Before comparing products
Two places WordPress automation can live
Most of the differences between tools follow from this one. Neither is better in general: it depends on whether your work happens mostly inside the site or mostly between other systems.
Automation plugins
Inside WordPress
A plugin listens to WordPress’ own hooks and acts on the site directly, with the site’s own permissions. There is nothing else to host, and the work runs on the site’s server.
FlowWP and Uncanny Automator work this way.Automation platforms
Outside WordPress
A separate service reaches the site through its REST API and webhooks, and connects it to many other systems. It is one more service to run, or to subscribe to.
n8n works this way, in n8n Cloud or on your own server.
