This page vs the other reads
n8n Pro vs Business is the step under this one. What Business adds over Pro, and that the step leaves n8n-hosted Cloud. This page starts after that yes.
n8n pricing explained is the four-column map: Starter, Pro, Business, and Enterprise, plus what an execution counts and the overage line. This page walks one step, Business against Enterprise, and stops.
n8n Starter vs Pro is the first paid step on Cloud. This page does not reprint what Pro adds over Starter.
When n8n Cloud is the right pick is whether hosted n8n is the product. This page starts after you are already on Business, or ready to buy it.
When n8n self-host is worth it is whether you should run the box. This page assumes that yes is already in place for Business. It asks whether Enterprise should host it instead, or keep the box and add the Enterprise rows.
n8n alternatives is a switch list. This page stays on n8n.
This page is the Business vs Enterprise step. Who hosts the instance. What you can buy yourself. What the pricing page will not price. Business prices vary by region, so they stay on n8n’s page, as do other execution steps.
Business is the box. Enterprise can be hosted.
The split on n8n pricing, accessed 2026-10-09, is who runs the instance. Not a longer copy of the Pro card.
For companies with < 100 employees needing collaboration and scale.
For organisations with strict compliance and governance needs.
The Business button is Start free trial. The line under that button is Self-hosted only. The card also prints Self-hosted. A text link on the same card reads “Hosted by n8n?” Its accessible name is “Join the waitlist for the Business plan hosted by n8n.” That is a waitlist.
The Enterprise price line is Contact Sales. The button under the custom-execution line is Contact sales. The hosting line is Hosted by n8n or Self-hosted. The card says a custom number of workflow executions. A list price: —.
To access Business or Enterprise features on your self-hosted instance, you receive a license key that must ping our license server daily to stay active.
The Business subscribe answer says that after you pay, you receive a license key by email and apply it to your Community instance. Staying self-hosted on either plan is still that box. Enterprise is the card that can also leave the box with n8n. A hosting bill for the instance you run: —. Whether the box is worth owning is When n8n self-host is worth it.
