Hi all,

I have seen lately that the ‘source available’ N8N (which is excellent), has starting increasing pricing and restricting what you can get for your pricing.

In time, I can only assume this will get worse. Now, they deserve to get paid, and that’s fine, but I had gone in thinking this was open source, but I see now it’s not that at all.

This has led me to wonder if there’s a true open source / self hosted alternative to N8N out there? Doing a bit of a hunt shows ‘source available’ alternatives, with a price point, and restrictions. I’m wondering if any team has tackled this in a truly open manner and if there’s something out there?

Thanks so much

    For now, but the writing on the wall in the forums is that the self hosted version will also have a reduction of capabilities in time. The owner has posted in a forum thread that he doesn’t feel that just because you self host that you should also get it completely unrestricted. And that is fine, it is their own commercial system, but I am looking for something that does not impose restrictions. I am happy to pay, but the rates they are wanting are above my capabilities for what I am using it for.
