FAQ
Questions buyers actually ask.
What is n8n and why is it better than Zapier?
n8n is an open-source automation platform that can be self-hosted. Unlike Zapier, you pay a fixed hosting fee instead of per-task pricing — saving up to $17,000 over 3 years for typical usage.
Do I own the automations you build?
Yes, 100%. Everything we build runs on your infrastructure. If you ever part ways with EAST, you keep every workflow, credential, and configuration.
Can n8n handle enterprise-scale workloads?
Absolutely. n8n supports horizontal scaling, queue-based execution, and can handle millions of operations per month on properly configured infrastructure.
How much does automation cost?
It depends on complexity. A starter engagement — 3 to 5 core workflows with monitoring — runs $4,000 to $8,000. Larger builds with AI agents, multi-system orchestration, and BigQuery integration range from $12,000 to $25,000. Ongoing management starts at $2,000/month. The n8n platform itself costs roughly $50/month to host — no per-task fees, ever.
How long does it take to build and deploy automation workflows?
Simple workflows (lead routing, notification chains, data sync) ship in 1 to 2 weeks. Complex builds involving AI agents, multi-system orchestration, and custom logic typically take 3 to 6 weeks. We deploy in phases — you see working automation within the first week, not after a 3-month discovery process.
Is it safe to let AI agents handle business-critical tasks?
Every AI agent we build includes guardrails. High-stakes decisions (financial transactions, client communications, data deletions) always have human-in-the-loop approval steps. The AI proposes an action, a team member approves or rejects it. We also set confidence thresholds — if the agent is less than 90% confident, it escalates to a human instead of guessing. All agent actions are logged and auditable.
