✗I recently canceled two subscriptions. HouseCall Pro is far superior. This company held me hostage for $8,250 for seven days claiming it was my first
✗Jobber is an overengineered platform that still lacks basic functionality. Confirmation emails cannot include a clear list of services being provided.
✗Their pricing could use some help. Features locked to higher tier should be included as default.

Why This Matters for Appliance Repair Technicians
Most of my calls are washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers and ovens, and the diagnosis is where I earn my money. Before I pull anything apart I ask what it's doing, check the error codes and the model number, and look up the known failures for that model, because many machines fail in predictable ways. A dryer that runs but won't heat is usually the element, a fuse or a thermostat; a fridge that's warm might be a defrost problem, a fan, or a sealed-system leak that isn't worth fixing on an old unit. Part of the job is telling customers honestly when repair costs more than the machine is worth. I carry the common parts, belts, igniters, pumps and door switches, and order the rest, which usually means a second visit. Every job starts with a diagnostic fee that's credited toward the repair if they go ahead. Safety matters: disconnecting power, shutting off gas and water, and checking for leaks before I leave. Warranty companies send me work too, at lower rates and with a lot of paperwork, so I balance them against direct customers.
Appliance Repair Technicians face unique challenges: Diagnosing before knowing if the customer will approve the repair cost. Carrying common parts inventory and tracking what's used per call. Warranty claim paperwork for authorized service calls. Customers comparing your repair quote to new appliance prices. On top of all that, Jobber charges $49/month ($588/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median appliance repair tech earns $42,000/year. Software at $588/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Multimeter and amp clamp 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 appliance repair technicians leave the big platforms
servicetitan: Enterprise pricing for a solo technician. They want $300+/month — that's more than I make on some days.
jobber: $69/month and it can't track parts inventory on the truck. That's the one feature an appliance tech actually needs.
housecall-pro: Price went from $49 to $129 in two years. Features I need — parts tracking, warranty management — still aren't included.

FAQ
Is Nexa really a Jobber replacement for appliance repair technicians?
For solo operators and small teams (1-5), yes. Nexa includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. Jobber 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. Jobber is $49/month — that's $1,764 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 Jobber data?
Export your data from Jobber as CSV, import into Nexa in about 5 minutes.
Appliance Repair Technicians in Miami
The average solo operator there spends about $2,300/year on software — and appliance repair tech face their own version of that math. No state income tax in Florida; solopreneurs benefit significantly, though commercial rents and insurance costs are rising fast. Miami-Dade requires a Local Business Tax Receipt. Florida contractors need state licensing through DBPR. Bilingual signage often expected.
Hurricane season requires business continuity planning most solopreneurs lack
Bilingual market (English/Spanish) demands tools that support both languages
Seasonal population swings mean wildly inconsistent monthly revenue
Numbers reflect typical solo operators in the Miami metro. Your situation will vary.
