About n8n+

You can run the Community Edition free on your own server, or use n8n Cloud from about EUR20 a month.

Pricing: Community Edition is free to self-host under a fair-code licence. Cloud Starter EUR20/month annual (2,500 executions), Pro EUR50/month annual (10,000 executions). Unlimited users and workflows. Business (self-hosted) EUR667/month.
