Direct answer: automating a business with Fluxr costs S/ 199 per month — a single module, no separate setup fee, and a 90-day free trial. There are no Starter, Growth or Scale tiers: one price, all the automations your operation needs. But the number that matters most isn't that one — it's the cost of not automating: according to business productivity data, 60% of employees' time goes to repetitive tasks that require no human judgement.
What does an automation budget include?
Before the figures, it's worth clarifying what "automating" means concretely. A process automation is a workflow connecting two or more tools and executing actions with no human involvement: when a lead arrives from the web form, the CRM is updated, the team gets a WhatsApp notification and an automatic follow-up is scheduled for the next 5 hours.
Fluxr's automation module works at a single price of S/ 199 per month — no separate setup fee and no tiered plans. The first 90 days are free: you implement the flows, measure their impact and decide whether to continue before making the first payment. The module includes the initial assessment, implementation of the first flows and ongoing monitoring.
For operations requiring custom development — ERP integrations, proprietary systems or high-complexity flows — pricing is defined by scope at /custom-development.
Real budgets by company size
| Company size | Typical processes to automate | Fluxr module | Trial period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Micro-business (1-5 people) | Lead follow-up, appointment confirmations, weekly reports | S/ 199/month | 90 days free |
| Small company (6-20 people) | The above + recurring invoicing, client onboarding, internal alerts | S/ 199/month | 90 days free |
| Mid-sized company (21-100 people) | Multiple areas: sales, operations, finance, support | S/ 199/month | 90 days free |
| Complex operation | Multi-tool flows, ERP integrations, proprietary systems | Scoped pricing | /custom-development |
From day 91 onwards (after the 90-day free trial), the module is billed at S/ 199 per month.
These are Fluxr's prices. The market also offers other options, with their own advantages and limitations:
| Type of solution | Approximate cost | Includes maintenance | Learning curve |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIY (Zapier/Make-type tools) | $20-$200/month (licence only) | No | High — you configure and maintain it |
| Freelancer or independent consultant | $500-$2,000 setup + no support | Usually not | You depend on one person |
| Agency with lock-in contract | $500-$5,000 setup + $200-$500/month | Yes, under contract | Low — they manage everything |
| Fluxr (agency with no lock-in) | S/ 199/month (90-day trial) | Yes, included | Low — we configure and monitor |
How to prioritise what to automate first by ROI
The most common mistake is trying to automate everything at once. The right strategy is to prioritise by return: calculate how many hours a month each repetitive process consumes and multiply by the hourly cost of whoever does it.
A practical example: if a sales coordinator spends 15 hours a month manually updating the CRM and copying data between tools, and costs the company $12/hour, that process costs $180/month. With Fluxr's module at S/ 199/month and a 90-day free trial, automating that flow starts generating savings before the first payment is due.
The prioritisation criteria in three questions:
- How often does this process happen? — daily or several times a week makes it a priority candidate
- How much time does it consume? — any process taking more than 2 hours a week merits analysis
- Does it genuinely vary, or is it always the same? — if the process varies with each run, automating it is more complex and less profitable
You can use Fluxr's ROI calculator to run this calculation with your company's data and see the payback period before committing budget.
The cost of NOT automating: what doesn't show up in the accounts
Here's the number nobody puts in the spreadsheet: 60% of employee time at companies of 10-100 people goes to repetitive tasks that could be automated — manual lead follow-up, report generation, email confirmations, spreadsheet updates.
If you have a team of 5 people averaging $800/month each, that's $4,000/month of total work. 60% of that time — $2,400/month — goes to tasks needing no human judgement. Against that, a S/ 199/month automation module looks like a different kind of investment.
Indirect costs matter too: human errors in repetitive processes, leads lost because follow-up arrived late, reports delayed because someone had a heavy week. The clearest statistic we see with clients: contacting a lead within 5 minutes multiplies the probability of conversion by 21. That's impossible to do manually when the team is fielding multiple simultaneous enquiries. There's also an opportunity cost few companies measure explicitly: the hours the team can't spend on high-value work — sales, strategy, handling complex customers — because it's busy updating spreadsheets or copying data between systems.
When automating isn't worth it
Automating carries implementation and maintenance costs. In these scenarios the ROI doesn't justify the investment:
- Processes that change every week — if the flow has no stable logic, the cost of keeping the automation current exceeds the saving
- Tasks happening fewer than 2-3 times a month — volume is so low that the time saved never exceeds the module's monthly cost
- Processes depending on human judgement at every step — if each run requires a different decision, it isn't automatable in the strict sense; it can be improved with a tool, but not with an automated flow
- Organisations with unstructured data — if information is scattered across unformatted emails, inconsistent documents or systems with no API, the cost of cleaning the data before automating can be prohibitive
If you aren't sure whether your case applies, the initial assessment in Fluxr's automation module covers exactly that — with an ROI estimate before committing budget. A good automation agency should always be able to tell you "in your specific case, this doesn't make sense yet" before charging you. If it doesn't, that's a red flag.
