n8n, wired into
the systems you already run.

n8n is a node-based workflow automation tool: you build the logic on a visual canvas of connected nodes, the same shape a developer would sketch on a whiteboard, rather than a linear list of steps. Two things set it apart in practice. First, it's source-available and genuinely self-hostable. A workflow can run entirely on your own infrastructure, with nothing about your data passing through a third party's servers, something Zapier and Make don't offer. Second, n8n drops to real JavaScript or Python inside a node the moment the visual builder isn't enough. A workflow doesn't hit a wall the way task-based tools often do once the logic gets genuinely complex. We reach for it specifically when those two things matter: data control or a process too irregular for a purely linear builder.

It depends on three things, and we work through them with you rather than defaulting to one answer. Data residency and compliance rules push toward self-hosting, since the workflow and everything passing through it stays on infrastructure you control. Expected run volume matters too: n8n cloud's pricing scales with usage, so a high-volume workflow can make self-hosting cheaper over time even after paying for the server. And your team's own operational capacity counts: self-hosting means someone owns the server it runs on, the updates and the uptime. That's either a non-issue for a team that already runs infrastructure, or a real cost for one that doesn't. We lay out the numbers for your specific case in discovery, and the choice is yours, in writing, before we build anything.

Every workflow we build ships with an error workflow attached: when a node fails, it doesn't just stop silently; it alerts your team with the specific failure and the item that triggered it. That's the difference between a mistake that gets caught in minutes and one discovered a month later in a client complaint. Beyond that, connected systems do change (a CRM updates its API, a spreadsheet's structure shifts). The monitoring retainer exists for exactly this: a scheduled check, credential rotation before anything expires, and n8n version upgrades tested on a staging copy before they touch the live instance. Clients who'd rather run this in-house get the workflow file and full documentation at handover; both paths are fine.

Yes to both. If you already run n8n, we audit what's there first: which workflows are solid, which are fragile, and where the credential and error-handling gaps sit, before adding anything new. Migrating off Zapier or Make is more involved than a straight export, since the node models don't map one to one. We rebuild the logic natively in n8n rather than translating it literally, and test it against real cases from your queue before cutting over. We'll say plainly if a given workflow isn't worth migrating yet, rather than billing hours to move something that's working fine where it is.

Choose an n8n agency when you want the workflow designed, built, monitored and handed over as one piece of work: that is what this page scopes. If you want one n8n consultant working inside your own team, hire an n8n developer instead. Not sure n8n is the right tool at all? Discovery will say which platform fits, in writing.

Every engagement opens with a scoped build: one workflow, your own queue, a working deliverable in 14 days, so you're pricing a small, defined piece of work rather than a platform rollout. The proposal you receive within 48 hours itemises what ships: the nodes built, the deployment choice and its infrastructure cost if self-hosted, the human checkpoints, and what the monitoring retainer covers if you want one. Extending to further workflows on the same instance is priced per workflow, once the first one has proved itself.

No, and we'd be doing you a disservice if we reached for it by default. Our wider workflow automation practice also builds on Zapier, Make and custom pipelines when one of those genuinely fits the job better. A simple two-step notification rarely needs n8n's node-based canvas. n8n earns its place when a process is complex enough, or sensitive enough about data, to justify it. This page exists because n8n workflow automation is the right fit often enough to warrant its own scope and pricing, not because it's the only door in.
