n8n implementation in Canada — built, hosted, and monitored.
ClarioAI builds production n8n workflows for Canadian SMBs. We design the automation, self-host it on infrastructure you control (or ours), wire it into your CRM and billing stack, and keep it healthy. Fixed scope. Fixed price. Shipped in 2–4 weeks.
Why Canadian SMBs choose n8n
n8n is the open-source workflow engine we default to when a build needs to be portable, cost-predictable, and inspectable by your team. The reasons it wins:
- Self-hostable — keep customer data inside Canadian infrastructure when policy requires it
- No per-task pricing — flat infrastructure cost regardless of execution volume
- Open-source core — no vendor lock-in, no surprise pricing changes
- Visual workflow editor your team can debug without us
- 1000+ integrations, plus custom nodes for niche Canadian tools (Jane App, Jobber, etc.)

n8n FAQs
Why n8n instead of Zapier or Make?
Flat hosting cost (no per-task billing), self-hostable in Canada for data residency, open-source core, and far better AI/agent capabilities. See our n8n vs Zapier and n8n vs Make comparisons.
Do you host it for us?
Either option. We deploy on your cloud (AWS/Hetzner/DigitalOcean/Vultr) so you own it outright, or on our managed infrastructure as part of a retainer.
Can n8n stay inside Canadian infrastructure?
Yes. We deploy to Canadian regions (AWS ca-central-1, Hetzner-equivalent Canadian providers, or on-prem) when PIPEDA/PHIPA/Law 25 require it.
What does a typical n8n build cost?
Single workflow builds start at $4,500 CAD (2 weeks). Multi-workflow implementations from $12,500 CAD (4–8 weeks). Hosting costs are typically $20–80/mo on top.
Can we edit the workflows after handover?
Yes — that's the point. We hand over docs and a Loom walkthrough. Your team can debug and extend in the visual editor. Optional retainer if you want us on call.
Do you migrate from Zapier or Make to n8n?
Yes. We audit current usage, rebuild equivalents in n8n, and run both in parallel until parity is verified. Typical migration: 1–3 weeks.
