An undocumented estate
Active, paused, duplicate and ownerless workflows make scope unreliable before anyone writes a line of code.
Fixed-price software migrations
Move from software A to software B. Know the price before you start.
FlowPorter assesses your current setup, maps it to the destination, rebuilds the gaps and proves the new system before cutover. We're launching with Zapier and Make migrations to production-ready n8n.

Choose a route
Where are you moving from — and where do you want to go?
Pilot route Zapier → n8n is an initial FlowPorter route with a real assessment model. Start the quick estimate below.
The real switching problem
The destination is rarely the hardest part. The unknown route is.
A feature chart can't tell you what your business actually depends on. FlowPorter turns that uncertainty into an inventory, a map, an agreed way to prove the replacement, and a fixed price attached to verified scope.
False one-to-one assumptions
Branches, custom code, shared state and error handling rarely map like-for-like. The target often needs a different pattern.
Critical side effects
Messages, payments, orders and records can't be duplicated casually while you test. Proof has to be designed, not improvised.
No objective finish line
“It ran once” is not the same as accepted behaviour, a controlled cutover and clear operating ownership afterwards.
One controlled route
From an unknown estate to a proven switch
Every stage produces a concrete artefact and a decision gate — not a marketing slogan.

Three-minute estimate
See the route before you buy the move.
Answer a few structural and operational questions. You'll see a headline recommendation and indicative band before deciding whether to save or verify the report — no email required to see your result.
- No password or token values, ever
- No forced calendar booking
- An honest Move, Blueprint, Optimise First or Stay
- A fixed quote only after verified scope
Privacy-first by design
The estimate uses ranges you report. When you're ready to verify, supported exports can be parsed in your browser so raw workflow values don't routinely leave your device.

Indicative implementation band
$—
Not a binding quote — the fixed price follows verified scope.
This quick estimate uses deterministic rules v1 and self-reported answers. It can never issue a binding quote. Package prices and thresholds are working launch hypotheses pending commercial approval.
Commercial certainty
Fixed price — without pretending the unknowns don't exist
A blind quote transfers hidden risk into change requests or poor delivery. FlowPorter uses a clearer sequence: your estimate shows a band, verification resolves the material unknowns, then scope and acceptance lock with the price.
01 · Estimate
Directional range
A band from your self-reported answers. Useful for direction, never binding.
02 · Verify
Inventory & evidence
We confirm the structural inventory, mappings, critical workflows and dependencies.

Illustrative launch anchor.
Prices are working launch hypotheses until commercially approved. Eligibility depends on verified complexity, unique systems, custom code, criticality, volume, environments and route maturity.
Evidence before reliance
Ported, proven, then switched.
A rebuilt workflow isn't complete because it ran once in a test. For every critical workflow, FlowPorter agrees what success means, tests representative and failure paths, controls duplicate side effects, and records sign-off.

Where we start
Two routes we've built a real method for
We launch one excellent route at a time, not a shallow directory. A route goes public only when it has an assessment model, verified mapping patterns and an acceptance method.
Zapier → n8n
Route
Inventory and rationalize the Zap estate, rebuild in n8n, verify critical outcomes and manage the switch. For teams with growing task volume, operational fragility or a need for stronger ownership.
Make → n8n
Route
Move scenarios with deliberate treatment of routers, iterators, aggregators, data stores, webhooks and failure paths — not a visual copy exercise.
Managed n8n
Operate
Use n8n without leaving production ownership undefined. FlowPorter can monitor, recover and improve the automation estate under an agreed service boundary.
More than workflow recreation
An export can move logic. A migration product answers the rest.
Who owns the estate, how it will be tested, when it's safe to switch, and what happens when it fails — that's the difference between a script and a controlled operational change.
| Hourly agency | Migration script | Internal rebuild | FlowPorter | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Verified inventory | Varies | Partial | Internal burden | Included |
| Fixed price | Rare | Tool fee only | Hidden staff cost | After verified scope |
| Mapping decisions | Bespoke | Limited | Learned from scratch | Route library + review |
| Acceptance evidence | Varies | Usually absent | Must create | Included |
| Cutover & rollback | Varies | Absent | Internal burden | Included |
| Managed operation | Optional | No | Internal burden | Productized |
Independent recommendation
Sometimes the right answer is not to move.
A small, stable and inexpensive estate may be better left where it is. A migration is most valuable when cost, reliability, ownership or strategic flexibility creates a clear business case. The assessment is designed to make that decision more informed — not to force every visitor into a project.
Probably stay put
- A small, stable estate with low administrative burden
- The current platform meets your security and operational needs
- No internal or managed owner for the destination after cutover
- Source-exclusive behaviour would be expensive to reproduce
- Savings or strategic benefit don't yet justify the move
Worth assessing
- Task volume or platform cost has grown beyond easy oversight
- Important processes depend on personal accounts or undocumented logic
- You need custom behaviour, deployment control or stronger observability
- A renewal or consolidation is creating a decision point
- You want one operating model for automation, not scattered ownership

After the switch
The migration ends. Operational responsibility doesn't.
After cutover, FlowPorter Managed can monitor workflow health, support failure recovery, coordinate upgrades, assist with credential changes and deliver a monthly improvement allowance — with a clear boundary between platform operation and business-process ownership.
Health monitoring
Failed-execution triage, replay and recovery support across the estate.
Upgrades & credentials
Platform and dependency update coordination, credential-rotation assistance.
Improvement allowance
Reserved monthly capacity plus a service report, so the estate keeps getting better.
Questions, answered
The things people ask before they start.
How can FlowPorter offer a fixed price?
We attach the fixed price to a verified scope manifest, not a rough conversation. The assessment identifies the size and complexity of the estate. Structural verification or a paid Blueprint resolves material unknowns, and the acceptance plan defines what completion means. Normal delivery variance inside that approved scope is FlowPorter's responsibility.
Is the online estimate a binding quote?
No. It's an indicative range based on the information you supply. A binding fixed quote follows structural verification and, where required, a paid Blueprint.
Do you automatically convert every workflow?
No. Some patterns map directly, some require transformation or rebuilding, and some should be retired. Our promise is a verified outcome — not a one-click conversion claim.
Do you need our passwords?
Never paste credentials or secret values into the quick assessment. Where technical verification or implementation access is needed, FlowPorter uses an approved least-privilege and secrets-handling process.
Can both systems run in parallel?
Often, but not always. Parallel operation can create duplicate side effects for actions such as payments, messages or record creation. The Blueprint defines where shadowing, suppression, test accounts, replay or another proof method is safe.
What happens if the assessment says we should stay?
You receive the reasoning and the conditions that may change the decision later. FlowPorter is designed to support a sound switching decision, not to force every visitor into a project.
Are you affiliated with Zapier, Make or n8n?
FlowPorter is an independent BetterWrk specialist practice unless a current partner relationship is explicitly stated and verifiable. Third-party marks are used only to identify the relevant products.
Which countries do you serve?
FlowPorter is designed for remote delivery across supported markets. The exact contracting entity, tax, currency, data-residency and service-hour arrangements are confirmed during verification.
