Best for: Tinkerers who want visual workflows with AI agent nodes and the option to self-host for free

Strength: The self-hosted Community Edition is free with unlimited workflows and executions; agents, MCP and AI nodes are built in.

Limitation: Cloud plans are capped by executions (Starter is 2,500/mo), and self-hosting means you handle servers, patches and backups. The Sustainable Use License restricts resale and hosting.

Pricing (2026-10-16): Community Edition free (self-hosted); Cloud Starter €24/mo or €20/mo annual; Pro €60/mo.
