n8n
n8n combines visual workflows with custom code and AI agents. It offers cloud and self-hosted deployment, connected tools and multiple model providers.
Promptbook and n8n
Is your main challenge connecting specific steps, or continuously processing changing inputs?
Promptbook
An ongoing workflow using your files and context. The engine runs in your environment, controls are separate, and a partner who knows your business can handle deployment.
When to consider n8n
Consider it when you want to visually design connections between systems and explicitly control workflow steps.
When to consider Promptbook
Promptbook starts with an ongoing responsibility and client-owned context rather than drawing individual steps. Both approaches require permissions, oversight and operations to be configured correctly. Self-hosting and model choice are not exclusive to Promptbook.

Use your own materials to compare output quality, oversight required, total cost and handover into operation. Look beyond the licence price or a single impressive output.
