Hey @Sumon,

Good question!

From my experience, calling a subworkflow from a main workflow in n8n does not result in double billing.

Here’s why:

  • I’ve created several workflows where the main workflow calls one or more subworkflows.
  • These subworkflows are not set to active…they’re only triggered from within the main workflow.
  • Since only the main workflow is active and triggered externally, n8n treats it as a single execution.

So in short, you’ll only be billed for the main workflow execution, not for each subworkflow it calls.

Hope that clears it up!
