May need a special network

Open-source workflows. The official cloud usually needs a special network. The software can run on your own server.

Note

n8n chains steps into a workflow. The official site is n8n.io. The cloud service is usually outside direct reach from the mainland. It is open-source software and can run on your own server. That is a different path. This list does not write install steps. To have a working agent in China first, still start with Coze.

Price

The cloud has paid tiers. Self-hosting is not billed at their cloud price. Amounts are whatever n8n.io shows.

Chinese

The interface is mainly in English.

In mainland China

May need a special network

The n8n.io cloud usually needs a special network. Self-hosting is a way to use the software itself. It is not this list explaining how to change a network.
