n8n pricing: what each plan costs

What are n8n's plans and prices?

n8n sells four plans: Starter, Pro, Business and Enterprise. Each is one price for the whole company, with unlimited users, and what you buy is a number of workflow executions a month. These prices are from n8n's own pricing page, read in US dollars on 13 November 2026.

Plan	Billed annually	Billed monthly	Executions a month	Where it runs
Starter	$20 a month	$24 a month	2,500	Hosted by n8n
Pro	$50 a month	$60 a month	10,000	Hosted by n8n
Business	$800 a month	$960 a month	40,000	Self-hosted only
Enterprise	Contact sales	Contact sales	Custom	Either

n8n's page says annual billing saves 17%.

What is an execution, and why does it matter for the price?

An execution is one complete run of a workflow, counted once however many steps it contains. A workflow that reads an order, checks stock, updates a sheet, sends an email and posts a message is one execution each time it runs.

That makes n8n's price easier to predict for long workflows than tools that charge for each step. It also means the count depends only on how often things run. n8n gives two examples:

• A workflow scheduled once a day runs 30 or 31 times a month.
• A workflow scheduled every 5 minutes runs about 8,600 to 8,900 times a month.

The second example alone would use most of a Pro plan. Frequent schedules are what eat executions, not complicated workflows.

What do you get on Starter and Pro?

Both are hosted by n8n, so there's no server to look after. Starter is built for a first few workflows, and Pro for automations a business depends on.

	Starter	Pro
Executions a month	2,500	10,000
Shared projects	1	3
Concurrent executions	5	Up to 50
Assistant credits a month	1,600	Up to 9,600
Insights	Not included	7 days
Admin roles and workflow history	Not included	Included

Both include agents, MCP and AI nodes, and support through n8n's forum.

Can you run n8n for free?

Yes, by hosting it yourself. The Community Edition is a standard self-hosted version of n8n on GitHub, with no charge from n8n.

Free of charge isn't free of cost. You need a server to run it on and someone to install it, update it, back it up and fix it when it stops. For a business with a technical person who enjoys that, it's excellent value. For one without, n8n Cloud at Starter's price is the cheaper choice once time is counted.

n8n Cloud itself has no free plan. It has a free trial, with no credit card required, that includes Pro-level features, 1,000 executions and 1 team project.

Why is the Business plan so much more?

Because it's a different product for a different buyer. Business jumps to $800 a month on annual billing, sixteen times Pro, and runs only on your own servers. It adds single sign-on and LDAP, multiple environments, version control with Git, 6 shared projects and 30 days of insights.

n8n describes it as for companies with fewer than 100 employees that need collaboration and scale. A company with under 20 employees can check whether it qualifies for the Startup plan, which takes 50% off Business.

A team of 5 or 10 rarely needs it. Pro, or the self-hosted Community Edition, covers most of them.

Is n8n cheaper than Zapier?

Often, for long workflows that run a modest number of times. The two charge for different things: n8n per workflow run, Zapier per action completed. A five-action workflow run 1,000 times a month is 1,000 executions in n8n, inside Starter at $20 a month on annual billing. In Zapier the same work is 5,000 tasks.

n8n also includes unlimited users on every plan. The trade is effort: n8n asks more technical skill to build with, and far more if you host it yourself.

How does Mojobase fit beside n8n?

Mojobase doesn't replace n8n, and the two work on different layers. n8n moves data between whatever tools you have. Mojobase puts your email, chat, calendar, tasks, files, Handbook, customers and numbers in one place, so there's less to move.

It costs $50 a month for the first person and $25 for each after, AI included. If you build your own agents, Mojobase gives them the whole business through one MCP server, with the steps on connecting your own agent.
