Why we said Watch
What it is
A workflow tool with AI nodes. Source-available, not OSI open source. See the official page. This profile describes public documentation, not a Loaded Tokens hands-on test.
Who it is for
Teams automating internal work who have read the Sustainable Use License. The recommendation is scoped to that job.
The evidence behind Watch
n8n’s own docs say the license is not open source under the OSI definition. Internal use is the allowed path. The source page is the receipt. No speed ranking or reliability score is implied.
Pricing and the catch
Starter is 20 euros a month billed annually. Pro is 50 euros. The community edition is free for your own internal use. Public pricing or license checked November 7, 2026. Amounts are as stated on that page. Tax, region, annual billing, and extra usage can change the bill.
A sensible first workflow
Build one internal workflow that does not send customer data anywhere you have not named. This is a suggested evaluation, not a test we ran.
Bottom line: Watch. Do not offer it as a service for others without a commercial agreement.
