All 18 B2B SaaS Vendors Ranked by TCO & Pricing Transparency

| #3 N8 n8n Engineering & AI teams building multi-step LLM agents or needing per-workflow execution pricing | Source-Available AI Agent & Workflow Engine | $24/mo | Up to 17% Off | Key pricing difference: n8n bills per FULL workflow run, not per step.
