In this video, I clear up the **confusion around self-hosting n8n and monetizing it**.
If you’ve ever thought about charging clients for a self-hosted setup, you’ll want to watch this first — otherwise, you could run into **compliance issues with n8n’s license**.
I’ll break down:
• What’s actually allowed under n8n’s terms of service
• When you can (and can’t) self-host and sell it as a service
• Practical examples of how to build a profitable micro-SaaS with n8n
• The three main business models for agencies using n8n without violating the license
• Red flags you should watch out for when handling client credentials
By the end, you’ll know *how to use n8n as the backbone of your agency or SaaS* without risking compliance problems.
Like, subscribe, and drop your questions in the comments — I’ll be happy to expand in future videos. ❤️
