Don't get locked into execution limits. Compare official n8n Cloud plans against the unlimited $1/month OpenHosst alternative.
Breakdown of the n8n Cloud Starter and Pro tiers versus OpenHosst.

Billed Monthly ($12/year)
The n8n Cloud Starter plan ($20/mo) is capped at 2,500 executions. In a production environment, this limit is restrictive.
A single workflow checking for new emails every 10 minutes uses 4,320 executions/month. You would exceed the Starter plan limits with just one active workflow.
Once you hit the limit, automation stops. To keep running, you are forced to upgrade to the Pro tier ($50/mo), increasing your annual spend to $600+.
SaaS platforms billing in Euros/USD often lack purchasing power parity. For developers in India, Brazil, and emerging markets, currency conversion makes standard cloud hosting prohibitively expensive.
