Every automation SaaS pitches the same thing: connect your tools, no code, done in an afternoon. What they don’t put in the pitch deck is that you’re renting the workflow logic, not owning it — cancel the subscription and the automation is gone with it.
n8n is a tool we build with because the logic lives in a workflow you actually own, self-hostable, not locked to a per-seat price that scales against you as the team grows. That’s not a preference for one tool’s UI — it’s a decision about who controls the thing running your business processes.
Rent the software. Own the workflow.
