Lumen Trust Notes

Make

Make is cloud-hosted with data processed through Make's EU and US infrastructure; there is no self-hosted option on standard plans. Its competitive pricing, generous free tier, and broad integration library make automation genuinely accessible to small teams and solo operators, earning a High parity score. Recommended for teams needing sophisticated multi-step automation without engineering overhead.

n8n

n8n's self-hosted option means organisations can run the entire platform on their own infrastructure with zero data leaving their environment, earning a rare High privacy score. Its fair-code open-source model, transparent codebase, and free self-hosted tier make it the most sovereignty-respecting automation platform in this directory. Strongly recommended for data-sensitive organisations, regulated industries, and any team that needs full control over automation data flows.
