Workflow Automation

n8n

n8n

Open-source, self-hosted workflow automation that gives RevOps teams unlimited workflows with zero per-task pricing. Self-hosting means your data never leaves your infrastructure, which matters for teams handling sensitive CRM data or operating under strict compliance requirements. The node-based editor supports 400+ integrations, custom JavaScript/Python code nodes, and AI agent workflows that are ahead of Zapier and Make. Complex workflows with branching, loops, sub-workflows, and error handling are well-supported. The trade-off is the technical setup: self-hosting requires Docker knowledge or a Linux server, and you're responsible for updates and monitoring. n8n Cloud ($20+/month) removes the self-hosting burden but adds per-workflow pricing. For technical RevOps teams that want to build sophisticated automation without per-task costs eating into the budget, n8n is the most cost-effective option at scale.
