License: Sustainable Use License — Fair-code: source-available, free for internal business use including self-host. Reselling as a SaaS or competing with n8n's commercial offering is restricted.

Good fit for Devs and ops who want code-extensible workflows (every node can call a Function step) and aren't blocked by the SUL.

Weak at License is non-OSI; if your use case is commercial reselling, this won't qualify.

Replaces these SaaS

  • Zapier · Workflow automation / iPaaS

    Zapier doesn't export Zaps, so workflow migration is manual. n8n has 400+ integrations including Gmail, Slack, Notion, Airtable, OpenAI, HTTP. Map each Zap trigger → n8n Trigger node, each action → n8n Action node. Webhook-based Zaps port directly to n8n's Webhook node.
