Who n8n competes with, and how they differ.
Visual no-code/low-code automation platform (formerly Integromat) competing head-to-head with n8n on complex multi-step workflow building; Make is fully cloud-hosted SaaS with a similar node-based canvas, while n8n additionally offers self-hosted/open-source deployment.
