n8n vs Zapier vs Make

Zapier and Make (Integromat) are cloud-based, message-priced platforms. They get costly at scale. n8n is self-hosted (on your server), free core + optional cloud edition.

Beyond cost, n8n's biggest advantage: data stays in your company. Zapier routes data through Zapier servers; n8n keeps it inside. Important for KVKK, GDPR.

Which flows do we automate?

Common flows: WhatsApp lead → CRM, e-commerce order → ERP, contact form → CRM + Slack notification, invoice PDF → accounting software, AI chatbot conversation → CRM, automated report emails.

Company-specific flows emerge from process mapping. A typical enterprise customer gets 5–15 distinct flows; each saves manual time.

03.

AI / LLM integration

Recent n8n versions ship AI / LLM nodes standard. OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere — callable from inside n8n workflow. No separate dev required for smart decisions.

Example: sentiment-analyze the incoming customer message via LLM, score priority, send high-priority to Slack, batch low-priority into a weekly report. All in a single n8n workflow.

04.

Self-host setup and maintenance

We install n8n self-host via Docker container; a typical VPS suffices (small volume ~$5/month). Larger volume on Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS — by your preference.

Monthly support: new workflows, optimize existing, error monitoring, version upgrades. n8n's update cadence is fast; constant improvements.
