In footer they have n8n vs Zapier and n8n vs Make pages, I guess other similar software would be IFTTT

IFTTT is target more at personal usage while the others are more professional or more complex uses. n8n is, as the starting page, open source and self-hosted unlike those two.

n8n is source-available, not open source, because they restrict commercial use. They acknowledge this themselves: https://docs.n8n.io/choose-n8n/faircode-license/#is-n8n-open...

Thanks for the correction.

The non-commercial aspect seems to be mostly directed at people trying to compete with them, not comercial users.
