n8n — open source alternative

Node-based automation tool — self-host or cloud.

Strengths

  • 400+ integrations out of the box.
  • Visual editor plus code nodes for flexibility.
  • Active community building templates.

Weaknesses

  • License is "fair-code" — not strict OSI open source.
  • Cloud pricing scales with active executions.
  • Some integrations lag behind Zapier's freshest APIs.
