Everything you need to know about FluxForge.
FluxForge is a Python simulation, automation, and data analysis platform that lets you build models, run scripts, and surface insights - without the need for spreadsheets or macros. In addition to being a sleak Python editor, it allows for complex parametric simulations, allowing you to vary thousands of parameters in parallel and determine their collective impact upon your models.
No, but it helps. FluxForge provides a visual modelling interface that greatly simplifies the code you would traditionally have to write - we have a library of common operations that can be used in our visual editor. Premium and Business plans are fully AI enabled, allowing you to mitigate the need for programming almost entirely. For data analysis, we support all Excel operations as well as SQL and Python programming, so you can choose the tools that you are most comfortable with.
Yes. The free plan includes a single project with up to 3 models, limited cloud storage, CSV exports, basic dashboarding, and custom libraries. You can get started immediately; no credit card required.
Paid plans are billed per user, either monthly or annually (with a 10% discount to annual licenses). Usage-based charges for cloud storage are calculated at the end of each billing cycle and invoiced separately.
Absolutely. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time from the billing page on your account portal. Changes take effect immediately. In the event that you are downgrading to the free plan and your data storage exceeds the provided limits, you will be prompted to export your datasets using our 'single-click' export system.
We accept all major credit and debit cards through our payment provider. Presently, bank transfers and other means of payment are not supported, but we will look into these as the system grows.
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We follow industry best practices for security and your payment information is handled entirely by our PCI-DSS compliant payment provider. With regards to passkeys used during modelling (i.e. when connecting to an external data source that feeds a computational model), FluxForge will not persist these secrets - you will be required to input these as needed.
Yes, and it is something that we feel extremely passionate about. If you're an educational institution or a student, please get in touch with us to discuss preferential pricing for your team. We will happily arrange a discussion to best understand how we can help.
FluxForge is currently only available as a desktop application for Windows and macOS. A web-based version is coming soon. Presently, we have no intention on supporting any Linux distributions, but this may change if users would like this feature realised.
Definitely. Team collaboration is available on the Pro and Premium plans. You can invite other users to your projects and work together in real time. Premium plans allow for team tracking and the allocation of more granular project permissions.
Currently we are on version 0.18.4, and whilst the core functionality has been frozen, we do expect to occasionaly release breaking changes until we reach version 1.0.0 (stable). However, our team will make every effort to ensure migrations are effortless and that updates do not disrupt your workflows. If you ever run into an issue with a new version, our team is ready to guide you and assist where needed.
We are a South African engineering consultancy that specialises in industrial, mechanical, and electrical engineering. We have experience across numerous sectors, including petrochemical, mining, and renewable energy. Initially we developed FluxForge as an internal tool to replace our complex (and often unruly) Excel models - since then, it has grown into something that we love to use on a daily basis. We sincerely hope that you enjoy it too.
Of course! Feel free to submit these using the contact form on the FluxForge website. Our team regularly reviews all enquiries. It is our mission to make this software as great as it can possibly be, and your recommendations are pivotal to that vision.
