How Draft’n Run compares to n8n

Capability	Draft’n Run	n8n
AI-native components	Guardrailed prompts, evaluation harness, retrieval blocks	Community nodes, minimal governance
Observability	Run-level logs, token budgets, regression tests	Basic execution log
Deployment	Cloud, on-prem, private VPC	Self-host / cloud
Compliance	SOC 2 program, role-based workspaces, data residency controls	Depends on self-managed stack

Draft’n Run focuses on production readiness—multi-tenant separation, localized experiences, and first-class auditing—while n8n shines for hobby and early experimentation.

When to switch

• You need multilingual CX workflows with consistent tone and analytics.
• Security wants role separation, approval flows, and signed audit trails.
• Product teams demand feature flags and safe rollbacks for agent updates.
