QuickFlo vs n8n
A workflow engine, or a client-ready product?
n8n is a lower-cost, flexible automation tool with a self-hosted Community Edition. QuickFlo costs more because it is built to package a complete client solution and install it repeatedly.

Migration guide
Move one client solution first.
- 1
Choose one repeatable client workflow and record its trigger, actions, credentials, data, and expected outputs.
- 2
Rebuild that path in QuickFlo. Use native steps where they fit and a Deno code step where custom logic is clearer.
- 3
Put the workflow, triggers, data stores, dashboards, connection requirements, and setup checklist into one package.
- 4
Install it in a test organization, compare outputs, then move one client before rolling the package out again.
FAQ
A few common questions.
Is QuickFlo cheaper than n8n?
Not at the paid entry tier. n8n Starter is cheaper. QuickFlo is aimed at consultants and agencies who want the data, dashboards, package, install checklist, hosting, and client rollout in the same product.
Can I self-host QuickFlo?
No. QuickFlo runs the hosted runtime. You can export workflow definitions and packages, but a self-hosted QuickFlo runtime is not offered today.
Can I move custom code?
Usually. Move the logic into a Deno code step, then replace environment variables and credentials with QuickFlo connections and install-time configuration.
