n8n provides an innovative pricing model for automation that charges based on full workflow executions rather than per operation, step, or task, making it more cost-effective as users only incur charges when workflows run from start to finish. This approach allows for the creation of complex workflows without the usual cost penalties, offering unlimited users, workflows, and steps across all plans. Unlike other platforms that charge per step or task, n8n's model enables users to process substantial data volumes with predictable costs, as exemplified by significant savings on their Pro plan compared to competitors. For growing teams and large organizations, n8n offers Business and Enterprise plans with features like Self-hosting and SSO, ensuring that costs only rise with active workflow executions, thus supporting innovation and scalability without limits.
