★ Verified Workflow Execution Model (n8n Cloud vs Zapier Per-Task) Verified: 2026-10-24

n8n Cloud bills per complete workflow execution regardless of how many internal nodes/steps run inside that workflow (Starter: €20/$24/mo for 2,500 full workflow executions; Pro: €50/$60/mo for 10,000 full workflow executions; €120/mo for 50,000 executions). Zapier bills per individual step/task inside a Zap.

2,500 5-Step Workflows (12,500 Zapier tasks)	~$189/mo (Zapier Pro 15k–20k tasks)	$24/mo (n8n Starter — 2,500 workflow runs)
10,000 5-Step Workflows (50,000 Zapier tasks)	~$399/mo (Zapier Pro 50k tasks)	$60/mo (n8n Pro — 10,000 workflow runs)

2. 本地浏览器 CSV 表头映射工具

Tabular CSV Headers Only

在浏览器本地将导出的 Zapier Pro/Team CSV 列名映射为 n8n Cloud 导入格式。注：本工具仅重命名 CSV 表头列，不执行完整系统迁移。

⚠️ Import Readiness & Consent Warning: Renaming CSV column headers does NOT make a file automatically import-ready. Custom attributes must be created in the target platform first, and unsubscribed/opt-out lists must be verified separately to preserve GDPR consent status. Does not convert JSON workflow blueprints.
