n8n pricing: Cloud plans and cost per execution
n8n bills executions: one per workflow run, however many steps it has. Cloud Starter costs $24 a month ($20 billed yearly) for 2,500 executions.
"An execution is a single run of your entire workflow. It doesn't matter how many steps are in the workflow or how much data it processes. It's still a single execution."
Cloud plans
| Executions | Monthly billing | Per 1,000 | Yearly billing | Per 1,000 |

Above 50,000 executions a month n8n's options are the self-hosted Business licence, sold by execution volume, or the free Community Edition on your own server. n8n doesn't publish what happens when a Cloud plan runs over its executions.
