When Tealfabric fits
You can build graphs, but you still lack a governed place for ops, security, and AI to share one execution history.

Tealfabric vs n8n
n8n is a capable self-hosted workflow engine with a large node library. Tealfabric is a governed operations platform: tenant isolation, policy-bound agents, Datapools, and WebApps for teams who need production ops—not only a workflow canvas.
n8n is a fit when
- You want self-hosted workflow graphs and custom nodes
- Engineering is comfortable operating the automation runtime
- The job is pipelines and task graphs more than customer-facing ops
- Governance is something you will layer on yourself
Tealfabric adds
- Tenant-isolated SaaS runtime with keystore, scoped API keys, and sandbox guardrails
- Governed AI agents with HITL before integration execute
- Operational data and customer WebApps on the same policy boundary
- Monitor history ops can replay without owning the workflow engine
Sales landmine
Do not attack open source. n8n is a strong engine. Tealfabric is the operations product around process, data, agents, and governance.
