I’m self hosting n8n via Render. Trying to add one of my team but it says I need to upgrade.
The upgrading is a little confusing, the link takes me to the usual pricing (hosted) so 20p/m with unlimited users but then you are throttled on active flows.
The pricing on the self-hosting jumps to 400 p/m for access to have users.
It doesn’t make much sense, i know most of the n8n users I know have the same sort of questions as they tried to add their team as well.
If you need dedicated user accounts for each team member, the Cloud option is the best choice — it supports individual logins and access control.
However, if your team is fine with sharing a single login, the Self-hosted option can help you save on costs while still getting the core functionality.
