n8n Cloud Starter vs Self-Hosted: Executions, Credits, Price

n8n source is available to self-host. You then own upgrades, TLS, backups, and whatever queue you put in front of it. Cloud Starter is n8n running that for you on the Starter quotas.

Cloud Starter inclusions

• 2,500 workflow executions per month, billed per run rather than per step.
• 1 shared project, 5 concurrent executions, unlimited users and active workflows.
• 2,300 AI Assistant credits per month (preview; unused credits do not roll over).
• Hosted by n8n, forum support, 7-day execution log retention.

Retail comparison is $240. PerkShelf 1-year Starter voucher is $24.99.

Redeem

Open app.n8n.cloud/account/change-plan. Select Starter Plan Annual. Apply the voucher. Confirm $0 due.

If you need more executions than 2,500/month, Starter is the wrong row. PerkShelf is not selling a higher n8n Cloud tier in this catalog. Product: n8n Cloud Starter.
