When comparing make.com vs n8n pricing, the difference is in the metrics. Make.com charges per "operation"—every single step counts. A loop processing 1,000 rows can burn your budget in minutes.
With OpenHosst, you pay for server performance, not for how many times your automation runs.
While Make.com offers a polished "no-code" interface, it often hits a wall with complex logic. n8n is "fair-code," allowing you to use custom JavaScript and Python directly within nodes.
