Power Automate or n8n for a Microsoft 365 company?
Updated 2026-10-22
Short answer: If your company lives in Microsoft 365, Power Automate is often the natural first choice because it fits Teams, Outlook and SharePoint and may be partly included in existing licences. n8n is worth considering for heavier AI workflows, non-Microsoft apps, or self-hosting.
Power Automate
- Tight fit with Microsoft apps and admin controls.
- Licensing can be confusing; check Microsoft's pricing page for current plans.
n8n
- Works well across many non-Microsoft apps and AI models.
- Can be self-hosted for data control.
