How n8n Replaces 7 SaaS Tools With One Automation Layer
Introduction
Businesses use many SaaS applications to manage sales, marketing, customer service (CRM), and other tasks. Managing too many different applications at once results in overusage, higher costs, and inefficient processes for many companies.
N8N offers an affordable solution with a single scalable automation platform, allowing users complete control, flexibility, and the ability to connect to an infinite number of apps. N8N is the only solution that combines the features of seven or more SaaS applications into one unified platform.
What Makes n8n So Powerful?
n8n is an automation platform that is open source and is able to connect apps, initiate workflows, handle data, and remove manual work. The most attractive feature? Either you can run it on your own server or make use of its cloud version, which means that it is a lot less expensive and more adaptable than buying SaaS subscriptions.
n8n allows companies to merge data, carry out operations that require multiple steps without intervention, and have their input and output handled by tools like Slack, Stripe, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, as well as by hundreds of other tools — all without the need for coding.
