Pros
Free self-hosting removes per-task fees if you can run the infrastructure
Prebuilt roles shorten setup compared with building automations from scratch
Real browser rendering copes with JavaScript-heavy sites that simple scrapers miss
Self-hosting avoids per-task pricing anxiety at scale
Inline code nodes give real flexibility beyond visual blocks alone
Strong reputation and active community among technical users
Cons
Per-task overage on hosted plans adds up for high-volume workflows
Founded in 2025, so the hosted product has a short track record
Self-hosting needs engineering time to set up and maintain
Fair-code license is more restrictive than fully permissive open source
Self-hosting requires real infrastructure and maintenance
Steeper learning curve for non-technical users than simpler tools
