Figures checked 30 August 2026 · we build Tenvik, so check them yourself
n8n is the workflow engine underneath a lot of DIY agency setups and underneath Tenvik itself — Tenvik runs real n8n on the customer's own infrastructure rather than replacing it. The comparison here isn't Tenvik vs the open-source engine; it's Tenvik vs n8n's own paid paths to running multiple clients: n8n Business (€667/mo, capped at 6 projects) and embed licensing (unpublished) for anyone building a branded control plane on top of it.
Both of n8n's paid multi-client routes assume you build the agency layer yourself — client management, billing, white-label, template rollout — on top of a licensed engine. Tenvik packages that layer: white-label, credential vault and template propagation from the $39/mo tier, with a published price instead of a licensing quote. n8n's Expert Partner Program, the closest thing to an official agency path, was a closed pilot with a waiting list when last checked (2026-08-27).
n8n figures (Business €667/mo capped at 6 projects, Cloud €20/€50, partner-program status) are from a live check dated 2026-08-27; Tenvik figures are current as of 2026-08-30. n8n's terms change — check them yourself before building a client offer.
When last checked (2026-08-27) the Expert Partner Program was a closed pilot with a waiting list, not accepting applicants. The open path was a 30% cloud-referral affiliate programme.
n8n Business is capped at 6 projects for €667/mo. Beyond that you need a custom embed licensing agreement.
n8n does not publish a fixed embed price — exact figures require a sales conversation.
