| Area | Koshra | n8n |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A ready team of AI employees with roles, a dispatcher and a shared Brain | A visual workflow builder, with an AI agent step among many nodes |
| Where it runs | Server-hosted assisted preview. Core data stays on the selected server. Files and model providers may process data elsewhere. | Hosted cloud with data in Frankfurt, or self-hosted Community, Business and Enterprise editions |
| Licence | Built on an Apache-2.0-licensed foundation. Koshra distribution and resale are separate agreed terms. | Sustainable Use License: use and change it for your own internal business or non-commercial purposes; enterprise features need a licence key |
| Approvals | Configured tool rules and approval cards. Configured CRM rules block destructive operations. Not every outbound path is verified. | Human approval for tool calls |

Deployment and feature differences
- Koshra's foundation is Apache-2.0. Koshra resale is still a separate agreement. n8n's advertised licence is different. Not an overall ranking.
- A ready team of role bots, so you do not build each workflow by hand
- A shared Brain with versioned undo that every bot reads

Questions
Can I use Koshra for client work where n8n's licence is limited?
Koshra is built on an Apache 2.0 open source base, which allows commercial use and resale; terms for Koshra are agreed with you. n8n's Sustainable Use License allows use for your own internal business or non-commercial purposes, so check your case with n8n.
Which to pick
If you want to wire your own automations step by step, with a big community, n8n is further along. If you want a ready team of AI employees on your own server that you can also run for clients, Koshra fits. Book a demo to see it on your work.
