Was ist n8n und wie funktioniert es?
n8n is a workflow automation tool aimed at technical teams. Its visual editor connects apps and services, and supports code steps in JavaScript or Python, custom HTTP/GraphQL requests, webhooks and AI agent building, including RAG use cases. It can be run on n8n's cloud or self-hosted; a free Community Edition is on GitHub. Paid plans charge per full workflow execution rather than per step, and all plans include unlimited users, workflows and integrations.

Wie Ihre Eingaben und Ausgaben verarbeitet werden
User workflow data, execution logs, and third-party integration credentials are stored; encrypted credential store available on all plans
Data not used to train n8n or third-party ML models
Execution history retained per plan (7–365+ days); user data retained per data processing agreement
Kommerzielle Nutzung und Tarifbeschränkungen
Workflows run by users for commercial purposes; n8n retains the right to use anonymized telemetry
Execution data redaction and external secret store integration available on Pro and Enterprise respectively
An execution is a single run of your entire workflow from start to finish, regardless of the number of steps or data processed. Unlike other tools that charge per step or task, n8n charges per execution, making costs more predictable. Quelle (öffnet in neuem Tab)
How do Assistant credits work?
Assistant credits (in preview) are included monthly in all n8n Cloud plans except Enterprise. Each plan has a monthly allowance (1,600 on Starter, 9,600 on Pro). Credits are consumed based on usage complexity and refresh monthly; unused credits do not roll over. Additional credits cannot yet be purchased. Quelle (öffnet in neuem Tab)
Is the Business plan available on n8n Cloud?
Not yet. The Business plan is currently self-hosted only. n8n is working on a cloud-hosted Business plan; interested users can join the waitlist. Quelle (öffnet in neuem Tab)
How many executions do I need for my use case?
Usage depends on your workflows. Scheduled workflows count by frequency (e.g., daily = 30 executions/month). Webhook-triggered workflows count by event frequency. Chatbot use cases multiply weekly conversations by average messages per conversation. Check your existing execution logs or estimate based on these formulas. Quelle (öffnet in neuem Tab)
Does n8n train on my data?
No. n8n does not use personal data or workflow data processed in connection with the Services to train n8n or third-party machine learning models. Quelle (öffnet in neuem Tab)
