ezhost vs n8n Cloud — managed n8n without execution limits
Honest comparison · prices checked July 4, 2026 · corrections: support@ezhost.app
n8n Cloud is the official managed offering: Starter at 20 €/month (billed annually) includes 2,500 workflow executions. On ezhost you run the same open-source n8n from €9/month — with no execution counter at all. The limit is your plan's RAM/CPU, not a meter.

The honest part
n8n Cloud is run by the people who build n8n — that is a real advantage we cannot copy. What we offer is the economics of self-hosting without the ops: from €9/month, no execution meter, your own instance. To be fair: «unlimited» here means «limited by your plan's CPU/RAM instead of a counter» — very heavy parallel workloads need a bigger plan.
Choose n8n Cloud if …
- You want the manufacturer running your automation — support and product knowledge are unmatched.
- You need enterprise features from their higher tiers (SSO, environments, etc.).
- Your workflow volume is modest and 2,500 executions are plenty.
Choose ezhost if …
- Your workflows run often — heavy automations blow through execution quotas fast; a flat resource-based price is calmer.
- You want n8n plus a private LLM (Ollama) or other tools next to it, in one flat plan.
- You want your automation data in an instance you can export and move anytime.
