N8N
AI toolAutomatizace
Automation for developers (fair-code licence): running on your own server with full control over the data.
What it is
Open-source automation.
N8N works under a "fair-code" model, which lets you install it on your own servers for free (self-hosting). Because N8N runs with you, the data never leaves your infrastructure. That is why it is the only usable choice for strictly regulated sectors (healthcare, finance, GDPR in the EU) that cannot send client data to a third-party cloud.
What it does
What it does
- Free to run on your own servers (self-hosting, fair-code model)
- Data never leaves your infrastructure: compliant with GDPR and HIPAA
- Strong support for tools for building AI agents (LangChain, vector databases)
- Custom JavaScript inside nodes: more flexible logic than in Make
- Building AI agents that use tools (search, pulling data from websites, summarising)
Good for
- Strictly regulated sectors: healthcare, finance, EU GDPR
- Developers, IT teams and data engineers
- Complex flows with custom business logic
- AI agents that understand context
Not for
- Users without a technical background who want to click and be done (choose Make)
Our verdict
The developer's choice where control over data and flexibility decide. For us the only option for projects that must not send client data to someone else's cloud (onto someone else's servers).
Why we use it
We use N8N for open-source automation. It suits complex automated flows with full control over the data, run on your own server, where we connect various services and systems.
