n8n 2026 年定價指南：各方案費用與用量限制

Originally published on integrationstars.com. Figures checked on n8n.io/pricing on October 15, 2026.

n8n pricing in one paragraph: n8n Cloud costs €20 a month (Starter, 2,500 workflow executions), €50 a month (Pro, 10,000) or €667 a month (Business, 40,000, self-hosted only), all billed annually, and Enterprise is by quote. The self-hosted Community Edition is free to download, but you pay for the server and for running it. n8n counts one execution per workflow run, however many steps it has.

n8n pricing at a glance

These are the plans on n8n's own pricing page as of October 15, 2026. The page shows prices in euros, defaults to annual billing, and doesn't show an effective date, so confirm on the live page before you buy.

All plans list unlimited users and unlimited active workflows. Starter support is forum-only. The Cloud free trial includes 1,000 executions. Companies under 20 employees may qualify for a startup plan that n8n describes as 50% off Business.

How n8n counts an execution

An execution is one run of the entire workflow. n8n's pricing page states that it doesn't matter how many steps the workflow has or how much data it processes, and it does not bill per step. A workflow with twelve nodes that fires 2,000 times in a month is 2,000 executions. A loop that handles 500 records inside one run is still one execution.

That is the opposite of per-task billing, where every action in a run counts. Our n8n vs Zapier and n8n vs Make comparisons show how the three tools meter usage and what that does to the bill.

How often a workflow runs decides the plan

Because each run is one execution, the schedule matters more than the number of nodes. These are straight multiplications for one workflow over a 30-day month:

So a single polling workflow can outgrow Starter. Webhook-triggered workflows count one execution per incoming event, which makes volume harder to predict. If you can switch a poll to a webhook, or poll less often, you can stay on a smaller plan.

Three worked examples

These are illustrations built from the plan limits above, not quotes.

• Small team, three light workflows. Lead routing runs 1,200 times a month, invoice notifications 600 and a weekly report 4. That is 1,804 executions, inside Starter's 2,500. Cost: €20 a month, or €240 a year billed annually.
• One production sync every 5 minutes. 288 runs a day over 30 days is 8,640 executions. That is over Starter and inside Pro's 10,000, with about 1,360 left for everything else. Cost: €50 a month, or €600 a year.
• An agent that answers every customer message. At 15,000 messages a month, one execution each, you are above Pro's 10,000. Business covers 40,000 but is self-hosted only, at €667 a month, about €8,004 a year, plus your own infrastructure. Enterprise is by quote. Batching or filtering messages before they trigger a run can change the answer.

What happens if you go over

According to n8n's pricing page, workflows keep running after you pass the quota, and overage charges may apply if you don't upgrade. Unpaid overages are invoiced 45 days after they occur. On Business, the page lists an overage of €4,000 for each extra bucket of 300,000 executions. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time, effective at the end of the billing cycle. Annual plans run to the end of the term, and n8n states that it offers no pro-rata refunds.

Self-hosted n8n: free software, not free to run

The Community Edition is a standard self-hosted version of n8n available on GitHub, and downloading it costs nothing. What you pay for is everything around it: a server, backups, updates, security patches, monitoring, and someone responsible when it goes down. As a rule of thumb, self-hosting tends to win when you have in-house DevOps skills, high run volumes, or data you must keep on your own infrastructure. Hosted plans win when you want no maintenance.

One detail worth knowing before you commit: n8n says Business and Enterprise license keys must contact its license server daily, and that this ping includes production execution counts. Telemetry is on by default and can be turned off.

Limits to check before you buy

• Polling schedules. See the table above. Add up every scheduled workflow, not just the biggest.
• Concurrency and run time. Starter allows 5 concurrent executions and 5-minute runs, which long AI or batch workflows can exceed.
• Log retention. 7 days on Starter and 30 days on Pro, per the page. Debugging an old failure needs enough retention.
• AI Assistant credits. Starter lists 1,600 a month and Pro up to 9,600, and they refresh monthly without rolling over.
• The page contradicts itself in places. The Pro card says up to 50 concurrent executions while the feature table shows "20 / 50", and the FAQ gives Assistant credits as "4,000 or 9,600, depending on your plan size". Confirm the figure that matters to you before paying.
