What is n8n?
n8n is an open-source, self-hostable workflow automation platform built for developers and technical teams.
You need a developer to set it up and keep it running
Self-hosting means you handle servers, updates, backups, and security
No AI. It does exactly what you tell it, nothing more.
If you're not technical, the learning curve is a wall
Why switch to Brevl?
No servers, no code, no config
Connect your tools and start. Nothing to host, install, or maintain.
Plain language, not programming
Describe what you need. Brevl figures out the how.
AI that actually thinks
Understands your data and makes decisions. Not just a rules engine you program.
Full control, zero ops
Approve every action. No servers to patch, no backups to run.
Creates real deliverables
Documents, reports, spreadsheets with export. Not data pipelines.
