Stop Paying for
Zapier Per Task.
Own Your Workflows
CodeHunter Lab are expert n8n consultants in the Netherlands. We migrate your tailored workflows from Zapier and Make to self-hosted n8n — cutting costs by 60–80%, eliminating rate limits, and giving you full data control. No black boxes. No vendor lock-in.
Although we are located in the Netherlands, our main method of communication is English, as our tech team speaks English. However, we also offer and create websites in Dutch, since we have a specialist who proofreads Dutch content.
The Hidden Cost of SaaS Workflow Tools
Zapier bills scale with success
Every task costs. As your business grows, so does your Zapier bill — €200, €500, €1,000+ per month. You are paying a tax on your own growth.
Your data lives on someone else's server
Customer data, financial records, internal processes — all flowing through third-party cloud infrastructure. For GDPR-sensitive businesses, this is a compliance risk.
Rate limits block critical workflows
When you need to process 10,000 records and Zapier caps you at 2,000 tasks per month, your automation breaks exactly when you need it most.
Complex logic requires workarounds
Conditional branching, loops, error handling — things that should be simple become convoluted multi-Zap chains. Debugging is a nightmare.
Missing integrations force manual steps
Your internal tool, niche SaaS, or custom API has no Zapier integration. So someone on your team manually bridges the gap every day.
No visibility into workflow performance
When a Zap fails silently, you do not know until a customer complains. No centralized monitoring, no alerting, no audit trail.
What We Build With n8n
We are not a no-code agency. We engineer production-grade workflow systems that run on your infrastructure, scale with your business, and are fully documented.
Zapier & Make to n8n Migration
We audit your existing automations, map every trigger and action, and rebuild them in n8n with improved error handling, logging, and performance. Zero downtime migration.
→ 60–80% cost reduction. Full data sovereignty.
Custom Workflow Architecture
We design and build complex multi-step workflows with conditional logic, parallel execution, error recovery, and webhook endpoints. Built for reliability, not just functionality.
→ Workflows that scale with your business, not break under load.
Self-Hosted n8n Setup & Optimization
We deploy n8n on your infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud VPS), configure queue mode for high-volume processing, set up backups, and optimize for performance.
→ Unlimited tasks. No rate limits. Full control.
Custom API Integrations
n8n's HTTP node and custom code blocks let us connect to any API — your internal tools, niche SaaS platforms, or legacy systems. No integration is off-limits.
→ Every system connected. No manual bridging.
Workflow Monitoring & Alerting
We set up execution logging, error notifications (Slack, email, webhook), and dashboard monitoring. You know immediately when something fails — before your customers do.
→ Zero silent failures. Full operational visibility.
GDPR-Compliant Data Pipelines
Self-hosted n8n means your data never leaves your infrastructure. We build with data minimization, encryption, and audit logging from day one.
→ AVG/GDPR compliance by design, not as an afterthought.
Our Migration Process
From audit to live — a structured, zero-downtime migration.
Workflow Audit & Documentation
01We map every existing Zap or Make scenario: triggers, actions, data flow, error handling, and dependencies. You get a complete inventory of your automation stack.
n8n Architecture Design
02We design the target n8n architecture: workflow structure, credential management, execution mode, and infrastructure requirements. Reviewed with your team before build.
Parallel Build & Testing
03We rebuild workflows in n8n alongside your existing Zaps. Both run in parallel so we validate output accuracy before switching. No disruption to your operations.
Cutover & Monitoring
04Once validated, we switch traffic to n8n workflows. We monitor closely for 2 weeks, fix any edge cases, and provide full documentation and handover.
Why n8n Over Zapier or Make
Unlimited executions, flat pricing
Self-hosted n8n costs a fraction of Zapier at scale. No per-task fees, no tier upgrades as you grow. Your workflow volume is not a billing problem.
Full data control and GDPR compliance
Data stays on your infrastructure. No third-party processing, no data residency questions. Critical for Dutch businesses handling sensitive customer information.
Complex logic without workarounds
Native support for loops, conditionals, error handling, merge nodes, and custom JavaScript. Build what you actually need — not what the platform allows.
Open source and future-proof
n8n is open source (fair-code). Your workflows are JSON files — version-controllable, portable, and not locked to a proprietary platform. You own everything.
Common Questions
What businesses ask before migrating to n8n.
→Can you migrate all our Zaps to n8n without downtime?
Yes. We run n8n workflows in parallel with your existing Zaps during testing. Once validated, we switch traffic in a controlled cutover. Your operations continue uninterrupted.
→How much does self-hosted n8n cost compared to Zapier?
For most businesses, self-hosted n8n costs 60–80% less than Zapier at equivalent task volumes. A €5–10/month VPS can handle tens of thousands of executions. We provide a cost comparison during the audit.
→Do we need technical staff to manage n8n?
No. We handle the setup, configuration, and documentation. The n8n UI is visual and intuitive — similar to Zapier. We provide training and ongoing support. You do not need a dedicated engineer.
→What if a workflow we need has no n8n integration?
n8n's HTTP node and custom code blocks let us connect to any API. If it has a REST or GraphQL API, we can integrate it. We have built custom connectors for dozens of niche platforms.
→How long does a typical migration take?
A standard migration (10–30 workflows) takes 3–5 weeks from audit to cutover. Larger migrations or complex custom integrations may take 6–8 weeks. We scope the timeline during the audit.
