Cyborg7 vs n8n
Stop wiring workflows. Start assigning work.
n8n is a powerful way to connect apps — you build the flow node by node, trigger by trigger. Cyborg7 gives you AI employees you simply hand a task to. They figure out the steps, do the work on a real computer, and bring it back — even when the job doesn't fit a fixed flowchart.

Credit where it's due
n8n is a superb automation platform.
One of the most loved workflow automation tools out there — and for good reason. We're not here to knock it. If you live in fixed, high-volume pipelines, it's excellent.
400+ integrations
Connect almost any app or API out of the box, no glue code.
Self-hostable & fair-code
Sustainable Use License — run the Community edition free on your own infra.
Visual, with code when needed
Drag-and-drop nodes, and drop into JavaScript or Python for the tricky parts.
AI Agent nodes
LangChain-powered AI steps you can build right into a workflow.
Build the machine, or brief a teammate
The same work, without building the machine.
n8n is a great way to wire fixed pipelines between apps. Cyborg7 hands that work to AI employees you brief in plain language — and adapts when the job doesn't fit a flowchart.
Delegate, don't diagram
Hand over the goal, not the flowchart.
Describe the outcome you want in plain language. A Cyborg7 AI employee figures out the steps itself — no nodes to wire, no triggers to map, no canvas to maintain.
- Assign work like you would to a teammate
- No node graph to build before anything runs
Handles the messy cases
It bends when reality doesn't fit the flow.
When an input is messy or a case you never planned for shows up, the AI employee reasons through it — instead of failing on a path you didn't pre-wire.
- Adapts to new cases without a new branch
- No 3am "workflow failed" when the data shifts
Real computer, real apps
It works on a machine, not just between APIs.
Cyborg7 employees open a terminal, run code, edit files, and drive the desktop apps on the computers you already own — not only pass JSON between API connectors.
- Terminal, files, and real desktop apps
- Do work that has no API at all
Flat price, no meter
One flat price. No execution meter ticking.
$12 per Cyborg per month, unlimited AI employees, on machines you already own. Nothing pauses the day you hit a monthly cap — a busy month costs the same.
- Unlimited runs, unlimited AI employees
- Costs don't spike when volume does
Same job, two approaches
"Summarize yesterday's support tickets and flag the angry ones."
Simple to say. Watch what each one asks of you to actually make it happen.

Head to head
Feature for feature.
Cyborg7n8n is fair-code (Sustainable Use License), not OSI open source. Its self-hosted Community edition is free (you host and maintain it); n8n Cloud is billed by monthly workflow executions — plans start around €20/$20 a month for a capped number of runs, with higher tiers and overage buckets above the cap. Figures move over time; verify on n8n.io/pricing before publishing.
The math
Automations you maintain, or a teammate you brief.
If you have well-defined, high-volume flows between apps, n8n is a great automation engine. If you want AI employees you can hand fuzzy, changing work to — on your own machines, at a flat price — that's Cyborg7.
Cyborg7
One person + their computer = one Cyborg, with unlimited AI employees across your whole team's work — on your own machines, no execution meter. Start free.
n8n (Cloud)
Node-based automation billed per execution — a capped number on the Starter plan, then more. Self-hosting is free, but you run and maintain it. Built for fixed pipelines, not fuzzy tasks.
