n8n Cost Calculator: Cloud vs Self-Hosting

Compare n8n Cloud plans for your monthly executions with what self-hosting costs on your own server and time assumptions.

One execution is one full workflow run, however many steps it has.

Self-hosting: your assumptions (EUR)

These numbers are yours, not Vetted Authority data. Enter them in EUR so they compare with n8n's EUR prices; nothing is converted.

n8n's month-to-month price in euros was not captured, so the comparison uses the annual-billing price.

What triggers the next tier: More than 2,500 executions a month moves you to Pro at 10,000 executions a month: €50/mo billed annually.

n8n's pricing page lists a self-hosted Community Edition on GitHub and states no price for it, so no licence cost is included here. n8n's paid self-hosted plan, Business, is €667/mo billed annually; add it yourself if you need its features.

Assumptions
  • n8n Cloud prices come only from the Vetted SaaS Price Index entry for n8n, read from the page n8n serves in Germany (EUR). n8n shows US visitors dollar prices; we never convert one into the other.
  • Plans n8n lists as self-hosted only are left out of the Cloud quote.
  • The self-hosting figure is server cost + maintenance hours × your hourly value, exactly as you entered them.
