Execution caps
Cloud plans top out well before a busy agency workload does, and overage is expensive. Here, executions are unlimited and never metered.
Keep the n8n you know. Drop the execution caps, pick your data region, put your instances on your own domains, and get a human on support for your infrastructure. Migration is free and managed.
Almost always one of three reasons — and each one has a direct answer here.
Cloud plans top out well before a busy agency workload does, and overage is expensive. Here, executions are unlimited and never metered.
On Cloud, the bill climbs as your automations succeed. Here, pricing is flat — you size the instance, not the invoice.
Cloud runs in a single EU region. Here you choose US or EU when your instance is provisioned.
The same comparison used on our full comparison page, focused on the Cloud column. Every cell pairs a word with an icon, so meaning never depends on colour.
| Outcome | n8nhosting.cloud | n8n Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly executions | Unlimited | Capped (2.5k–40k by plan) |
| Cost as volume grows | Flat monthly | Flat + overage buckets at scale |
| Data region | US or EU, your choice | EU (Frankfurt) only |
| Custom domain | Yes, per instance | Limited |
| Community / custom nodes | Yes (with guardrails) | Restricted |
| Dedicated resources | Single-tenant instance | Shared |
| Multi-instance agency dashboard | Yes | No |
| Free managed migration | Yes | N/A |
| Human support | For infrastructure, agency-aware, tiered | Official support |
| Best for | Agencies & production teams | Non-technical, low volume |
This isn't a different product. It's the same open-source n8n, the same editor, the same nodes and the same workflows — running on infrastructure we manage instead of infrastructure you rent or n8n runs for everyone.
Your workflows move across as JSON. Your integrations reconnect. The way you build doesn't change.
Managed end to end. Most of the steps are ours.
We review your Cloud setup and agree a plan and a date.
Export from Cloud as JSON, import into your dedicated instance.
Test executions until the new instance matches the old one.
DNS and webhooks switch over, with 48 hours of monitored hypercare.
If you're non-technical and your volume is low, n8n Cloud is the right call. It's the official product, there's nothing to manage, and the execution limits won't get in your way. Managed hosting earns its keep once automations are client-facing or revenue-critical, or once the caps and the bill start to bite.
Yes. It is the same n8n. Workflows move across as JSON and run the same way; we verify parity with test executions before cutover.
It depends on your volume. Pricing here is flat and executions are unlimited, so as your automation volume grows the managed plan often costs less than Cloud with overages.
Yes. You choose US or EU when your instance is provisioned. n8n Cloud runs in a single EU region.
A standard move is free, including every client instance an agency brings. Only complex, multi-system migrations are quoted, and you approve the price first.
No. Every plan is a paid plan with a 30-day money-back guarantee instead - that is how you try it without risk.
Book a call and we'll map the move from your Cloud plan — free, managed, with your old setup kept as a fallback.
