Managed n8n
Keeping the server up is the easy half. This is the half where somebody owns the workflows too.
Two layers, not one
Most managed n8n offers manage the server. They keep the container running, and that is where it ends. Then the Friday invoice workflow fails quietly, and it is still your problem on Monday.
We cover both layers:
| Layer | What we own |
|---|---|
| The infrastructure | Setup, upgrades, backups, certificates, uptime monitoring, scaling |
| The workflows | Failure alerts and recovery, retries, credential rotation, fixing what breaks, building what comes next |
A green server with failing workflows is not working. That distinction is the whole service.
What is included
- Your own instance, on our infrastructure or on yours. Your choice, no lock-in either way.
- Monitoring that watches the runs, not only whether the machine is switched on.
- Workflows built properly. Steps that are safe to run twice, sensible retries, and a branch for what happens when something fails. (What that looks like in practice.)
- AI employees where judgment is needed. The messy input, the exception, the thing that needs deciding, handled by an agent that then calls your workflow (how the two fit together).
- Custom connectors. No node for your ERP or your industry tool? We write one.
- A person, not a ticket queue. Reachable on WhatsApp or Slack.
Who this is for
- Teams already running n8n who are tired of being their own ops department. (Self-hosting looks free until you count the hours.)
- Businesses that want the automation without hiring an automation engineer.
- Agencies and IT providers who want to offer reliable automation without building the practice from scratch.
Who this is not for
If you have technical people with time genuinely set aside for this, plain n8n may be all you need, self-hosted or on official n8n Cloud. We compared the options honestly in n8n vs Zapier vs Make and n8n and Oido together.
What it costs
A fixed monthly fee, set by the size of your instance, how many workflows we look after, and how much support you want. Deliberately not per execution, so your bill does not punish you for growing.

FAQ
What is the difference between managed hosting and managed n8n?
Managed hosting keeps the server running. If your invoice workflow quietly stopped on Friday night, the server is still green and the problem is still yours. Managed n8n means we watch whether your workflows actually ran, and fix them when they did not.
Where does it run?
Your own instance, either on our infrastructure or on your servers and cloud account. Either way you keep ownership and can take it with you.
What happens when something fails at three in the morning?
Our monitoring sees the failed run and we deal with it, usually before you know it happened. You are not the first line of support for your own automation.
Do you build the workflows too, or only run them?
Both, if you want. We design and build them properly, with retries, error branches and steps that are safe to run twice, and we build custom connectors when no node exists for your system.
How is it priced?
A fixed monthly fee based on the size of your instance, how many workflows we look after and how much support you want. Not per execution, so a busy month does not produce a surprise bill.
Who should not buy this?
If you have technical people with real time set aside for it, plain n8n, self-hosted or on official n8n Cloud, may be all you need. We will tell you that rather than sell you this.
