Assumptions
- n8n Cloud prices come only from the Vetted SaaS Price Index entry for n8n, read from the page n8n serves in Germany (EUR). n8n shows US visitors dollar prices; we never convert one into the other.
- Plans n8n lists as self-hosted only are left out of the Cloud quote.
- The self-hosting figure is server cost + maintenance hours × your hourly value, exactly as you entered them.
