I have seen lately that the 'source available' N8N (which is excellent), has starting increasing pricing and restricting what you can get for your pricing.

In time, I can only assume this will get worse. Now, they deserve to get paid, and that's fine, but I had gone in thinking this was open source, but I see now it's not that at all.

This has led me to wonder if there's a true open source / self hosted alternative to N8N out there? Doing a bit of a hunt shows 'source available' alternatives, with a price point, and restrictions. I'm wondering if any team has tackled this in a truly open manner and if there's something out there?

Thanks so much

First thing I could think of is Automatisch. I use it for automations for one of my servers.

Thank you for that link. I guess my concern here is in the same way that N8N charges and changes what it charges for, this tool might end up in a cycle where it clamps down on what you can and can't do and I end up heavily restricted. This is what is happening with N8N, so I am a little bit concerned about tools like this.

Yeah that is a valid concern. I don't use it for critical stuff so I don't have to be as concerned but that is definitely something to be aware of!
