Thanks👍 any idea how to use these automate pltaform like Zappier, Make, and this to create SAAS like project...i also it will be helpful if you mention uses cases as with Wbflow and Bubble I understand but with these automate platform i need to look more

[@buildwithvince]

Hey Jay, thanks for the comment! Yes entire Saas built by devs sometimes use n8n. I've also seen Saas products using mainly Make too in the backend.
It really depends on what you're trying to build.
You could for example use just a form, get some information from your user, let's say their legal needs. Have on n8n or Make the whole logic, based on answers to get the right legal template, add the right info in the template, export as pdf, then return and send via email the created legal 50 pages PDF document for that user based on that initial information provided.
What the user sees is a website, with forms about their legal needs and requesting the pdf. Then receiving the file via email or within the next page for example. That's basically Saas.

only n8n can be hosted on a server ?

[@buildwithvince]

Of the three, yep!

thank you for the information. Please stop hitting your microphone or table or get a pop blocker or something.

Too expensive like Zapier

[@buildwithvince]

if you self-host it, it'll be $7/month for the servers which would cost the equivalent of 50X the price in Zapier
