n8n is a self-hostable workflow automation platform that connects apps and APIs with nodes. It combines visual building with code inside nodes, and includes nodes for AI agents.
Best for
Technical teams and indie developers who need to connect several systems and want the data to stay on their own servers.
Highlights
- Integrates with hundreds of apps, and an HTTP node calls any API.
- JavaScript or Python can be dropped into a flow, which is more flexible than pure no-code tools.
- The self-hosted version is not billed per execution, which suits high-frequency jobs.
Watch for
It takes more technical background than tools like Zapier. The source uses a sustainable-use license that restricts commercial resale.
