Enterprise workflow automation at startup pricing—$400/month with self-hosting and 200 active workflows.
n8n's Startup Plan gives you enterprise-grade automation features for $400/month if you're under 20 employees and less than 3 years old. You get 200 active workflows, unlimited executions, and the ability to self-host on your own infrastructure—a real advantage if you need control or have data residency concerns. The 14-day free trial lets you kick the tires before committing. The main catch: you need to stay under the employee and age caps to keep the rate, and they'll verify this. Best for teams that need serious workflow automation but can't stomach SaaS pricing yet.
