Manual rebuild hours avoided
Instead of recreating every workflow action, condition, variable, email, and connector call by hand, Flow Migrator analyzes the source workflow and generates a migration package where conversion is supported.
ROI calculator
Estimate the cost of manual workflow conversion versus Flow Migrator.
Build a business case around the biggest savings driver: reducing the hours required to analyze, rebuild, refactor, and validate legacy Nintex workflows in Power Automate.

Why Flow Migrator saves money
The business case is not just license replacement.
Workflow migration projects become expensive when teams manually document, rebuild, troubleshoot, and refactor each workflow. Flow Migrator reduces that labor by automating the repetitive conversion work and highlighting the exceptions that need review.
Faster discovery and scoping
The Analyze report separates supported, partial, unsupported, and limit-risk items so teams can estimate effort before developers spend days inspecting each workflow manually.
Reduced remediation effort
Large workflows that exceed Power Automate limits can require parent/child refactoring. Refactor output reduces the time needed to design that structure manually.
Optional license consolidation
If Nintex licensing can be retired after validation, that can improve the business case, but the calculator treats license savings as optional rather than the primary ROI driver.
Interactive calculator
Compare manual conversion cost with Flow Migrator-assisted effort.
Adjust workflow counts, hourly cost, Flow Migrator investment, and optional platform savings. The calculator keeps the manual and assisted effort assumptions fixed by complexity so the sales estimate stays simple and consistent.
Manual rebuild vs. Flow Migrator
Show the labor cost avoided when workflows do not have to be rebuilt by hand.
Start with workflow counts and hourly cost. Flow Migrator applies built-in labor assumptions for manual conversion versus assisted conversion, so customers can focus on project size and business impact. Optional platform savings are shown only as a secondary benefit.

Workflow conversion labor model
Edit the workflow counts. Manual and assisted effort assumptions are built into the model.
| Complexity | # Workflows | Manual effort | Manual cost | Assisted effort | Assisted cost | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Basic Notifications, simple approvals, light SharePoint updates. | 15.0 | $1,350 | 5.0 | $450 | $900 | |
Standard Multi-step approvals, conditions, variables, and common email actions. | 60.0 | $5,400 | 15.0 | $1,350 | $4,050 | |
Moderate Branching, lookups, task outcomes, item updates, and review fixes. | 80.0 | $7,200 | 15.0 | $1,350 | $5,850 | |
Complex REST calls, Query JSON, group lookups, attachments, and heavy branching. | 120.0 | $10,800 | 15.0 | $1,350 | $9,450 | |
Limit-risk / refactor Oversized workflows that need parent/child refactoring for Power Automate limits. | 80.0 | $7,200 | 4.0 | $360 | $6,840 | |
| Total | 42 | 355.0 | $31,950 | 54.0 | $4,860 | $27,090 |
Manual conversion pathBaseline

Flow Migrator-assisted pathRecommended
- Assisted conversion labor$4,860

Executive summary
Based on these assumptions, manual workflow conversion would require 355.0 hours and cost $31,950. Flow Migrator-assisted conversion would require 54.0 hours and cost $4,860, saving 301.0 hours and $27,090 in labor before any optional platform savings are included.
Planning estimate only. Actual results depend on workflow complexity, connector coverage, tenant configuration, validation scope, unsupported actions, and manual remediation remaining after conversion.
How to use this in a sales conversation
Walk the customer through the workflow inventory, estimate manual rebuild hours by complexity, then show how automated analysis and package generation lower the assisted effort. Add licensing savings only if the legacy platform can actually be retired.
What the calculator does not guarantee
A real migration estimate still depends on workflow analysis, unsupported actions, custom connectors, tenant permissions, Power Automate limit remediation, and user acceptance testing.
Recommended workflow
- Start with workflow counts by complexity and a fully loaded hourly cost.
- Keep the effort model fixed so sales estimates stay consistent across demos and customer conversations.
- Use the assisted labor total to explain the time saved by automated analysis, package generation, remediation support, import, and UAT preparation.
- Add optional platform savings only when the customer can actually retire legacy licensing after migration.

Upload a Nintex workflow export and Flow Migrator will show what converts cleanly, what needs review, and what may require manual remediation before you commit to a project estimate.
