Direct answer: Fluxr offers a single process automation module at S/ 199/month, VAT included, with a 90-day trial before the monthly charge activates. Before paying, you validate how much time your team actually saves, which processes are worth automating first, and whether the return justifies the cost for your specific operation.

The most common mistake isn't buying the wrong service — it's not knowing how many manual processes the company actually has, or what they cost in time, before deciding. Here's the full guide.

What does the automation module include?

Fluxr's module connects your work tools so repetitive processes run on their own, without manual intervention:

  • Flow design and implementation — the first automations are configured during the trial period
  • Permanent monitoring — active flows are tracked to catch errors or interruptions before they affect the team
  • Integration maintenance — when a connected tool updates its API, the flow is adjusted without you having to manage it
  • No execution limits — how many times a flow runs per month doesn't change the price; what matters is how many distinct flows you have active
  • Works with the tools you already use — CRM, WhatsApp, email, spreadsheets, Mercado Pago, and others

The price is S/ 199/month, VAT included. There is no additional setup fee and no per-integration charges.

What exactly counts as "one automation"?

This is the question that causes the most confusion when evaluating the service. An active automation is a complete workflow between two or more tools, triggered by a specific event — not an isolated task or an individual run.

Examples of a single automation, no matter how many times it runs per month:

  • "When a lead arrives from the web form → it's created in the CRM → the rep is notified over WhatsApp → a follow-up is scheduled for 5 hours later"
  • "Every Monday at 9am → the week's sales report is generated → and emailed to the team"
  • "When a payment is confirmed in Mercado Pago → the invoice is updated → and the receipt is sent to the customer"

If your operation needs 3 flows like these, all 3 can run under the same module even if each one executes hundreds of times a month. Execution volume doesn't change the price.

How to work out how many automations your company really needs

Before subscribing, run this inventory with your team:

  1. List the manual processes that repeat every week — lead follow-up, appointment confirmations, report generation, spreadsheet updates, invoice sending
  2. Mark which ones touch more than one tool — if a process lives entirely inside a single app, that tool may already handle it without external automation
  3. Calculate how much time each process consumes per month — hours per run multiplied by number of monthly runs

With that inventory, you can estimate whether the module makes sense for your operation:

Company profileProcesses identifiedWorth automating?
Practice, local shop, freelancer with a team1-3 weekly processesYes — validate in the first 30 days of the trial
SMB with processes across several areas (sales, support, finance)4-10 processesYes — 90 days lets you test the highest-priority ones
Mid-sized company with multiple teams and systemsMore than 10 processesYes — design a phased implementation plan

You can see concrete examples of the highest-return processes in our guide to 10 processes every small business should automate.

How to use the 90-day trial to validate the return

The trial period exists so you validate the return before committing budget indefinitely. The most common mistake is using trial time to automate what seems important rather than what runs most frequently.

A practical strategy for the 90 days:

  • First 30 days: Activate the 2-3 highest-volume, lowest-complexity processes — the ones that repeat daily or weekly and don't require complex exception logic. These generate return fastest and make the value most visible.
  • Days 30-60: Measure real time saved. If the savings exceed S/ 199/month in team time, the module pays for itself. If they don't, identify what held back the result: more exceptions than expected? Inconsistent input data?
  • Days 60-90: Add the more complex processes — those that touch more systems or require conditional logic — and confirm whether ROI scales or levels off over time.

If by the end of 90 days the monthly time savings exceed S/ 199, the decision to continue is mathematical. If they don't, you have real data — not assumptions — to decide whether to adjust the flows or whether your operation isn't the right fit for this solution.

You can compare managed automation against other market options (DIY tools like Zapier/Make, freelancers, agencies with lock-in contracts) in our analysis of Zapier vs Make vs a managed agency, or against the cost of hiring someone to do these tasks by hand in automation vs hiring an employee.

When NOT to buy an automation module yet

Honesty matters more than the sale here. There are scenarios where the module doesn't make economic sense yet:

  • You have fewer than 1 clearly repetitive process — if your operation is so small that a process happens 2-3 times a month, the time saved doesn't justify the monthly cost
  • Your processes change logic every week — if the workflow isn't stable, the cost of keeping it current can exceed the savings it generates
  • Your data is completely unstructured — information scattered across unformatted emails or inconsistent documents may need tidying before automating
  • You already have an internal system covering 90% of the case — if your ERP or ATS already automates the essentials, adding an external module may be redundant

If you're not sure which category your company falls into, the initial assessment before buying Fluxr's automation module covers exactly that, at no cost. You can review the full budget breakdown by company size in our article on how much it costs to automate a company.

How to work out whether the module pays for itself

Before committing budget, run the numbers on your own figures. If a manual process consumes 10 hours a month from someone on your team and their hourly cost is around S/ 20, that process costs S/ 200/month in time. Automating it with Fluxr's module (S/ 199/month) means the cost is recovered in the first month, and from the second month onward it's net savings for the company.

If you have 3 processes with that profile, the return is three times larger at the same monthly price.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Fluxr's automation module cost?

S/ 199/month, VAT included. It covers unlimited active automation flows, permanent monitoring, maintenance when a connected tool changes its API, and a 90-day trial period before the monthly charge activates.

What counts as 'one active automation'?

A complete workflow between two or more tools that runs automatically on a trigger: for example, 'when a lead comes in from the web form, it's created in the CRM, the rep is notified over WhatsApp and a follow-up is scheduled'. That counts as 1 automation, no matter how many times it runs per month.

How do I know if automation is worth it for my business?

Run the inventory: list your team's repetitive manual processes and calculate the time they consume per month. If the time cost of a single process exceeds S/ 199/month, the module pays for itself with that one flow. The 90-day trial exists so you can validate this with real data from your operation, at no risk.

How does the 90-day trial work?

You subscribe to the module, the first flows are configured and start running in your real operation. During 90 days you measure time saved, errors avoided and team impact before the S/ 199 monthly charge activates. If at the end of the trial the return doesn't justify the cost, you have real data — not assumptions — to make your decision.

When should you NOT buy an automation module yet?

If your operation has no processes that repeat regularly (at least weekly), if workflows change logic every week, or if your data is completely unstructured, the cost of keeping flows current can exceed the savings they generate. The free initial assessment identifies exactly whether your company is a good candidate before you commit.
