Hire an n8n developer who stays.

Yes. A one-off build starts at €2,900, the workflow is yours at handover, and there is no ongoing commitment. Most people still choose the managed plan, because it includes that same build with nothing to pay upfront and then keeps it hosted, monitored and fixed. I will tell you on the call which one genuinely suits you.

You own it, on every plan. Ask at any point — including part-way through the initial term — and I will export the workflow with its documentation and send it over. Nothing is held back and nothing is encrypted against you. An automation you cannot take with you is a liability, not an asset.

Six months on Starter and Managed, then cancel any time. Advanced is agreed in your written quote. How it works is simpler than most contracts: a build like this costs around €2,900 on its own and you pay nothing for it upfront, so it is paid off gradually across your term instead. If you leave during the initial term, what falls due is the part of the build not yet covered, and never more than the months left on the term. Complete the term and nothing at all is payable on cancellation. The one-off build has no term: you pay once and it is yours. Either way the workflow itself is yours from day one, and you can export it whenever you ask.

One business process, end to end. That might be a single workflow or a few working together — what matters is that it does one job, like "every new enquiry gets qualified, written to the CRM and followed up". In practice that means up to five connected apps and roughly 25 steps. If what you need is bigger, I will say so on the call and quote it properly rather than squeeze it in and resent it later. Once it is live, fixes are unlimited: if an app changes its API and your workflow breaks, that is mine to solve at no extra cost. On top of that you get two hours a month for changes and improvements, and unused hours roll over up to four. A second, unrelated process is either its own build or the Ops Partner plan.

A fair question to ask a one-person business, so here is a structural answer rather than a reassuring one. Your automation is documented well enough that another n8n developer could pick it up, the admin credentials are yours, and you can export the whole thing at any moment without asking me. Nothing about running it depends on me being reachable. I tell clients before I am away and monitoring continues while I am. And if I stopped altogether you would keep everything — the workflow, the documentation and the access — with no handover fee and nothing to negotiate. That is the point of building it this way.

Yes, from day one. Admin access is yours, the credentials are yours, and you can export the workflow at any moment without asking me. I do not hold access back as leverage — an automation somebody else controls is not really yours. The commercial side is handled separately and plainly: the build is paid off across your term, and leaving early settles whatever part of it is not yet covered. That way access is never something we have to negotiate.

The least that will work. Usually an API key or a service account scoped to the specific app and action, created by you, revocable by you at any moment. I do not need your passwords, and I will never ask you to share a personal login. If something genuinely needs broader access I will explain why before you grant it. My security policy and the list of subprocessors set out exactly who else can touch your data.

Both, gladly. The Data Processing Agreement is already published and applies from the day you start. Send your own NDA and I will sign it, or I will send you mine.

Several connected workflows, AI agents or anything where a failure costs you money is the Advanced plan, from €1,500 a month. I do not guess at it: after the call you get a fixed quote in writing, and no work begins until you have agreed to it. No hourly billing that quietly grows.

Yes. I can audit a workflow, find why it fails, simplify it and take over ongoing care if that is useful.

Only the task you want to stop doing by hand. Knowing which apps are involved helps, but you do not need a diagram or a technical brief.

Most single automations can be live within a week once we have agreed the workflow and the access. Larger systems get a clear timeline before anything starts.

No. Hosting is included on the monthly plans. If you already run n8n I can work with your setup, or help you move to a private server.

On the monthly plans the workflow is monitored, so in most cases I know before you do. I am one person in a European timezone, not a 24/7 support desk — I will not pretend otherwise. The support policy states the response times I actually commit to. If you need a guaranteed overnight window, say so on the call and I will tell you honestly whether I can meet it.

I monitor the workflow and fix it when something on the outside changes. You are not left holding an automation nobody understands.

No, and thank you for reading this far. Opsionic is not recruiting. This page is for businesses that want a workflow built, so please do not book a call slot for a job enquiry.
