n8n is free forever if you self-host it (open source). You just pay for hosting costs, typically $5-20/month on DigitalOcean or AWS. If you prefer managed hosting, n8n Cloud starts at $20/month for 2,500 executions. Unlike Zapier, there are NO execution limits on the self-hosted version - run millions of workflows for just your hosting cost.
For most marketing teams, n8n is better because: (1) 3-5x cheaper at scale, (2) unlimited executions on self-hosted version, (3) more powerful with advanced logic and AI agent support, (4) you own your data with self-hosting, (5) open source means no vendor lock-in. Zapier is easier for complete beginners, but n8n is not much harder to learn and far more powerful. Plus, with our 2,589 pre-built workflows, you don't have to build from scratch.
Absolutely! n8n has native integrations for Claude (Anthropic API), ChatGPT (OpenAI API), Gemini (Google API), and dozens of other AI models.

No! n8n has a visual drag-and-drop interface. You can build powerful workflows without writing any code. However, if you DO know JavaScript or Python, you can add custom code for advanced logic - giving you the best of both worlds. Start with our 2,589 pre-built workflows, import them with one click, and customize the settings. Most marketers are running complex automations within a week without touching code.
