The managed alternative
to n8n
All the power of n8n without the DevOps. Browser agents, email templates, and CRM built-in. No servers to manage.
Why teams switch from n8n
Self-hosting is powerful but costly. Get the same flexibility without the infrastructure burden.
Managed Cloud, No DevOps
n8n self-hosted requires Docker, databases, and ongoing maintenance. Agents runs fully managed—just build and deploy.
Browser Agent Automation
AI agents that browse, click, and interact with any website. n8n has no equivalent browser automation capability.
AI Workflow Builder
Describe your automation in plain English. Our AI builds the workflow for you—no node-by-node configuration.
Built-in Email Templates
Design and send emails directly. n8n requires external email services for anything beyond basic SMTP.
Built-in Records CRM
Store contacts and data without external databases. n8n requires you to connect Postgres, Airtable, or similar.
Enterprise Security Included
SOC 2 compliant with SSO and audit logs on all plans. n8n Enterprise features require expensive upgrades.
What only Agents has
Browser agents, email templates, CRM, and managed hosting—all included. No infrastructure to manage.

n8n vs Agents FAQ
