Zapier popularized "if-this-then-that" automation between SaaS apps. OSS alternatives let you self-host, avoid per-run pricing, and use unlimited steps.
n8n is the dominant Zapier alternative. 400+ integrations, visual node editor, code nodes (JS/Python), AI nodes (LangChain, OpenAI), self-host with Docker.
github.com/n8n-io/n8nn8n is the dominant Zapier alternative. 400+ integrations, visual node editor, code nodes (JS/Python), AI nodes (LangChain, OpenAI), self-host with Docker. Strong commercial support + cloud option. The clear pick for serious automation.

You want a 100%-open-source-no-commercial-strings automation tool.
You want a modern UI — n8n is way prettier.
