Hi @Mugdha.T

n8n isn’t fully free on Cloud after the trial, but I can use it permanently for free by self-hosting. Running it via Docker or npm on my own server gives full access without a license. The license applies mainly to n8n Cloud or enterprise features.

Hi @Mugdha.T Ofc n8n cloud cannot be free, so you need to use a VPS or self hosted n8n basically, and so for that if you have a home server you can run n8n there with docker/npm , but you still need to pay for tunneling as there are limits to that which are low depending on your n8n usage, so go on:

Find an old laptop (which works)
install linux on it so it is a little fast
run npm version of n8n there (easy to setup)
connect that to a Ngrok tunnel
KaBOOM! Free Forever n8n.

Here is the catch you will have a license key which is free and limited as it is a community license the features would be less ofc but that would really not stop you from building workflows so go ahead and follow that plan.
