The ability to create any workflow that you can think of. All known platforms and software are supported on the platform as well.

What I like most about n8n is its flexibility. I can build workflows visually, but I can also drop in JavaScript or use APIs whenever I need more control. It works really well for connecting different tools and automating repetitive tasks, without ever making me feel boxed in or too limited.

The product has evolved a lot since the first time I tried it. I now use it for workflows that require stable execution of repetitive tasks, especially around market research, large-scale data scraping, and any kind of automation where predictability and performance matter. There are tons of integrations and community nodes, and being able to plug pretty much anything into n8n is what makes it feel truly out of the box and easy to use. On pricing and the free community version: I’m not sure how the current popularity of agentic solutions like Claude Caude, Codex, etc. is affecting the simpler n8n use cases. I have a feeling more users might choose those over n8n, but I personally really hope the community version we use right now on a 64 GB VPS continues to exist. Otherwise, we’ll have to pay a lot more for a subscription, and we’ll need to rethink whether it still fits our use case. Support and onboarding are also strong. There are millions of videos on YouTube, and the huge communities on Reddit and Telegram make almost any n8n question easier and easier to resolve—even by chatting with an LLM that has already scraped Reddit for us and used it for reasoning.
