How People Make Money With n8n: 12 Real Businesses, From Agencies to Templates

n8n makes money mostly as a service and as a distribution channel, rarely as the product itself. The ProvenStartups index holds 12 revenue-backed businesses that use n8n to build, deliver or run what they sell. Most are automation agencies selling results to small businesses. The most interesting few use n8n to *distribute* a product, or to run an operation at a scale no team could match by hand.

How we count: a business is listed only if its own interview says n8n builds, delivers or runs the product. On October 17, 2026 we removed 6 entries, including a channel whose revenue belonged to the benchmark it copied, a product built to replace n8n, and an agency that chose not to use it.
