About n8n
n8n is a workflow automation platform that lets you connect apps, APIs, and databases to build automated workflows without heavy custom coding. Available as both open‑source software (self‑hosted) and a fully managed cloud service (n8n Cloud), it’s used by developers, operations teams, and businesses to automate tasks such as data syncing, lead routing, notifications, and internal processes. The company is based in Berlin, Germany, and offers integrations with hundreds of popular tools (CRMs, messaging apps, databases, and more), plus the ability to call any API.
A charge from n8n will usually relate to a subscription for n8n Cloud, which is billed on a recurring basis (typically monthly or annually), or to a usage‑based or team upgrade within an existing account. You might also see a charge after moving from a free trial or free tier to a paid plan, adding extra resources (like more workflows or higher limits), or switching billing frequency. In some cases, a small temporary authorization may appear when you add or update your payment method; this is a verification hold from n8n’s payment processor and should disappear automatically.
To verify an n8n charge, first log in at app.n8n.cloud (or via n8n.io) and check your “Billing” or “Subscription” section for invoices and plan details that match the date and amount on your bank or card statement. Look for descriptors like “N8N”, “N8N CLOUD”, or similar in your statement. If you still have questions, contact n8n support through their help center or the contact form on n8n.io, providing the last 4 digits of your card, the exact charge amount, currency, and date (but never your full card number). Common issues—such as being billed after a trial, duplicate workspaces, or not recognizing a team member’s subscription—are usually resolved by reviewing your active workspaces, cancelling unused ones, and requesting adjustments or refunds through support when appropriate.
