EDITIONS
Choose the right n8n edition for your team size, security needs, and compliance requirements.
Here's who benefits most from each version.
Spin up quickly, automate freely, and learn fast. Community covers almost everything you need early on.
Start on Community to validate value; move to Enterprise once you need SSO, roles, approvals, and audit trails.
Choose Enterprise for identity integrations, governance, auditability, multi-environment control, and SLA-backed support. That combination is what security, legal, and ops teams expect in vendor reviews.
