We are running a lot of executions per day, around 800 and about to reach the Pro limit, which is 10k, (I read in other forums that it was a 50k limit before) so we will reach the 10k limit before the month ends.
We were self-hosting before but we ran into:
Reasons to purchase n8n hosted
We could not share workflows and could not give admin permission on the self hosted n8n
Reason to have self hosted
Unlimited workflow executions
My question is, should we just run a few executions and share some projects in the n8n hosted and when the workflow is ready for production with deploy it in the self hosted version? Or is there any way to upgrade the workflow limit without breaking the bank?
Hi HrvojeMatosic! It sounds like a hybrid approach could work well for your needs. Use n8n hosted for testing and sharing workflows with your team, then deploy the finalized workflows to your self-hosted instance for unlimited executions. This way, you get the best of both worlds—collaboration and scalability. If you’re hitting execution limits, consider optimizing workflows to reduce unnecessary steps or executions. For more details on scaling, check out [n8npro.in](n8n Self-Hosted: Setup, Pros & Cons | A Deep Dive) for self-hosting tips.
Thanks for the answer, and thanks for the guide, we solved it but not in the best way, now running around 60k executions, so self hosted still the best option.
