n8n
Based on public pricing signals, xpay verified that n8n publishes monthly USD prices on Starter ($20), Pro ($50), Business ($800), with execution-bucket counts and a published Business overage rate of EUR 4,000 per 300k executions. Free trial and self-hostable Community Edition lower entry friction. xpay could not locate /.well-known/ai-pricing.json or an anonymous one-shot agent purchase path.

Observational summary written by xpay from the signals captured on 2026-05-03. Not a review of the product — only of its current pricing posture for agent buyers.- Pricing is publicly visible on an indexable page — agents can read tiers without scraping past auth.
- API documentation is reachable without a login — discovery and integration can happen in one session.
- A free tier exists, lowering the bar for an agent builder to prototype before committing budget.
- No per-unit price was advertised, so an agent has no way to estimate the cost of a single task.
- Some tiers are sales-led; the highest-capacity surfaces are not self-serve.
- PPU requires account creation and an issued API key; a fully unauthenticated agent purchase is not yet supported.
- No /.well-known/ai-pricing.json or equivalent machine-readable pricing manifest is published — agents must rely on HTML scraping.
- A unit price is published but consumption per task is not declared upfront — cost predictability is partial.
How n8n could lift its score
n8n is already Verified at 80. To reach 100: publish /.well-known/ai-pricing.json; expose a per-execution PPU rate at all tiers (not just Business); enable anonymous x402 single-execution purchase.
