Why switch
n8n is a general automation tool. Building email sequences means wiring nodes manually, handling errors yourself, and maintaining your own infrastructure. Driplane gives you a dedicated sequence builder out of the box.
Self-hosting n8n means managing servers, updates, and uptime. Driplane is a hosted app — connect your Resend API key and start building in minutes.
n8n has no concept of email A/B testing or open/click tracking. Driplane tracks every send, open, click, and bounce with real-time dashboards.
Write emails with React Email components, Markdown, or plain text. n8n gives you a raw HTTP node — you format the email yourself.
