n8n Marketplace Alternatives: Why Open Beats Closed
You're comparing Zapier, Make, and n8n. Here's what the research shows: n8n's open marketplace gives you 5,000+ integrations, cost control, and data you actually own. No vendor lock-in.
The Real Cost Problem
Zapier and Make charge per task. A workflow that runs 50,000 times a month can cost $800-$1,200. n8n charges a flat monthly fee. Same workflow costs $40-$100. That's an 80% savings just from the pricing model.
Your Data, Your Rules
With Zapier or Make, your workflow data passes through their servers. GDPR compliance is possible, but your data isn't under your control. Self-hosted n8n means your workflows stay on your server, in your region, encrypted the whole time.

Community-built integrations, instantly available
n8n's open marketplace has 5 times more integrations than Zapier. Build custom nodes without permission requests or approval delays.
Your data. Your region. Your compliance.
Zapier processes your workflow data on US servers. Make offers EU hosting as an add-on. With self-hosted n8n, your data never leaves your region.
This matters if:
- You operate in the EU and GDPR compliance is non-negotiable
- You handle customer data and need to prove data residency
- You want workflows encrypted end-to-end, no exceptions
