RunLookout and NodeHero
Last checked: 18 October 2026.
NodeHero is a monitoring service for n8n workflows, per its public listings.
What NodeHero does well
- It focuses on n8n, like we do.
- Its listings mention AI-powered error diagnostics.
- Its listings mention a free plan.
Where RunLookout differs
- Empty run detection. You pick a step, and we alert when a "successful" run produced 0 items at that step.
- Every alert has a short plain-English note you can forward to your client.
- Alerts go to Telegram.
- We only read workflows and run history through the n8n API. We never edit your workflows.
- Price: free for 14 days, then $9 a month for up to 10 client servers, or $19 a month for unlimited servers.
