Nodey: Pricing, Features & Best Use Cases

Independent mobile app for iOS and Android to monitor, debug and trigger n8n workflows, with AI tools.

Nodey homepage screenshot, productivity & writing AI tool

Our take: Nodey suits n8n users who want to monitor executions, diagnose errors with AI and fire webhooks via NFC or geofence from their phone, with a free download on iOS and Android.

Main limitation: It needs an existing n8n instance with API access and does not replace the n8n web editor; Nodey AI plan prices appear only in-app.

What is Nodey, and how does it work?

Nodey is an independent companion app for n8n, not affiliated with n8n. It connects to a self-hosted n8n or n8n Cloud instance via API to monitor executions and activate workflows from a phone. It includes AI tools such as error diagnosis and a workflow builder, using a Nodey AI subscription or the user's own Claude, Gemini or Mistral API key.
