Zapier and Make work great for the first 10 workflows. They get expensive fast. A team running 50 active automations on Zapier Professional pays $19.99 to $73 per month at common task tiers, and the execution credits run thin at higher volumes. The same workload on a self-hosted n8n instance runs $5 to $15 per month on an entry-tier VPS, or EUR 50 per month on n8n Cloud Pro (about $54 USD).
Cost is half the story. The other half is logic. n8n has full JavaScript or Python in Code nodes, native loop and merge handling, version-controlled workflow exports, and a Code node that can hit any API. Zapier punts to Webhooks and external scripts after a certain complexity threshold. The threshold comes faster than people think.
For agencies and B2B operators with growing automation footprints, n8n pays back inside 90 days. The transition is the hard part. That is where I come in.
