Managed n8n hosting · Unlimited executions n8n does the busywork We run the server

Self-hosting usually means renting a VPS at roughly US$5–10 a month (about NT$160–320), so NT$2,000–4,000 a year in server fees. But you also install Docker, set up the domain and SSL, handle version upgrades and back up your data — that maintenance time is the real hidden cost. Managed n8n on RoamerHost is NT$5,988 a year (avg. NT$499/mo) and already includes automated deployment, built-in SSL, automatic backups and updates. If you enjoy tinkering with servers and your traffic is heavy, self-hosting still pays off. If you would rather spend your time designing workflows, managed is the easier road.

No. After payment you click Deploy in the dashboard, and within 60 seconds you have an isolated n8n container with its own HTTPS subdomain and SSL certificate already configured. The first time you open n8n you create your own admin login, then start building, with no server, Docker or reverse proxy to touch. Self-hosting means renting a VPS, installing Docker, pulling the n8n image and setting up the domain, reverse proxy and SSL yourself; the first setup usually takes 2–5 hours, and every upgrade and backup after that is on you.

The n8n community edition is free to download and run. But keeping workflows running around the clock and letting outside services reach your webhooks takes a server that never sleeps, with a fixed address and SSL, plus someone to update and back it up. That part is what hosting pays for. Managed n8n on RoamerHost is NT$5,988/yr (avg. NT$499/mo), with the server, SSL, updates and automatic backups included and no charge per execution.

No lock-in. n8n workflows export straight to JSON, and you manage credentials and variables yourself in the admin, so you can move to any self-hosted or third-party n8n whenever you want. RoamerHost runs the standard open-source n8n — no proprietary format, no lock-in.

Yes. n8n talks to the LINE Messaging API through its webhook and HTTP nodes, and it also connects to Telegram, Discord, Slack, Google Sheets and 400-plus other services. An incoming LINE message can trigger a workflow, and a workflow can push LINE notifications out.

n8n Cloud is the official SaaS, billed by execution: the entry plan covers about 2,500 runs a month and starts around NT$700. RoamerHost gives you a complete, isolated n8n environment with no cap on executions or workflows, your data in your own container, and community nodes you can install. The more workflows you add and the more often they fire, the wider the gap.

One click in the dashboard. Billing and service stop at the end of the current term — no cancellation fee; fees already paid for the current term are not refunded. After expiry the instance is paused and your data is kept for 3 months, so renewing within that window brings everything back as it was. Export your workflows to JSON before you cancel and take them anywhere.

Yes. Every project is a full n8n environment, so you can install community-built nodes from the n8n settings.

Yes. Every n8n project gets its own HTTPS subdomain, and outside services can call the webhook URL directly.

Yes. Managed n8n includes automatic backups, and your workflows, credentials and execution logs live on a dedicated persistent volume, so nothing is lost when the container restarts. For important workflows, export a JSON copy now and then too; it is the easiest way to move or roll back to an earlier version.

The public plan is billed yearly: NT$5,988/yr (avg. NT$499/mo), with 1 dedicated vCPU, unlimited executions and workflows, and no setup fee or add-ons. You pay by recurring credit card charge once a year and can cancel renewal from the dashboard anytime. Still evaluating? Request a free trial first.

In your own n8n instance: each instance is an isolated Docker container on its own network, never shared with other customers. Service credentials are stored encrypted inside your instance and all connections use HTTPS; the data your workflows process stays in your instance instead of passing through a third-party automation platform.

Yes. At checkout, choose "Company invoice" under E-invoice and enter your company name and Taiwan Tax ID (Unified Business Number) to receive a triplicate company invoice; individuals can choose "Personal receipt".

Most workflows are built by dragging nodes together, no code required. When a service has no ready-made node you'll need to read its API docs and build the call with the HTTP Request node, which takes a little technical patience. n8n subscribers can also connect their n8n to Roamer AI in the dashboard and ask it in plain language to build or change workflows, or to read the execution log, find the failing node and fix it; credentials such as account passwords are still set by you inside n8n.

Yes. AI Agent is a built-in n8n node, so there is nothing extra to install. A regular workflow is "when A happens, do B", with every step drawn in advance; an AI agent gets a goal and some tools and decides for itself what to look up first and what to do next. Use OpenAI, Claude or Gemini as the model (with your own API key), and give it tools such as HTTP Request, Google Sheets or your existing workflows. The most common use is a support assistant: a customer asks about an order, and the agent checks the order system and the carrier before replying. With the n8n AI Agent guide in our Support Center, your first agent takes about 30–45 minutes.

Hosting already covers the server, SSL, updates and automatic backups, with no charge per execution. Beyond that you pay for the outside services you connect, most often AI model usage: OpenAI, Claude and Gemini all bill by token, and you pay the provider directly, not through RoamerHost. Every time an agent decides whether to use a tool is another model call, so one question can mean three to five rounds. With each provider's lightweight models, a few hundred conversations a month comes to roughly NT$50–150; flagship models cost about ten times more, so get the workflow working on a small model first.

It comes down to volume, and whether your data may pass through a third-party platform. Zapier bills by task and Make by operation, so a workflow like "form submitted, look up data, decide, send a LINE message, write to the sheet" uses four or five billable units on every run, and the bill grows with volume. n8n is billed per instance: one run or a hundred thousand costs the same, and the data your workflows process stays in your own instance instead of passing through a third-party automation platform. Zapier's strengths are the largest catalog of ready-made integrations and no server to think about; if you only run a few workflows a month on mainstream apps, its free or low-cost plans are enough. With many workflows, customer personal data, or a need for Taiwan invoices for company expenses, managed n8n is the better fit.

From self-hosted n8n: export your workflows as JSON, import them into the new instance, then reconnect each service's credentials. From Zapier: workflows can't be imported directly and need to be rebuilt in n8n — a good chance to drop the compromises you made because Zapier bills per step. See "Zapier to n8n" in the Support Center for the recommended order.

Start with the dashboard: you can restart or rebuild the instance yourself, and a restart fixes most connection problems.
