You're not the only one who's had enough.
Trivia Hosts face unique challenges: Multiple weekly venue residencies with different payment terms. Writing new questions every week takes hours of unpaid prep. Bars canceling on slow nights with little notice. Growing from 2 nights to 5+ nights means managing a complex schedule. On top of all that, Acuity Scheduling charges $33/month ($396/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median trivia host earns $28,000/year. Software at $396/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your PA system and microphone is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
Acuity Scheduling is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?
