Should I self-host N8N or use the cloud?
Self-hosting gives you full control and unlimited executions but requires technical setup. N8N Cloud is easier to start with and handles scaling automatically. For enterprises with data privacy needs, self-hosting is recommended.
How does N8N pricing compare to Zapier?
N8N is generally more cost-effective for high-volume workflows. While Zapier charges per task, N8N charges per execution. A single N8N execution can include multiple operations, making it cheaper for complex workflows.
Can N8N integrate with any API?
Yes! N8N has 400+ pre-built nodes, and the HTTP Request node allows integration with any REST API. You can also build custom nodes for frequently-used APIs.
Do I need coding skills to use N8N?
Basic workflows require no coding. However, N8N's full power comes with JavaScript knowledge for data transformation, conditional logic, and custom functions.
Is N8N truly open source?
N8N uses a 'Fair-code' license. It is free to use for internal business purposes or personal use. However, if you want to resell N8N as a managed service, you need a commercial license.
What is the difference between N8N and Make (Integromat)?
N8N is self-hostable and node-based, offering better privacy and unlimited flexibility for developers. Make is purely cloud-based and charges by operation, which can get expensive for heavy data processing.
Can N8N handle heavy enterprise workloads?
Yes. When self-hosted, N8N can be scaled horizontally using workers to handle thousands of executions per minute, making it suitable for enterprise-grade data pipelines.
Does N8N support webhooks?
Yes. The Webhook node is one of the most popular triggers in N8N. It allows your workflows to react instantly to external events from services like Stripe, GitHub, or custom apps.
How secure is N8N for sensitive data?
Extremely secure. Since you can self-host N8N on your own infrastructure (AWS, Azure, etc.), your data never leaves your control. It also supports credential encryption and RBAC (Role-Based Access Control).
Can I use Python in N8N workflows?
While N8N is built on Node.js and uses JavaScript natively, you can execute Python scripts using the 'Execute Command' node or by calling external Python-based microservices.
