Overview
Crossnode is a platform that lets freelancers and agencies turn AI automation workflows into subscription-based products that clients pay for monthly. Rather than building one-off automations, users can import existing n8n or Zapier workflows — or build new AI agents from scratch using natural language — and package them behind branded client portals with built-in billing via Stripe.
The platform is designed around a "build once, earn continuously" model. Agencies set up their agents, customize the storefront with their own branding and domain, and invite clients to subscribe. Crossnode handles the infrastructure, credential management, payment processing, and usage analytics, so builders can focus on delivering automation value rather than managing SaaS operations.
Crossnode also operates an experimental marketplace where companies post automation requests with escrow-backed budgets and builders compete to deliver solutions, creating an additional revenue channel for automation professionals.
Key Features
AI Agent Builder — Describe what you want in plain language and the AI designs the workflow, picks the right tools, and sets it up, letting you go from idea to sellable agent in minutes without manual configuration.
n8n & Zapier Import — Upload your existing workflow JSON files and they become live agents instantly with no rebuilding or downtime, making it easy to monetize automations you've already built.
500+ Integrations — Connect to Slack, HubSpot, Stripe, Gmail, Notion, GitHub, Shopify, OpenAI, and over 500 other tools, ensuring your agents work with whatever software your clients already use.
Branded Client Portals — Clients get their own login at your custom domain with your logo and colors, making the experience look like software you built from scratch.
Built-in Billing via Stripe Connect — Connect Stripe once, set your price, and Crossnode handles subscriptions, usage tracking, and invoices automatically so you can focus on delivering value.
Autonomous Terminal Agent — Agents can execute isolated bash, Python, and package-install tasks inside secure Linux environments, streaming live output for more advanced automation scenarios.
How to Get Started
Getting started with Crossnode follows a straightforward path from signup to your first paying client:
Sign up for free — Create an account at crossnode.sh with no credit card required. The Starter plan includes a 1-day free trial.
Build or import your agents — Either describe your automation in plain language using the AI Agent Builder, or import existing n8n/Zapier workflows by uploading the JSON file. Your workflows become live agents immediately.
Customize your storefront — Add your logo, brand colors, and connect your custom domain. Clients will see your brand throughout their experience, never Crossnode's.
Connect Stripe — Link your Stripe account once to enable automated subscription billing. Set your pricing for each agent and Crossnode handles the rest.
Invite clients — Share your storefront link or send direct invitations. Clients subscribe, store their own API credentials in the encrypted vault, and start using your agents right away.
Pricing & Plans
Crossnode uses a flat monthly subscription model. You pay a fixed fee, charge your clients whatever you want, and keep the difference. A 10% platform fee applies to all storefront sales. Subscription prices drop as your client base grows — up to 50% off with 7+ active paying clients. Annual billing saves 20%.

FAQ
Is there a free trial available?
Yes, the Starter plan offers a 1-day free trial with no credit card required. You can sign up, build or import agents, and explore the platform before committing to a paid subscription.
How does the "build once, earn continuously" model work?
You create an AI agent once — either by describing it in natural language or importing an existing workflow — and then package it in your branded storefront. Clients subscribe and pay monthly to use the agent. You set the price and keep the revenue minus Crossnode's 10% platform fee.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The AI Agent Builder lets you describe what you want in plain language and generates the workflow automatically. If you already have n8n or Zapier workflows, you can import them directly without any coding. However, the Autonomous Terminal Agent feature does support bash commands for more technical use cases.
What happens to my existing n8n or Zapier workflows?
You can upload the JSON export of your existing workflows and they become live agents instantly on Crossnode. There's no rebuilding or migration downtime — your workflows are ready to sell to clients immediately after import.
How do clients store their API keys securely?
Crossnode includes a secure credential vault where clients store their own API keys in an encrypted environment. Your agents use these credentials to run automations without you ever touching or seeing the raw keys, maintaining a zero-trust security model.
What integrations does Crossnode support?
Crossnode connects to over 500 tools including Slack, HubSpot, Stripe, Gmail, Notion, GitHub, Shopify, and OpenAI. If your client uses a popular SaaS tool, there's likely an integration available.
How does the experimental marketplace work?
Companies post automation requests with specific budgets backed by Stripe escrow. Builders can browse open requests, submit proposals, and compete to deliver the solution. Funds are released only when the client approves the final agent, protecting both parties.
Can I use my own domain and branding?
Yes. On the Team plan and above, you get full white-label branding with your logo, colors, and custom domain. Clients interact with a storefront that looks entirely like your own product — they never see Crossnode's branding.
