Hello n8n veterans and power users,
I’d love your opinion.
Which option do you think is best for running n8n?
Do you prefer n8n Cloud (€24 / ~US$28 per month), or do you prefer to self-host with a provider like Hostinger or TMD Hosting?
The cost difference is pretty significant. With my self-hosting plan (I use TMD Hosting) I pay US$120 per year (about US$10 per month). Apparently, when you self-host you also get unlimited workflow executions.
I’ve been learning n8n for the past month using the Cloud version, and I’m now thinking of cutting costs and switching to self-hosting.
Do you think the savings are worth the switch? Which option would you recommend and why?
For context, I’m currently using n8n for my own workflows, but I intend to start building automations for clients soon.
When you create automations for clients, do you ask them to create an n8n Cloud account, or do you recommend they self-host?
Thanks in advance, I’m keen to hear your experiences!
