Frequently Asked Questions
Why is self-hosted n8n via Artomation a better alternative to Make.com?
Make.com bills on an escalating per-operation pricing model that becomes prohibitively expensive at scale. Artomation deploys dedicated, self-hosted n8n enterprise instances with zero per-operation charges, private VPC data security, and full custom JavaScript/Python execution.
How much can businesses save moving from Make.com to Artomation n8n?
Companies running 500,000 to 5,000,000 operations per month pay $500 to $3,000+/month on Make.com. A self-hosted n8n server on AWS or Hetzner costs $40 to $120/month total infrastructure, saving 85% to 95% in recurring SaaS fees.
Is self-hosted n8n more secure for sensitive business and customer data?
Yes. With Make.com, all your customer and financial payloads pass through third-party multi-tenant cloud servers. Self-hosted n8n runs inside your own VPC, ensuring zero data leakage and 100% GDPR, HIPAA, and Indian DPDP compliance.
Can Artomation migrate our existing Make.com scenarios?
Yes. Artomation audits your existing Make.com scenarios, re-engineers them into hardened, fault-tolerant n8n workflows with self-healing AI error loops, and migrates them with zero downtime.
