Why TV Mounters Leave Housecall Pro
✗Add-on model creates 30-50% cost creep
✗Per-user fees ($35/month) scale fast
✗Basic plan missing QuickBooks integration
✗Payment processing fees (2.99%) are high
✗No job costing functionality
✗Cost creep from paid add-ons is the single most common reason businesses stop using Housecall Pro.
✗If you have a team of 10, you're paying $299 base plus $315 for 9 additional users. That's $614/month.
✗The add-on model creates a slow bleed that catches people off guard.

You're not the only one who's had enough.
Why This Matters for TV Mounters
You do 5-6 TV mounts today, scattered across the city. Job one is straightforward — bracket, mount, done in 45 minutes. Job two has a brick fireplace — that's an upcharge you didn't quote because the customer said 'drywall.' Job four wants you to run cables through the wall and set up their Apple TV. By 5pm you've done 5 jobs, driven 60 miles, and need to invoice all of them. Jobber charges $69/month for 5-minute jobs — the per-job software cost is absurd.
TV Mounters face unique challenges: Jobs are quick (30-90 minutes) but scheduling and invoicing overhead per job is disproportionate. Driving across town for a $150 job barely covers time and gas. Customers wanting cable management, soundbar install, and smart home setup as add-ons. Managing same-day booking requests — TV mounting is often urgent. On top of all that, Housecall Pro charges $99/month ($1,188/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median TV mounter earns $38,000/year. Software at $1,188/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Stud finder (electronic/magnetic) 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.

Why tv mounters leave the big platforms
jobber: $69/month for 30-minute jobs? My software costs more per job than my gas. That math doesn't work.
square: Good for swiping at the door but can't manage same-day scheduling or job notes about wall types.
housecall-pro: $129/month for a micro-service business. I'd need to mount an extra TV every month just to pay for the software.

It's $7.75/month over 3 years. Housecall Pro is $99/month — that's $3,986 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?

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.
