n8n Cloud Starter is $24/mo ($20/mo annual) for 2,500 executions; Pro is $60/mo for 10,000. A Contabo VPS renews at $6.60/mo with unlimited executions — about $209/yr cheaper than Starter, before your own time.
Choose Cloud if you don’t want to patch servers or handle backups. Self-host if you run many executions, need data control, or want community nodes. Run your own numbers →
