This means you can create complex workflows with Google Docs, involving thousands of tasks or steps, without worrying about escalating costs. For example, if your Google Docs workflows perform around 100k tasks, you could be paying $500+/month on other platforms, but with n8n's pro plan, you start at around $50.
