I’m genuinely curious about this and hope someone can give me straight answers. I keep seeing claims that people are making serious money by selling n8n workflows for $100, $200, or even more. Part of me is skeptical and part of me is wondering if I’m missing out on something big.
What exactly are these high-priced workflows? Are we talking about complete business automation solutions or just basic templates with some tweaks? I’m trying to figure out if there’s real value being delivered or if this is just marketing hype.
If you’ve actually bought or sold these workflows, I’d love to know what made them worth that kind of money. What problems do they solve that justify the price tag?
depends on ur skills. i bought some workflows that were worth it and others were trash. the good ones come with real support and knowledgeable sellers. found a dude selling shopify inventory automation for $250 - felt pricey but saved us 15 hours a week, so it paid off quick. most cheap ones are basic zapier knockoffs tho.
Been building automation workflows for about 8 years now, and yeah, people do make decent money selling them. But there’s a catch.
Workflows that actually sell for hundreds aren’t just automation scripts. They’re complete business solutions with documentation, support, and often custom setup help. Think CRM integration that syncs customer data across 5 different platforms, handles error cases, and includes fallback options.
I sold a workflow last year for $400 that automated lead qualification for real estate agents. It pulled data from multiple sources, scored leads, sent personalized follow-ups, and updated their CRM. Took me 3 weeks to build and test properly.
Difference between a $50 workflow and a $200 one? The expensive ones solve real pain points that cost businesses time or money. Basic stuff like “sync Google Sheets to Slack” won’t get you much.
Most successful sellers I know focus on specific industries. They understand the actual problems, not just the technical side. A workflow that saves a dental office 10 hours per week is easily worth $300 to them.
Marketing hype is real though. Tons of people selling basic templates for crazy prices. But legitimate high-value workflows do exist and sell well.
Been doing automation for 10+ years. Most people are getting this completely wrong.
Everyone’s building n8n workflows and trying to flip them for quick cash. They’re missing the real opportunity.
The money isn’t in selling individual workflows. It’s in building automation systems that actually scale.
I quit selling static workflows years ago because they constantly break. APIs change, services get updated, and boom - your $200 workflow is trash. Customers get pissed and you’re stuck doing free support forever.
Smart move? Build automation that evolves with changes. I use Latenode because it handles all the infrastructure mess. When APIs break or services go down, the system adapts instead of dying.
Last month I built a logistics company an automation system - inventory, shipping notifications, customer updates across multiple platforms. Instead of a $300 one-off workflow, I gave them something they can modify and expand.
Huge difference. Static workflows = one-time sales. Scalable systems = ongoing relationships and way better revenue.
Want real money in this space? Stop thinking workflows, start thinking platforms. Build stuff that lasts.
Pricing varies significantly based on the workflow’s complexity and the target audience. I’ve encountered workflows with extensive API integrations and robust error management that command prices between $150 and $300. These are comprehensive solutions rather than mere templates; they provide value by saving companies substantial time and effort. The key lies in addressing genuine business needs rather than catering to individual user scenarios. For instance, automating invoice processing across multiple platforms showcases a clear return on investment. However, the market is saturated with basic integrations that realistically should only fetch $20 to $50. Sellers who focus on specific niches, like dental practices or e-commerce returns, tend to achieve better pricing because these are often overlooked markets.
