n8n alternative without your own server: nana800 vs n8n
nana800 is an n8n alternative without your own server: you build schemes from blocks in the browser, they run in the nana800 cloud, and you pay per block run. n8n itself can be self-hosted for free, while n8n Cloud, according to the company, stopped accepting new customers and payments from Russia in March 2022. nana800 starts free: your balance is topped up to $3.50 every month, no card needed.

| Free start | Your balance is topped up to $3.50 every month, about 3,500 runs of basic blocks. No card needed | Self-hosting without a license key is free, you pay for the server. Cloud has a trial with 1,000 executions and no card, but no free cloud plan |
| Paid plan | No subscription: $1 per 1,000 runs of basic blocks, service and AI blocks cost more | Cloud Starter: €20 per month billed annually, 2,500 workflow executions a month. Monthly billing exists, annual saves 17% |
| What you pay for | Every block run, the trigger included, plus $0.0042 per hour while a scheme is on. Button, condition, custom code and webhook reply are free | Each workflow execution as a whole, however many steps it has |
| Payment from Russia | In rubles, from your internal nana800 balance | Since March 2022 n8n Cloud does not accept new customers or payments from Russia and Belarus (n8n blog, March 10, 2022). Self-hosting is not affected |
| Integrations | 70+ ready blocks, plus a webhook and an HTTP request to any API | 2,000+ integrations in the catalog, plus the HTTP Request node for any API |
| Russian services | Ready blocks for amoCRM, Bitrix24, YooKassa, T-Bank, Wildberries, Ozon, VK, YandexGPT and Yandex Metrica | Telegram is there. For Bitrix24 the n8n catalog suggests the HTTP Request node with manual API setup |

| Custom code | JavaScript or TypeScript in the run custom script block, its runs are free | Code node in JavaScript or Python. On Cloud, Python cannot import libraries |
| Maintenance | Servers and updates are handled by nana800 | n8n runs the Cloud. A self-hosted install is set up with Docker, and you configure the database, users and security yourself |
| Language | Site in English and Russian, block guides in Russian, block names in English | Interface in English by default |
When to choose nana800
- You want a hosted service with no server, Docker or updates to look after
- You prefer to pay as you go from a balance, with no subscription
- You need ready blocks for amoCRM, Bitrix24, YooKassa, Wildberries, Ozon or YandexGPT instead of manual API setup
- You have a few schemes or they run rarely: the free $3.50 balance each month may cover tests and small tasks
- You may need your own server later: a version of nana800 for it is available on request
When n8n fits better
- You have a server and someone to maintain it: the Community edition is free for internal business use and personal projects
- You need an app from the n8n catalog of 2,000+ integrations that has no ready block in nana800
- Your workflows are long, with dozens of steps: n8n bills per workflow execution, while nana800 bills every block
- You want full control of the install: the n8n source code is on GitHub, and self-hosted Python in the Code node can import modules

Frequently asked questions
Since March 7, 2022 n8n Cloud does not accept new customers or payments from Russia and Belarus, as n8n wrote on its blog on March 10, 2022. This does not stop you from self-hosting n8n: the company kept access to the source code open. nana800 runs in the cloud and is paid in rubles in Russia.
Yes, if you host it yourself. Without a license key n8n runs as the free Community edition under the Sustainable Use License, which allows internal business use and personal projects. You pay for the server and the time to maintain it. The Cloud Starter plan costs €20 per month billed annually.
nana800 has no subscription: 1,000 runs of basic blocks cost $1, service and AI blocks cost more, and an enabled scheme costs $0.0042 per hour. Your balance is topped up to $3.50 for free every month. A scheme kept on around the clock spends most of that on hours. n8n bills each workflow execution as a whole, so long workflows can be cheaper there.
No. You build schemes in the browser and they run in the nana800 cloud: webhooks, schedules and bots work without your own infrastructure. If your data has to stay with you, ask the team for a version of nana800 for your own server.
Connect it with the HTTP request block to its API, or receive its data with a webhook. You need a key or token of the service and its API docs. n8n has more ready integrations, so if a service exists only there and you do not want to set up an API by hand, n8n may suit you better.
