The n8n automation agency.Automation you own, not rent.
Zapier and Make get pricey fast and run your data through someone else's servers. As an n8n automation agency, we rebuild your workflows for less, self-host so your data stays in-house, wire in AI for Claude and GPT where it earns its place, and keep the whole thing monitored. Your team operates it after launch, and owns it for good.

GeminiWhy hire an n8n automation agency instead of building it yourself.
You already know what n8n is, so let's talk about the part that actually costs you time. Building a workflow is the easy 20%. The other 80% is hosting it right, wiring in error handling, migrating off Zapier without breaking anything, and being the one who notices when a run fails at 2am. Here are the four places we take that weight off your team.
- Cheaper than Zapier
We build and migrate, you stop overpaying
When Zapier or Make bills you per task and the number keeps climbing, that's usually why teams call an n8n automation agency in the first place. We rebuild your scenarios in n8n and, where it makes sense, self-host them so you pay for a small server instead of per-run pricing. A concrete one: an invoice lands in your inbox, n8n reads it, files it in your accounting tool, and the payment reminder goes out on its own. Same automation you already run, a fraction of the monthly bill.

A workflow breaks at 3am. You hear it, not your client
Here's the part nobody warns you about with DIY automation: a workflow fails quietly, and you only notice three days later when a client asks where their confirmation went. Every workflow we build has error handling wired in, so a failed run gets logged, your team gets pinged in Slack, and the data is held instead of dropped. We watch the systems we ship. When something breaks, you find out from us, not from an angry customer.
See how we keep it running - AI that actually ships
Claude, GPT, agents, wired into your workflows
n8n has the deepest AI toolkit of any no-code automation platform right now: native nodes for Anthropic Claude, OpenAI and Mistral, plus an AI Agent node that can plan a task, call your tools, read the result and keep going. We connect it to a vector database (a store that lets the AI answer from your own documents) when you need that. If you want AI doing real work inside your automations, this is exactly where n8n pulls ahead of Zapier and Make.

Open source, your data stays yours
n8n being open source changes who's in charge. Self-hosted, it runs on your own server (or ours, managed for you), so customer data flows straight between your apps and never sits on a third party's platform. That's the setup healthcare, legal and finance teams need to stay inside their data rules. And the workflows are just files you can export. If we ever part ways, you keep the system, the data and the integrations, with no SaaS holding your operations hostage.

The track record, and where the number starts.
- 40+Companies automated, worldwide
Since 2024 we've built and shipped n8n automations for more than 40 companies, from software teams to online stores to regulated B2B, with clients worldwide. Different stacks every time, same job: build the workflow, host it right, and keep it running so nobody has to babysit it.
- from $2kTo start; exact quote after the audit
An n8n build starts from $2,000, and where it lands depends on how many workflows you migrate and how deep the AI goes. You get the precise number after the free audit. Some projects wrap in a week, bigger migrations run closer to six months. The n8n platform itself is $20-60/month on Cloud, or $10-30 of compute if we self-host it.
- 150+Automations shipped and watched
We've shipped more than 150 automations since 2024, and we don't disappear once they go live. We monitor the ones we host, catch the silent failures, and hand your team a runbook for the rest. The repetitive work runs itself, and someone is actually keeping an eye on it.
Four steps, from audit to a team that runs its own n8n.
Same shape every project. We audit what you need, pick cloud or self-hosted with you, build three to five workflows in two to three weeks, then monitor them and train your team. Most builds go live in four to six weeks, and your people are running it on their own inside a month.
- Audit. We map the workflows you need, the tools they touch, how sensitive the data is, and your real monthly volume. One hour, no slide deck.
- Decide. n8n Cloud (managed, nothing to host) or self-hosted (data stays on your infrastructure). We pick it with you, based on your needs, not our margin.
- Build. Three to five workflows shipped in two to three weeks, connected to your real tools, with AI nodes wired in where they earn their place and error alerts baked in.
- Run and hand over. We monitor what we ship, fix the breaks, and train two people on your side so your team operates n8n without an IT ticket.
Why teams hand their n8n build to us instead of DIY.
Automation is what we do: n8n workflows, custom CRMs, process automation, and the AI layer on top. We've built and shipped over 150 automations since 2024 for clients worldwide, and the pattern never changes. Getting the first workflow live is the easy part. The rest is hosting it right, wiring in error handling, migrating off Zapier without anything going dark, and being the one who's watching when it fails. That's the work you're really buying, and it's the work we've done more than a hundred times.
- We build workflows your ops team can actually edit after launch. You own the system, not a standing dependency on us.
- We migrate you off Zapier or Make one scenario at a time, so there's no big-bang cutover and nothing goes dark during the move.
- We monitor the workflows we host and catch a silent failure before it quietly costs you leads or orders.
- If three simple automations are all you have, we'll say Make is cheaper for you and leave it there. n8n earns its keep at real volume.
Sixty minutes, and you leave with a real plan.
One call. We go through your current Zapier or Make setup, the workflows you need, how sensitive your data is, and your monthly volume. You walk away with the cost side laid out, a straight cloud-versus-self-hosted recommendation, and a timeline if you decide to proceed. Even if you don't hire us, the plan is yours to keep.

- The workflows worth migrating first, and the new ones to build

How our n8n automation agency lands inside your business.
Five steps, each with something you can point to at the end. You sign off before we move on. By week four your first workflows are live. By week six your team is running n8n without us, and we're still watching the systems we host.
- Step 1 · Audit your setup
We map your workflows, tools and data sensitivity
Sixty minutes with your team. What you already run on Zapier or Make and what it costs you, the new automations you need, how sensitive the data is (customer records, financial, health), and your real monthly volume. You walk out with a clear picture: what to migrate, what to build fresh, and how the n8n numbers stack up against your current tools. No slide deck, no obligation to go further.
- Step 2 · Cloud or self-hosted
We pick n8n Cloud or your own server, with you
n8n Cloud is the fast start: nothing to host, $20-60/month for typical SMB volume, right for teams that just want it working. Self-hosted is for regulated data, heavy volume, or full data ownership, and it runs on a small server ($10-30/month at Hetzner, OVH or DigitalOcean). Either way, the build itself starts from $2,000, with the exact quote set once we've seen your volume. We recommend what fits your business, not what bills you more.
- Step 3 · Build in 2-3 weeks
Three to five workflows live on your real tools
Two to three weeks from sign-off to working workflows. We migrate your highest-value Zapier or Make automations first, build new ones for the gaps, and wire AI nodes (Claude, OpenAI) where they actually fit. Every workflow ships with error handling, so a failed run gets logged, your team gets notified, and nothing is quietly lost. We test on real data with your team before anything touches production.
- Step 4 · Monitor and maintain
We watch the systems so they don't fail in silence
This is the piece DIY skips. Once your workflows are live, we keep an eye on them: health alerts to Slack, error workflows that flag a broken run the moment it happens, and updates handled on the ones we host. If something breaks at 3am, the alert fires and the data waits safely instead of vanishing. You find out from us, and most months it's a quiet inbox.
- Step 5 · Train and hand over
Your team runs n8n after we step back
n8n's visual editor is built for non-developers, the same as Make's. Three sessions with the two people on your side: how to read a workflow, how to edit and test a change safely, how to troubleshoot a failure. Plus written docs and a runbook of the likely failure modes. Your team is autonomous within a month, and you can keep a light monthly arrangement for new builds and monitoring or take it fully in-house. No annual contract is forced, and we shape the format around your real need during the audit.
Agency, DIY, a new hire, or just staying on Zapier?
Before you hire an n8n automation agency, it's worth being honest about the four real options in front of you. Each one fits a different situation, and one of them might genuinely be you. Here's how we'd sort it, no pitch attached, so you can rule us out fast if we're not the right call.
- Stay on Zapier or Make if you've got a few simple automations and the bill doesn't sting. At low volume it's honestly the easiest path, and switching to n8n wouldn't pay for itself.
- Do it yourself if someone on your team enjoys the tooling and has the hours. n8n is learnable. Just know the real cost isn't the build, it's being on call when a workflow breaks two months later.
- Hire in-house when automation is core to how you operate and you'll keep a person busy full-time. A strong automation hire is worth it at that scale, though they're pricey and slow to find.
- Bring in an agency when you want the workflows built fast, hosted right and watched, without adding headcount. That's the case we're built for: the migration, the AI nodes, the monitoring, and a team that owns their n8n once we step back.
n8n, answered without the sales pitch.
What does an n8n automation agency actually do?
An n8n automation agency builds, hosts and maintains your automated workflows on n8n so your team doesn't have to. In practice that's three things. We design and build the workflows (connecting Gmail, HubSpot, Notion, Slack, Stripe and 400+ other tools). We set up hosting, either n8n Cloud or self-hosted on your own server. And we monitor them, so a broken run gets caught and fixed instead of failing in silence. The reason to delegate it rather than DIY is simple: getting one workflow live is easy, keeping a dozen of them reliable while you run a business is the hard part.How much does an n8n automation agency cost?
An n8n build with us starts from $2,000, and the final number depends on how many workflows you migrate, how deep the integrations go, and whether AI is involved. You get a precise quote after a free 60-minute audit, once we've seen your setup and volume. Separately, the n8n platform itself is $20-60/month on Cloud or $10-30/month of compute if we self-host it, usually well below the same workload on Zapier or Make. Timelines range from one week for a small build to six months for a large migration.Is n8n really cheaper than Zapier or Make?
Usually yes, and the gap grows with volume. Zapier bills per task and Make bills per operation, so your cost climbs every time a workflow runs. Self-hosted n8n bills you for the server, not the runs, so a small VPS can cost $20-60/month where Zapier at the same volume runs into the hundreds or thousands. The catch: self-hosted n8n needs setting up and maintaining, which is the part an agency handles. If you only have a handful of simple automations, Make can still be the cheaper answer, and we'll say so.Should we run n8n on the cloud or self-host it?
Cloud if you just want it working, self-hosted if you have regulated data, heavy volume, or want full data ownership. n8n Cloud ($20-60/month for SMB volume) means nothing to host and no server to maintain. Self-hosting ($10-30/month for a small VPS) keeps every byte of data on your own infrastructure, which is the only option that works for healthcare, finance or strict EU data rules, and it gets cheaper than Cloud once you're at heavy volume. We decide it with you during the audit, based on what your business actually needs.What's the best hosting or VPS for n8n?
For most SMB workloads, a small VPS from Hetzner, OVH or DigitalOcean ($10-30/month) is plenty, and Hetzner tends to be the best value in the EU. The right size depends on how many executions you run and how heavy the workflows are: a data-light setup runs comfortably on 2GB of RAM, while AI-heavy workflows want more headroom. We handle the server choice, the Docker setup, backups and updates as part of a self-hosted build, so you don't have to become a sysadmin to own your data.Can n8n handle AI workflows and agents?
Yes, and it's one of the strongest reasons to pick n8n in 2026. It has native nodes for Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Cohere and Mistral, plus an AI Agent node that handles multi-step tasks: the AI plans, calls a tool, reads the result and keeps going until the job is done. Connect a vector database (Pinecone, Qdrant or Supabase, a store that lets the AI answer from your own documents) and it can respond using your private knowledge. We build these AI workflows with the same error handling and monitoring as everything else, so they don't drift or fail unnoticed.Who fixes our workflows when one breaks?
We do, on the systems we host and monitor for you. Every workflow we ship has error handling wired in, so a failed run is logged, your team is alerted in Slack, and the data is held instead of lost. On a monitored arrangement, we get the same alert and fix the break, often before you've even noticed. This is the honest gap between DIY and an agency: setting up a workflow is a weekend project, but being the one who wakes up when it fails at 3am is a job. That job is what you're really delegating.Can our non-technical team run n8n after you leave?
Yes. n8n's visual editor is built for marketers, ops people and founders, the same as Make's. The everyday changes (swapping a recipient, adding a step, reconnecting an app) take a few minutes once your team is trained. We run three sessions with two people on your side, leave written docs and a runbook of the likely failure modes, and most of our clients are autonomous within a month. Self-hosting adds some setup that we handle, but the day-to-day editor is the same friendly canvas either way.What if we want to leave n8n later?
You can, easily, because nothing is locked in. Every workflow is a JSON file you export with one click, the connections are standard APIs that behave the same in any other tool, and the data lives in your real systems, not inside n8n. If you ever want to move to Make or to custom code, the path is clean, and we document the export during handover. That's the whole point of building on open source: you own the system instead of renting it.Do you work with US teams remotely?
Yes, we run fully remote by default, so it makes no difference whether your team is in the US, the EU or anywhere else. The audit, the build and the training all happen over video with shared access to your n8n instance. Remote is actually an advantage for self-hosting, since we deploy straight onto your server (AWS, DigitalOcean, Hetzner) with nothing to ship. We schedule calls in your working hours and hand off async in between, and everything we build stays fully yours.
Stop babysitting automations that break. Hand them over.
A free 60-minute audit. We look at your current Zapier or Make setup against what n8n would cost, recommend cloud or self-hosted for your real needs, and give you a timeline if we proceed. The build starts from $2,000, and you'll know the exact number before anything's committed.
