Which one fits your team

Choose n8n if

Most of your work is moving data between apps, and AI is one step among many.
You want to self-host and own the infrastructure.
You need one of n8n's hundreds of ready-made app integrations.

Choose 2pm.space if

Your agent talks to customers, and your team needs an inbox to watch and take over those conversations.
You want the agent's knowledge — documents, tables, mind maps — in the same workspace.
You want models billed from one credit, not provider keys per workflow.

Frequently asked questions

For AI agents that talk to customers, yes. For general app-to-app automation with hundreds of connectors, n8n covers far more; the two can also work together — 2pm.space agents can call n8n through its MCP preset or a webhook.

n8n's Community Edition can be self-hosted under its Sustainable Use licence. 2pm.space is hosted only.

2pm.space does: every channel's conversations are in one inbox, with Pause AI per thread. n8n workflows can send messages but have no inbox of their own.

n8n Cloud is priced by plan and workflow executions; self-hosting is free. 2pm.space has no plans — you pay for AI usage only.
