Do You Use n8n as SaaS or Self-Hosted?

·Feb 03, 2026 10:47 AM·

Hi, everyone! Quick question: do you use n8n as SaaS or self-hosted? I’m asking because I joined an n8n workshop and discovered the self-hosted version, and it’s amazing.

Self-hosted is great if you have the technical expertise. SaaS is great if you want it to be "done for you". I've done both, but since we build software, we tend to use self-hosted everything. Disclaimer: I don't use n8n anymore, we do LangFlow instead

Thanks for sharing, Damian O. that makes a lot of sense. I got really curious about self-hosted because I believe it can help save a good amount of money, especially since we run a high volume of executions per month. I actually didn’t know about LangFlow before, would you recommend it over n8n for this kind of use case? I’ll definitely take some time to research it as well.

This is one more of -> if you are technical enough. LangFlow is the maximum "open source" but that means you have a lot of configuration to do (and a lot of coding some times). Self-hosted n8n I like because of data sensitivity and privacy - and yes, saves money. The tradeoff, you need to maintain the hosting
