Six flows running on rented SaaS, the bill creeping past $400/mo. Half the tasks fail without a word, and you only find out when someone complains.
They left. Nobody knows how the flows wire together. Every edit feels like surgery in the dark, so nothing gets touched and the workflow slowly rots.
Your contact form dropped leads for three weeks. You found out from a refund request, not a monitoring alert — because there was no monitoring alert.
Every workflow ships with a readable diagram and a Loom walkthrough, so an edit doesn't require summoning the original developer.
Scheduled runs, auto-retry on transient errors, and an alert the moment something actually needs a human — instead of finding out from a customer complaint.
Sub-workflows get reused across jobs instead of copy-pasted, so the second and third automation ship faster than the first.
Runs on your own server or n8n cloud account — a few dollars a month instead of a per-task SaaS bill, fully version-controlled in Git.
| n8n (what I build) | Zapier / Make | |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns it | Your account or your VPS. Git-versioned, exportable JSON — fork it, extend it, take it anywhere. | Locked inside their platform. Cancel the subscription and every Zap stops existing. |
| Running cost | A few dollars a month self-hosted, flat — no per-task metering. | Priced per task/run; the bill climbs as volume grows, often past $200-400/mo for a handful of active flows. |
| Failure handling | Error branches, auto-retry, and a Slack/email alert built into every flow by default. | Failures silently pause the Zap unless you've manually wired a separate error-handling Zap. |
| Complex logic | Native code nodes (JS/Python), loops, and branching for anything Zapier's linear model can't express. | Linear step model — multi-branch logic usually needs Make or a workaround, not native Zapier. |
| When it breaks | A readable copy of every workflow, plus a fix window after handoff. | A support ticket queue; the automation logic itself is opaque to anyone but the original builder. |

I map what's actually breaking or costing you — the rented flows, the silent failures, the manual workarounds — before proposing a single node.
Flows built in n8n with error branches and retry logic from the start, tested against real data before cutover.
A readable workflow diagram, a Loom walkthrough, and a fix window so an edge case in week one doesn't catch you alone.
Workflows shipped from a Canggu cafe since 2019, across 9 countries, with no monthly retainer required to keep them running.
A self-hosted n8n + GPT-4o email-triage pipeline (17 nodes, 6-week build) cut routine Gmail response time from hours to minutes and retired 4 separate paid tools into 1 stack.
One workflow, one trigger, one outcome.
Multi-system pipeline replacing a stack.
Retainer for live ops + iteration.
Scope gets locked in writing within 48 hours of your brief, so you know exactly what ships and what it costs before any money moves. Every flow ships with a post-launch fix window — if an edge case breaks in production, I fix it.
A free 30-minute check-up. I'll name the fixes that recover the most, sequenced biggest-first, with a fixed-scope plan back within 48 hours.

The per-state breakdown is being rewritten — it carried first-party performance figures we could not substantiate, so it is withheld rather than shipped unverified.
