Dynamiq vs n8n

DynamiqEnterprises in regulated industries that need chat, voice and workflow agents on one governed stack, deployed inside their own environment.

n8nTeams that want visual workflow automation across many apps and APIs, with AI agents, code and human steps in the same workflows, self-hosted or on n8n's cloud.

DynamiqDynamiq Cloud, or self-hosted on your AWS, Azure, GCP, IBM Cloud, Red Hat OpenShift or any Kubernetes 1.32+ cluster, or on-prem. Fully isolated or air-gapped setups are delivered with our engineers.

n8nn8n Cloud (Starter, Pro and Enterprise), or self-hosted: a free Community Edition, a self-hosted Business plan, and Enterprise hosted by n8n or self-hosted, including air-gapped on a private network, from a Helm chart or Compose file.

DynamiqYes. Self-hosted on your cloud or on-prem, or Dynamiq Cloud; both run the same engine.

n8nYes. The Community Edition self-hosts for free, and the paid Business and Enterprise plans add SSO, LDAP, Git version control and air-gapped deployment.

DynamiqThe Python SDK is open source under Apache-2.0 (github.com/dynamiq-ai/dynamiq), and the visual canvas runs on the same engine. The platform around it is not open source.

n8nSource-available under the Sustainable Use License (fair-code): use and modification are limited to internal business, non-commercial or personal purposes, and distribution is allowed only free of charge for non-commercial purposes; enterprise files are under a separate n8n Enterprise License.

Dynamiq29 model providers in the SDK, the most-used models behind one OpenAI-compatible AI Gateway endpoint, plus open models served on vLLM and LoRA fine-tuning.

n8nModel nodes for many providers with your own keys, plus Gateway credits (September 2026) on Cloud Starter and Pro for models such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google Gemini from one prepaid balance; no total provider count is published.

DynamiqChat, inbound voice and workflow agents on one engine. AI Coworker works with its own cloud sandbox computer, in the browser, Slack, Microsoft Teams and Telegram; Voice Agents answer inbound calls; Agent Builder runs workflow agents.

n8nWorkflows with AI Agent nodes, sub-agents and human steps, plus n8n Agents (in preview since September 2026) that people reach through chat, channels such as Slack, Telegram and Linear, or schedules, and Chat Hub for chat across models and agents. No voice agent product is described.

DynamiqAgent Builder pairs a visual canvas with the open-source Python SDK on one engine, with Choice and rules nodes, workflows generated from a prompt, and versions with rollback.

n8nA node-based canvas with JavaScript and Python code, an AI Workflow Builder that drafts workflows from a description, a REST API and CLI, JSON export, MCP as client and server, and Git version control on Business and Enterprise.

DynamiqGuardrails that detect PII and prompt injection, policy detection, validators and approvals with editable fields on any tool step, on every plan; SSO (OIDC with Okta and Microsoft Entra ID) on Enterprise.

n8nA Guardrails node that checks text for jailbreaks, PII, secret keys and off-topic content, human approval before an AI agent runs a chosen tool, RBAC on paid plans, and SSO over SAML or OIDC plus LDAP on Business and Enterprise.

DynamiqEvals with datasets built from traces, LLM-as-a-judge, predefined and code metrics, and real-time evaluations on live deployments; traces with cost and latency per node, monitoring, and an AI agent that surfaces issues from production traces.

n8nQuick evaluations during development and metric-based evaluations (such as correctness, helpfulness and tools used) in production, Insights dashboards, OpenTelemetry tracing with agent spans, and log streaming on Enterprise.

Dynamiq2,100+ app integrations and 11,800+ actions, plus MCP servers and per-user connections.

n8nIts integrations page lists more than 2,200 integrations, plus an HTTP Request node for any API, vector store nodes, data tables and a library of more than 10,000 workflow templates.
