Detailed comparison
How Fluxley and BATNA compare across the features that matter.
Pricing
BATNA
2.5% commission on negotiated sales. Higher rate than Fluxley's 1%. Free to install with no monthly fees.
Fluxley
1% commission on the negotiated product price only — not shipping, not the full order. Lower rate than BATNA, with all features included and no tiers or gates.
AI Negotiation Approach
BATNA
Uses demand-based dynamic pricing — discounts adjust based on product demand signals. Could theoretically optimize better for variable-demand products, but merchants often report not understanding how or why specific discounts were offered.
Fluxley
Transparent approach: you set min/max discount limits, the AI negotiates in graduated rounds to find the smallest discount that closes the sale. No black-box algorithms — you always know why a discount was given and what the limits are.
Customization
BATNA
Some widget customization options. Branding control varies by plan.
Fluxley
Full branding customization — colors, logo, button text, chat styling — included on every account. No upgrade required.
Discount Controls
BATNA
Discount ranges influenced by demand algorithms. You set boundaries, but the algorithm decides within those based on demand signals — which can feel unpredictable.
Fluxley
You set exact limits per product or variant. The AI negotiates within those limits — period. No demand algorithms adjusting things behind the scenes. Discounts enforced by code.
Smart Triggers
BATNA
Basic display options for the negotiation widget. Demand-based approach may influence when discounts are more aggressive.
Fluxley
Exit intent detection, time-on-page thresholds, cart value triggers, and return visitor detection. Show negotiation when it's most likely to convert — all included.
Best For
BATNA
Stores with highly variable demand that could benefit from dynamic pricing. Merchants who prefer a lower commission rate and don't mind less transparent discount logic.
Fluxley
Merchants who want to understand exactly how discounts work. High-ticket stores (furniture, jewelry, electronics) where predictable margins matter. Stores that value transparency and control.

Common questions about switching from BATNA
How does Fluxley's pricing compare to BATNA's?
BATNA charges a 2.5% commission, while Fluxley charges 1% — both on negotiated sales only. Fluxley's rate is lower, and the commission is calculated on the negotiated product price only (not shipping or the full order), with all features included and no tiers or gates.
What's wrong with demand-based pricing?
Nothing inherently — it's a valid approach. But merchants in BATNA's reviews frequently mention not understanding how discounts are calculated or why certain prices were offered. Fluxley's approach is simpler: you set the limits, the AI negotiates within them. Everyone understands what happened and why.
How does Fluxley decide what discount to offer?
You set minimum and maximum discount limits per product (or globally). The AI then negotiates in graduated rounds, trying to close the deal at the smallest discount possible within your limits. The discount is enforced by code, not the AI, so it's impossible to exceed your caps.
Does Fluxley use demand signals to adjust pricing?
No. Fluxley uses a transparent, rule-based approach where you set the boundaries and the AI negotiates within them. If you specifically want dynamic pricing that adjusts based on demand patterns, BATNA's approach may be a better fit for your needs.
Can I set different discount limits for different products?
Yes. Set a global default, then override at the product or variant level. Protect high-margin items, clear old inventory faster, or disable negotiation entirely on specific products.
