SolveQ: What's your competitive advantage against tools like n8n?
Hi, I'm using n8n for all my automation needs via a VPS server. It costs only a few dollars per month for unlimited processes.
Can I understand what's your competitive edge since I have to pay a huge amount just to be limited by credits on each tier?
Thanks!

Thank you for your question! While n8n is great for self-hosted setups, Diaflow offers a fully managed, AI-native automation platform with private AI models running securely on our cloud—no DevOps required. For more control, we support private cloud deployments via our Enterprise plan. Plus, if you want to bring your own API key (BYOK), you can do so to minimize credit usage. Let us know if you'd like a demo or more info!
Best regards,

I do not understand how the credits system is priced.
I believe your credit system is even way more limiting than hosting directly on n8n servers, which is alarming.
Help me make sense of this deal.
Thank you for your feedback! I understand the confusion. Our credit system is based on the components used in a flow—full details are here: https://docs.diaflow.io/flows/component-list-and-view-credits.
If you have your own API keys, you can use BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) components, which don’t consume credits. This can give you much more flexibility depending on your setup.
