I just found out today that there are actually some viable alternative, self-hosted solutions, to n8n. Here the comparison of their stars on Github as of today (Nov. 26, 2025):
- n8n: 158,600
- Langflow: 139,300
- ActivePieces: 19,300
- Winmill.dev: 15,200
Turns out, n8n isn’t the only kid on the block—though it’s still the popular kid at the party.
