n8n migration & Zapier alternative

Zapier to n8n Migration Service

Paying $300-600/month for Zapier or Make.com tasks you can barely audit? I migrate your workflows to self-hosted n8n — the open-source Zapier alternative — so you own your automations and cut the monthly bill to roughly $60. Fixed scope, tested handover, no lock-in.

What an n8n migration actually is

n8n is an open-source, self-hostable workflow automation tool — the most capable Zapier alternative for teams that have outgrown per-task pricing. Instead of renting automation seats and paying per execution, you run n8n on a small server you control and pay only for that server.

A migration means I rebuild your existing Zapier Zaps or Make.com scenarios as native n8n workflows: same triggers, same apps, same outcomes — running on infrastructure you own. You keep the automations working exactly as your business depends on them, minus the runaway invoice.

How the migration works

I work in fixed, transparent stages so you always know what is happening and what it costs before any rebuild starts.

  • Audit — I review every active Zap or scenario, map the triggers, apps and logic, and flag anything that needs to change (rate limits, auth, edge cases).
  • Provision — I stand up self-hosted n8n on your server or a low-cost VPS, with HTTPS, backups and credential storage configured properly.
  • Rebuild — each workflow is recreated natively in n8n, including branching, filters, data transforms and error handling that Zapier often hides.
  • Test — workflows run side-by-side against real data until output matches your current setup, then I cut over.
  • Handover — you get documentation, access, and a recorded walkthrough so your team can edit workflows without me.

Why teams move off Zapier and Make.com

The trigger is almost always the invoice. Zapier and Make.com price by task or operation, so the more your automations succeed, the more you pay — exactly the wrong incentive. Once you cross a few thousand tasks a month, self-hosted n8n is dramatically cheaper.

Beyond cost, n8n gives you things hosted tools cannot: raw HTTP requests, custom code steps, full control over your data and credentials, and no arbitrary limits on workflow complexity. Your automations stop being a black box you rent and become an asset you own.

Typical monthly saving

The cost-saving, in numbers

This is why clients call. Most arrive on a Zapier or Make.com plan between $300 and $600 a month. Self-hosted n8n runs the same workloads for the price of a small VPS.

SetupNow (Zapier / Make)After (self-hosted n8n)
Small team, ~10 workflows$300/mo~$20/mo VPS
Growing team, ~25 workflows$450/mo~$40/mo VPS
Heavy usage, 40+ workflows$600/mo~$60/mo VPS

Figures are typical client ranges, not a quote. The migration is a one-time fixed fee; the saving recurs every month after.

n8n migration FAQ

How much can I really save migrating from Zapier to n8n?

Most clients move from a $300-600/month Zapier or Make.com bill to a self-hosted n8n server costing roughly $20-60/month — an 80-90% recurring saving. The migration itself is a one-time fixed fee that typically pays for itself within a few months.

Will my automations break during the migration?

No. I rebuild each workflow in n8n and run it side-by-side against your live Zapier or Make setup using real data until the output matches. Only then do we cut over, so there is no gap in your automations.

Do I need technical staff to run n8n afterwards?

No. I provision and document everything, and hand over a recorded walkthrough so your team can edit workflows. If you would rather not touch the server at all, I offer optional ongoing maintenance.

Can you migrate from Make.com (Integromat), not just Zapier?

Yes. I convert Make.com scenarios to n8n workflows the same way as Zapier Zaps — mapping every module, route and filter to its native n8n equivalent and testing before cutover.

Where does the self-hosted n8n actually run?

On infrastructure you own — your existing server or a low-cost VPS I help you set up. You hold the credentials and the data, so there is no lock-in to me or to any SaaS vendor.

What does an n8n consultant engagement cost?

Migrations are quoted as a fixed scope after a short audit of your current Zaps or scenarios, so you know the price before any work starts. Share your current setup and I will send a quote within a day.

Stop renting your automations

Send me your current Zapier or Make.com setup and I will scope a fixed-price migration to self-hosted n8n — usually with a quote back within a day.
