Service / Self-Hosted
Your server. Your data. Your code.
Enterprise-grade open-source tools — n8n, Mautic, Metabase, and more — deployed on your own infrastructure. One-time deployment fee, optional maintenance, no recurring platform costs. SaaS pricing rises 10 to 20 percent a year; ownership doesn't.

What you get
What's in the build
One-time fee. Documented. Owned by you.
Workflow Automation
01n8n replaces Zapier and Make — unlimited workflows for $50–100 a month in hosting versus $1,000–7,000 a year in task fees.
Email Marketing
02Mautic replaces Mailchimp and Klaviyo — unlimited subscribers and sends. At 50K–100K contacts, that is $4,000–17,000 a year back.
Analytics & BI
03Metabase and Plausible replace Tableau and Mixpanel — privacy-first analytics with no per-seat or per-event pricing.
Scheduling, Chat & CRM
04Cal.com replaces Calendly, Chatwoot replaces Intercom, and self-hosted CRM replaces per-seat platforms — the whole front office, owned.
Hardened Deployment
05SSL, backups, monitoring, and updates configured properly on AWS, DigitalOcean, or your own servers. Production-grade, not a weekend Docker experiment.
Full Compliance Posture
06No third-party data processing. GDPR and CCPA compliance simplifies dramatically when the data never leaves your infrastructure.
Use cases
Where it earns its keep
SaaS Stack Replacement
01Automation, email, analytics, scheduling, and chat consolidated onto owned infrastructure — five subscriptions become one hosting bill.
Data-Sensitive Industries
02Healthcare, legal, and finance workloads where customer data on third-party servers is a liability, not a convenience.
High-Volume Operations
03Businesses whose usage outgrew per-task, per-contact, or per-event pricing — volume scales, the bill doesn't.
Exit From Lock-In
04Years of workflows and lists migrated off platforms that keep raising prices because switching looked too expensive. It isn't.
Five phases. Thirty days to live.

Questions
Self-Hosted Solutions — FAQ
What does self-hosting actually save?
Email alone: 50K–100K contacts cost $4,200–18,000 a year on Mailchimp or Klaviyo, versus $50–150 a month in hosting on Mautic. Across automation, analytics, scheduling, and chat, typical stacks replace $5,000–17,000 a year in subscriptions.
Who maintains the servers?
We deploy production-grade — SSL, backups, monitoring, updates — and offer optional maintenance plans. Or your team takes it over with our documentation. Either way, the deployment fee is one-time.
Is open source reliable enough for business-critical work?
n8n, Mautic, and Metabase run in thousands of production businesses and are funded, actively developed projects. The difference from SaaS is not reliability — it is that nobody can raise your price or sunset your plan.
What about security?
Self-hosted done right is a stronger posture: your data never transits third-party processors, and you control patching and access. We harden every deployment and can pair it with our cybersecurity consulting.
How fast can we migrate?
Deployment is live in days; full migration with parallel running and validation completes within 30 days for most stacks. Workflows, lists, and history move with you.
