Prices checked Oct 19, 2026
-
Oracle Cloud Always Free
The free option r/n8n users mention most. Expect a harder signup and capacity limits.
-
Render Hobby
$0/mo plus compute (source). Free services may sleep when idle.
-
Your own computer with Docker
Fine for testing. Webhooks need a tunnel such as ngrok.
-
n8n Cloud trial
No credit card needed. Includes 1,000 executions (source).
Whichever you choose, back up your ~/.n8n data folder.
