# NocodeAssistant: n8n Development Agency **URL:** https://www.nocodeassistant.agency/n8n-agency/ **Rating:** 4.9/5 on G2 (9 reviews) NocodeAssistant is a specialist n8n agency for small and mid-sized businesses. We build self-hosted n8n automations and AI agent workflows, fixed scope and fixed price, live in weeks. You own the exported JSON, the credentials, and the documentation from day one. No per-task fees, ever. The first call is not a pitch. You leave knowing whether what you need is an AI agent, three well-scoped n8n workflows, or an afternoon of cleanup on what you already have. If the cheap answer is the right one, we say so. ## What is n8n? n8n is a workflow automation tool you can self-host. It is the backend: "when this happens, do that, and let an AI decide the messy parts." Buyers pick it over Zapier or Make for one of three reasons, and all three are correct: no per-task billing, self-hosting so data does not transit a third party, and native handling of AI steps where an LLM reads something and makes a judgment call instead of just moving data between two apps. Where it gets expensive is later, when nobody on your team knows how to build the thing you picked n8n for. That is the problem we get hired to fix. ## n8n services we offer - **Workflow automation** — Quote generation, invoice matching, lead routing, the report someone rebuilds by hand every Friday. Built with real error workflows and retry logic, not a happy-path demo that breaks the first time an API times out. - **AI agent workflows** — The work that separates an n8n agency from an n8n consultant. A support-triage agent, for example: an LLM node classifies intent, a vector lookup pulls the right policy, a human-approval node holds anything under a confidence threshold, and only the provable answers go out untouched. Every step is a node you can open and read. - **Zapier and Make migrations** — We map every zap or scenario, rebuild it with proper error handling, and run both systems in parallel until you trust the new one. - **Picking up someone else's mess** — Inherited an n8n instance only one contractor understood? We audit what is there, tell you honestly what is salvageable, and get it back to something your team can run. - **The front end nobody else builds** — A WeWeb, Bubble, or Retool dashboard on top of the n8n backend: an approval queue, an override button, a place to see what is queued. Built by the same people who built the automation, so the two halves are never out of sync. ## Why n8n instead of Zapier or Make Both platforms bill you for volume. Zapier counts every successful action as a task, so a five-step Zap running once burns five tasks (about $30/month for 750 tasks, roughly $49 and up around 2,000, with overage billed at 1.25x). Make counts credits, roughly one per module run (about $9/month for 10,000 credits, climbing fast once AI or code modules enter the workflow). Self-hosted n8n is a flat hosting cost: a workflow running 50,000 times a month costs what it cost running 500. (Pricing pulled July 2026; both platforms restructure periodically, so treat it as directional.) ## Self-hosting and security Self-hosted means your data never leaves infrastructure you control. We deploy on a small VPS (DigitalOcean or your own cloud account) behind HTTPS, with credentials stored in n8n's encrypted vault, not pasted into a node in plain text. API keys are scoped to what each workflow actually needs, not a shared master key. Data residency is whatever you choose: US-only, EU-only, or your own VPC if compliance requires it. Nothing routes through a third party by default, because there isn't a third party. ## Pricing Every tier is a fixed price, quoted after a workflow audit. No per-task fees, no hourly meter running while you wait. - **Single workflow, self-hosted — $3,000 to $5,000 fixed.** One process automated end to end in n8n, with real error handling. Live in 2 to 3 weeks. - **AI agent workflow — $5,000 to $10,000 fixed.** Multi-step agent across your tools (CRM, inbox, docs), including the evaluation and red-team testing below. 4 to 8 weeks. - **n8n backend + WeWeb/Bubble/Retool front end — $12,000 to $30,000 fixed.** The full system: automation plus the dashboard your team uses to run it. 8 to 12 weeks. - **Zapier/Make to n8n migration — typically $3,000 to $15,000,** scoped after a workflow audit. Every zap or scenario mapped, rebuilt with error handling, run in parallel until it is trusted. An optional care and improvement retainer ($750 to $2,500 per month) covers monitoring, fixes, and a quarterly re-run of our attack suite against any AI steps once something is live. Details in the FAQ below. Not sure which tier fits? The [AI automation audit](/ai-automation-agency/) is $999, credited in full toward whichever of these you end up needing. ## We attack our own AI before it touches yours If your n8n workflow has an LLM node deciding anything (routing, drafting a reply, approving a refund) it can be manipulated by whatever text it reads, including a customer email with instructions buried in it. We run a 35-attack red-team harness against every AI step before it ships: prompt injection, data extraction, unauthorized tool calls. Unguarded, 71% of unsafe tool-call attempts succeeded on our own test system. Guarded, that number is 0%. The methodology is public on GitHub. ## Client results NocodeAssistant has been building internal tools and SaaS for small and mid-sized companies for 7 years; clients include Blomma, Major.app, and PrepLadder. ## What clients say > "Software builders who understand business and user experience.

Seven years building internal tools and SaaS for small and mid-sized companies, and n8n plus AI agents is where that work has been heading for the last one. [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/himanshu--sharma/). ## FAQ **How much does an n8n project cost?** $3,000 to $5,000 for a single workflow, $5,000 to $10,000 for a multi-step AI agent, $12,000 to $30,000 for a full system with a front end built on top. Migrations from Zapier or Make are usually $3,000 to $15,000 depending on how many zaps or scenarios you're carrying over. All fixed, quoted after a workflow audit. **Why n8n instead of Zapier or Make?** No per-task billing, so cost doesn't climb as you grow. Self-hosting, so your data doesn't transit a third party's servers. And it handles AI steps more natively than either. The tradeoff is that someone needs to actually build and maintain it properly, which is what we do. **Do you host it, or do we?** Either. Most clients self-host on a small VPS we set up and hand over, so there's no ongoing platform fee and you're never locked to us for hosting. Some prefer we manage it under the retainer. **Who owns the workflows once you build them?** You do. The exported JSON, the credentials, the documentation. If you want to take it in-house next year, you can, and we'll hand it over cleanly. **Do you offer ongoing support?** Yes, as an optional $750 to $2,500/month retainer: monitoring, fixes, and a quarterly re-run of our red-team suite against anything with an AI step. Not required. **We already have an n8n developer. Can you just fix what's broken?** Often, yes. We audit first and tell you honestly whether it's a small fix or needs rebuilding. ## Book a call [Book a 30-minute intro call](/go/intro-call?cta_label=n8n-hero).
