Which one is for you
Pick n8n if
- Fits if you want automations on your own servers, where the Community Edition is free
- Works for workflows that need a few lines of JavaScript or Python in the middle
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free hosted plan, because n8n Cloud only has a 14-day trial
- Not for you if nobody on the team is technical, since it's pitched at developers
- Pricey if you need SSO or Git version control, which start on Business at €667 a month, self-hosted only
- Watch out: the free Community Edition leaves out projects, environments and workflow sharing, and you maintain it
- Watch out: prices are in euros, and no US dollar price list was found on n8n's site
Pick Rewst if
- Fits if you run an MSP and bill by client organization
- Works for MSP teams automating onboarding and billing reconciliation
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you're not an MSP, as the pricing and the product are built around client organizations
- Skip it if you need a price up front: none is published and the page sends you to a demo
- Watch out: execution history is kept for 30 days, so older runs won't be there to look at
- Tight if you want to try it first, as no free plan or trial is listed
- Watch out: the AI allowance is capped at 5% of the monthly invoice unless you bring your own AI key
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAn8nFair | 1.6GPARewstWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CCloud Starter is €20 a month billed annually for 2,500 executions, the dear end of this category, and a whole workflow run counts as one execution however many steps it has. Self-hosting the Community Edition costs nothing but your server, while SSO and Git version control start on Business at €667. | CNo rates are shown: the page explains per-client pricing, says the rate falls as you add bands of client organizations, and asks for a demo. With nothing on record it sits at C. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan on the hosted service, just a 14-day trial capped at 1,000 executions with no card needed. Free here means self-hosting the Community Edition, which is nearly the full product but leaves out SSO, projects, environments, Git and workflow sharing, and you maintain it. | FNothing free is listed: no free plan and no trial. The way in is a demo request. |
| Features | BA canvas with JavaScript or Python available in any step, single steps you can re-run while debugging, AI agents whose reasoning you can inspect and gate with approvals, 500+ integrations, custom API calls, and the option to run the lot air-gapped. The job, covered. | CAutomations, forms, dashboards and an AI agent, with unlimited users and automations on every account. Execution history is kept for only 30 days, and it's built for MSPs, so it's a narrower job than general automation. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record, and it's pitched at developers: accounts to connect, a canvas to learn, and code in the middle of a workflow when the nodes run out. The hosted version at least saves you installing it; the free route doesn't. | CNo store rating on record. You build workflows, forms and integrations first, so there's a learning curve. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA web app, hosted or on your own Docker setup, with no phone or desktop app. It cites 500+ integrations, reaches anything else through custom API calls, and the paid plans open up its own API. | CWeb only. The listing names no integrations beyond saying it connects to the tools an MSP already runs. |
| Best for | technical teams who want to host their own automation | automating work at an MSP |

Key features
n8n
- Visual builder with code steps
- Workflows are built on a canvas, and JavaScript or Python can be written anywhere in them. Single steps can be re-run and earlier data replayed while debugging.
- AI agents
- Agents are assembled from AI nodes on the same canvas, with each step of their reasoning open to inspection and the option to require human approval.
- Self-hosting
- n8n can run on your own infrastructure with Docker, including air-gapped setups. The Community Edition is free; Business and Enterprise add SSO, environments and Git version control.
- Execution-based pricing
- One run of a whole workflow counts as a single execution, however many steps it has. Going over the plan quota does not stop workflows, but overage charges may apply.
- Integrations and custom APIs
- The homepage cites 500+ integrations, including Google Sheets, Slack and OpenAI, and other services can be reached through custom API connections.
- Shared projects
- Shared projects group workflows for a team: 1 on Starter, 3 on Pro, 6 on Business and unlimited on Enterprise. Pro adds admin roles and workflow history.
Rewst
- Automations
- Build automations for MSP work such as user onboarding and billing reconciliation. The vendor says unlimited automations come with every account.
- Rewst Agent
- An AI agent that turns an idea into a working automation or app, connected to the workflows, integrations and data it needs.
- Forms and apps
- Branded, dynamic client-facing forms and a front door of apps, portals and dashboards for the automations you run.
- Integrations
- Connects to the tools an MSP already runs, with a Fabric feature for asking questions and acting across the stack.
- AI allowance
- Each account gets an AI allowance set at 5% of the monthly invoice, and you can connect your own AI provider key with no Rewst markup.
- Per-client pricing
- Unlimited users and every feature at every size; the rate falls as each new band of client organizations is added.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
