Why This Matters for Consultants

Morning: client calls, project reviews. Midday: deliverable work, research. Afternoon: invoicing, proposals, business development.

Consultants face unique challenges: Tracking billable vs non-billable hours. Multiple client retainers. Scope creep on projects. Late payments on large invoices. On top of all that, HubSpot charges $20/month ($240/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median consultant earns $85,000/year. Software at $240/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Laptop 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 HubSpot replacement for consultants?

For solo operators and small teams (1-5), yes. Nexa includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. HubSpot 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. HubSpot is $20/month — that's $805 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 HubSpot data?

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