Team member caps on lower tiers
Not suited for complex workflows
My least favorite thing is the price. As a solo entrepreneur, budget is tight and the barrier to entry is around $40 a m
89% price hike - is it still worth it to stay or switch?

Why This Matters for Travel Agents

You're managing 20 active trips. A honeymoon couple needs a $12K itinerary finalized — hotel, flights, transfers, activities across 3 islands. A family reunion of 25 people needs group rates at a resort. Commission on the honeymoon is 10-15% but the hotel pays net-60 after travel. You spent 8 hours researching the itinerary and the couple hasn't committed yet. Your trip tracker is an Excel file with 20 tabs.

Travel Agents face unique challenges: Commissions arrive months after booking. Complex itineraries with multiple suppliers per trip. Service fee justification when clients can book online themselves. Tracking deposits, final payments, and commission across dozens of trips. On top of all that, HoneyBook charges $39/month ($468/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median travel agent earns $40,000/year. Software at $468/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your GDS access (Sabre, Amadeus) 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.

FAQ

Is Nexa really a HoneyBook replacement for travel agents?

For solo operators and small teams (1-5), yes. Nexa includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. HoneyBook may be better if you have a large team (10+) or need enterprise-specific features.

$279 seems like a lot.

It's $7.75/month over 3 years. HoneyBook is $39/month — that's $1,570 over 3 years. Which is more? And if you'd rather split it, Nexa is also available as 3 payments of $99.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Nexa is $279 as a one-time payment, or 3 payments of $99 ($297 total). Either way it's a one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring fees ever.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund. If Nexa doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.

Can I import my HoneyBook data?

Export your data from HoneyBook as CSV, import into Nexa in about 5 minutes.
