Hi there,
We have a business license and as we were creating projects it said that we were capped at 6. However, there was no mention of this and that makes me think maybe because this is a new license tier it was just not considered? Could we remove this limitation?
Thanks
Hey @dispatchjon hope all is well. Welcome to the community.
The business license is in fact capped at 6 shared projects, which is clearly indicated on the license summary page here:
@jabbson thanks, however when we purchased the license it was not yet on the website and nothing was communicated to us about this limitation (even in the contract). Are there at least tiers of project count that can be incorporated or something?
Hi @jabbson,
We recently moved to the Self-hosted Business plan and only after that realized there’s a hard cap of 6 Shared Projects. We’re now running into this limitation in practice.
From our experience, the 6-project cap feels misaligned with how teams adopt n8n at scale and ends up discouraging usage:
We fully understand charging more for consumption (workflow executions) or for governance-critical features like long-retention logs or enterprise support. That pricing logic makes sense.
But a low cap on Projects blocks legitimate organizational use cases. In our case, we’ve had to postpone some uses because the project slots are “too precious” to spend, and per-user sharing creates overhead for access management.
For example, we’d like to provide a shared sub-workflow for RAG so any team can build on it. RAG is a broad, horizontal use case; if we could place that safely in a widely accessible Project, we expect more teams would build on n8n and increase executions. That would ultimately translate into higher usage and, over time, higher spend.
In short: the 6 Projects cap is counter-productive. Relaxing—or removing—it would increase adoption and likely drive more workflow executions and upgrades in the long run.
Thanks for considering!
Hi there,
@jabbson is just a community member like you. So he has no power over the projects cap.
If you are using n8n at that scale where 6 projects isnt enough you will need to get an enterprise license. There is no limit on the amount of projects then.
In my opinion 6 projects is a lot, of course it would depend on how you are using them. But I cannot see why it wouldnt be enough.
In the meantime @jabbson be like:
