Digitorn vs n8n - AI agents vs visual automation

n8n is the leading open-source visual workflow automation tool: drag-and-drop nodes, hundreds of integrations, self-hostable. Digitorn is similar in spirit (open-source, self-hosted) but built around AI agents as the primary primitive, declared in YAML rather than visually wired.

  • Your workflows are LLM-driven, not deterministic point-and-click flows.
  • You want to share or install agents from a marketplace.
  • You prefer config-as-code (YAML in git) over visual canvas.

Pick n8n when…

  • Your workflows are deterministic and you want a visual editor.
  • You need 400+ SaaS integrations available without writing code.

n8n is excellent for visual deterministic automation. Digitorn complements it for AI-native, multi-agent flows where the visual canvas would just hide complexity that's better expressed in YAML.
