Revaal or n8n?
We make Revaal, so this page is written to be checked: every figure about n8n was read off n8n's own pages and the addresses are at the foot, and everything said about Revaal is what you meet inside the product.
The short answer is that they do not do the same job. n8n wires systems together; Revaal is where the model does the work itself. If your job is moving data between services, choose n8n, and we will tell you the same thing.
Which one, for you
Choose n8n if…
- Your job is wiring systems together: a database row into a ticket, a form into a spreadsheet, a webhook into ten other places.
- You need a service that is not on our short list. n8n's integration list runs to 2,174 entries and Revaal has 19.
- You want to write code inside a step.
- You want it standing on your own server, with the data never leaving your network.
- The volume is high and the model work is light; n8n counts whole runs, not steps.
- You need loops, merges or sub-workflows.
Choose Revaal if…
- The model is the work: writing, summarising, translating, making a picture, transcribing audio, building a video.
- You would rather not open a separate account and key at a model provider; 300+ models are already inside.
- You want to pay in Toman, from an Iranian account.
- The work is Persian: a right-to-left studio, Persian sources, and text that will be published in Persian.
- You want each step's cost in Toman, right there in that run's report.
- The people building the boards do not write JSON or expressions.
The difference between Revaal and n8n, row by row
Each cell says what the thing is, rather than which product «has» it. Two columns of ticks, across two products doing different jobs, only looks like a comparison.
Where n8n is genuinely ahead
This list is not trimmed and carries no «but». Every item is something n8n does and Revaal does not do at all.
The breadth of it
2,174 entries in the integration list against 19. If your tool is Jira, or Salesforce, or an internal database, n8n reaches it today and Revaal does not.
Reaching any API at all
The HTTP Request step means any service with documentation, even one nobody ever wrote an integration for. Revaal's two ways out, a webhook and an MCP server, are narrower.
Code, right there in the step
JavaScript and Python inside the workflow. Any data transformation you can think of is writable. Revaal has no code step and is not heading toward one.
On your own server
The n8n code is available and stands up on your own infrastructure with nothing to pay for the software. For a team whose data must not leave the network, that is the only right answer, and we do not have it.
Complicated flows
Looping over a list, merging two branches, a sub-workflow called from several places, and a separate workflow for when one fails. A Revaal board has conditional branches and nothing else.
The community and the templates
More than 10,000 templates and a forum that has usually solved your problem already. Revaal does not have that, and it is not the kind of thing marketing produces; years produce it.
Where Revaal is ahead
Held to the same standard. Every item is something in the product, not something on a roadmap.
The models are already inside
300+ models, one chosen per step: text on one, the picture on another. No key, no account at a provider, no bill in a foreign currency.
Five kinds of work, not just text
A step can write text, make an image, produce audio, transcribe a recording or build a video. You pick the kind, and the list of models changes with it.
Persian, not translated into Persian
A right-to-left studio, 149 sources ready to follow, and publishing to the places a Persian-speaking audience actually is. The n8n interface is English.
The cost is on the run
Every step carries its own figure in Toman, in that run's report. On n8n the runs are counted, and the model bill arrives somewhere else, on the provider's invoice.
Building by saying it
The assistant beside the board builds the steps, configures them and points at what is wrong. Somebody who does not write JSON or expressions still gets from nothing to a board that runs.
Versions and publishing, on no higher plan
Every board has versions and shows what changed before it goes out. On n8n, Git version control starts at the Business plan.
Cost: what n8n charges, and what Revaal does
The n8n figures are from their own page. We have written no figure for Revaal, because the cost follows the work you run rather than the month, which is what the pricing page says too.
How n8n counts
- Starter: 2,500 runs a month, €20 a month billed annually.
- Pro: 10,000 runs, €50 a month billed annually.
- Business: 40,000 runs, €667 a month billed annually.
- A run means one pass through the whole workflow, however many steps it has. On long workflows that is very much in your favour.
- Self-hosting costs nothing for the software. What it costs is a server and somebody's time keeping it up.
- The model bill is in none of these. It is paid separately, to the provider.
How Revaal counts
- There is no monthly subscription. You top the workspace's credit up and each step draws from it.
- A step is priced on the model you picked for it and the size of the work it did.
- A run's rate is frozen the moment it starts, so a step's bill cannot change afterwards.
- Bringing a colleague into the workspace adds nothing to the bill.
- No model, tool or source is locked behind a plan.
- The model bill is this bill. A second one does not arrive from somewhere else.
And one sum that does not come out in our favour: if your work is high volume with light model use, moving a few rows every five minutes, n8n is cheaper, and on your own server you pay nothing for the software. Revaal is priced on model work, and a board calling a large model thousands of times a month spends real money.
Using Revaal and n8n together
Often the right answer is to keep both: let n8n do the plumbing and Revaal do the model work. Revaal accepts webhooks and exposes an MCP server, and n8n has a webhook step and can call an MCP server too. So an n8n workflow can set a Revaal board going, take the result, and carry it anywhere else.
A few questions about Revaal and n8n
Is Revaal an n8n alternative?
For some of the work yes, for the rest no, and we would rather say the «no» ourselves than have you find it later. n8n is a tool for wiring systems together, and a model is one of the things it can call. In Revaal the model is the work: every step is a model, and a board is built to produce text, pictures, sound and video. So if what you run on n8n is model work, Revaal replaces it; if it is plumbing between systems, it does not. Nor is Revaal «an Iranian n8n»: it is a different product that happens to be built here.
Can Revaal run on our own server?
No. Revaal is offered as a service only; there is no build for your own infrastructure. If your data genuinely cannot leave your network, n8n is the right answer and we are not.
Is n8n open source?
The code is available, but the licence is the Sustainable Use License rather than one of the recognised open-source licences. The short of it is that use inside your own business is allowed and selling it on as a service to others is not. Some files need a separate enterprise licence on top. The full text is linked at the foot of this page.
Do I still need an OpenAI key in Revaal?
No. The models are inside the product and you pick one per step from the list. The cost comes out of that workspace's credit, in Toman, and the figure is in that run's report. On n8n this part is yours: an account and a key at the provider, and a bill that arrives separately.
Can Revaal do work with no model in it?
Up to a point. There are conditions, publishing to the connected tools, calling your own webhook and your own MCP server, but no general HTTP step and no code step. If the whole job is moving data between two systems, you are holding the wrong tool.
Where should I start?
With the job that genuinely repeats every week. Build it once on a board and run it step by step; ten minutes later you know whether this is the right tool, and you have seen what that run cost. The guide walks through that build a chapter at a time, and if you would rather talk first, the pricing page has a form.
Build one board and see
Ten minutes on the job that repeats every week tells you more than any table which tool is yours.
