Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Integromat

  • The free plan enforces a 15 minute minimum interval between runs, so nothing near real time is possible without paying
  • Free is limited to 2 active scenarios, a 5 MB file size and 7 days of execution logs
  • Billing is per credit where each module action counts as one, so a scenario with many steps consumes credits far faster than its run count suggests
  • Make API access requires a paid plan
  • Priority execution and full text log search are Pro features
  • Overage protection is Enterprise only, so cheaper plans can run up charges

n8n

  • Starter tier limited to 1 project and 5 concurrent executions
  • Starter and Pro tiers restricted to Cloud hosting only, not self-hosted
  • Business tier requires 6 months minimum commitment at €667/month
  • SSO/SAML/LDAP authentication requires Business or Enterprise tier
  • Dedicated support with SLA available only on Enterprise plan
