My recommendation is to start with n8n if you have any need for automation or integration, especially if you value control, cost predictability, and technical transparency.
n8n offers flexibility with self-hosting and integration with tools like Calendar and WATI, supporting over 200 pre-built integrations for effective workflow automation. While it provides low-code capabilities enhancing control, its complex implementation and need for API connectivity can challenge stability. Users may find connecting nodes difficult in complex environments, and the debugging process can be cumbersome. Additionally, n8n struggles with scalability for large-scale operations, impacting its suitability for high-throughput demands.
