About each tool
n8n
Workflow automation and AI-agent platform. Self-host the Community Edition or use n8n Cloud from €20/mo billed annually; billing counts workflow executions.
Who it is for
Teams and individuals who want to automate tasks across apps and build AI-agent workflows, and who either want a hosted service or can run their own instance. Higher tiers add admin roles, SSO and Git version control for larger organisations.
Strengths
- Cloud billing counts whole workflow executions; n8n says the number of steps in a run does not change the count
- All plans list unlimited users and workflows, and every integration
- Cloud plans include agents, MCP and AI nodes
- A standard self-hosted version is available on GitHub, with documentation at docs.n8n.io
- A free cloud trial is offered (the pricing page says no credit card is needed)
Limitations
- Starter cloud is capped at 2.5K executions a month, 5 concurrent executions and 5 minutes per execution
- Pro cloud is capped at 10K executions a month; admin roles start at Pro
- The Sustainable Use License limits use to internal business or non-commercial purposes; it is not an OSI-approved open-source licence
- SSO/LDAP, multiple environments, queue mode and Git version control are listed under Business
Gumloop
No-code builder for AI agents and workflows, with MCP support. Pro starts at $37 a month with a 14-day trial; no free plan is listed on its pricing page.
Who it is for
A vendor blog post says it is built for enterprise companies and lists users from solo operators to enterprise teams in marketing, sales, customer service, HR and operations.
Strengths
- Pro lists unlimited agents, seats and teams, and 35+ models, according to the live pricing page
- Pro lists 20,000 included credits a month, 5 concurrent workflow runs, 25 concurrent agent chats and 1 hosted MCP server
- The vendor's blog says Gumloop hosts and proxies MCP servers and that they can be used for APIs it does not cover with a pre-built integration
- A vendor blog post says it has hundreds of built-in integrations and is SOC 2 and GDPR compliant. We found no exact count and no audit report
- Enterprise lists an optional virtual private cloud, SCIM and SAML sign-on, audit logs, role-based access and organization-wide connector policies
Limitations
- Pro's 20,000 credits a month (7,400 paid plus 12,600 bonus) do not roll over, per the credits docs. Overage can be turned on at $0.005 a credit and is capped (default 1,000,000 credits), and agents stop at the cap
- An 8% orchestration fee applies on Pro, rising to 16% on agent chats when you bring your own model key, per the credits docs. Enterprise lists discounts on it
- Concurrency and hosted MCP servers are capped on Pro (5 workflow runs, 25 agent chats, 1 MCP server). Enterprise values are custom
