AI agents and automation

Automation platforms are priced by the unit of work, and the units are not comparable. One vendor counts tasks, another counts executions, and Zapier's standalone Agents add-on meters activities instead. Self hosting changes where the meter lives: the free Community edition has none, and paid self-hosted editions still carry an execution-based license meter.

Face à face

L'article ci-dessous est publié en anglais. Chaque chiffre qu'il contient est le chiffre publié par l'éditeur lui-même, avec la date à laquelle nous l'avons lu.

What separates the tools here

The pricing unit is the axis nobody publishes a conversion for. A tool priced per task and a tool priced per execution use different accounting units, so a raw task allowance and a raw execution allowance are not directly comparable. Before comparing plan limits, check what each meter counts.

Self hosting changes the shape of the question rather than answering it: the free Community edition carries no meter, while paid self-hosted editions still meter executions through the license.

What we publish here

One full review, for now: n8n answers the cloud-versus-self-host buying question, and each tool profile carries the same figures with the same dates.
