Marketplace comparison
You can sell your n8n workflows on specialized marketplaces, the official n8n Creator Hub, freelance sites, or your own website. The best option depends on what you sell: a simple template file, or a workflow with setup, custom work and maintenance. Here is how they compare.
| Platform | Best for | Sells services | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| FlowMarket | Templates plus setup, custom builds and maintenance | Yes — built in | Service-layer marketplace: sell the workflow and the help to run it. Stripe Connect payouts, tiered 13% → 5% commission, free to publish. |
| n8n Markets | Browsing a large template catalog and hiring experts | Partial (hire experts) | Established template catalog plus an experts directory. |
| n8n Basket | Selling ready-made template files | Template-first | Template-focused marketplace for downloadable n8n workflows. |
| Automation Workflows | Multi-platform templates (n8n, Make, Zapier) | Template-first | Useful if you also sell Make or Zapier automations, not only n8n. |
| n8n Creator Hub (official) | Free templates and visibility inside n8n | No (not paid sales) | Official template library: exposure and affiliate, not direct paid sales of individual workflows. |
| Generic stores / freelance sites | An audience you already own, or one-off custom gigs | Varies | Gumroad, Fiverr or Upwork work, but they are not automation-specific — buyers need more context and trust signals. |
Indicative comparison based on each platform's public positioning. Check each platform's current terms before publishing.
Why a specialized marketplace
On a generic marketplace, your n8n offer is buried among ebooks, website templates and unrelated packs. On a specialized platform, the buyer is already looking for an automation — you don't have to educate them from zero.
Where FlowMarket helps
Before choosing where to sell, answer five questions. If the buyer is technical and the workflow is simple, a downloadable template is enough. If it touches important systems (CRM, payments, email), add a service option.
