Why This Matters for Plumbers
You finish a water heater install at 2pm. Customer asks for the invoice. You're standing in their driveway trying to remember if you billed for the flex connector and what the labor hours actually were. Your next call is across town in 30 minutes and you haven't even logged this morning's faucet repair. By the time you get home at 7pm, you've got three invoices to send and no idea what you spent on parts today.
Plumbers face unique challenges: Tracking hours across multiple jobs in a day. Creating invoices from the truck between calls. Managing parts inventory and expenses. QuickBooks is overkill for a solo operation. Chasing payments from landlords and property managers. On top of all that, ServiceTitan charges $300/month ($3,600/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median plumber earns $59,880/year. Software at $3,600/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Pipe wrenches (multiple sizes) 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.

A day in the life of a plumber
You finish a water heater install at 2pm. Customer asks for the invoice. You're standing in their driveway trying to remember if you billed for the flex connector and what the labor hours actually were. Your next call is across town in 30 minutes and you haven't even logged this morning's faucet repair. By the time you get home at 7pm, you've got three invoices to send and no idea what you spent on parts today.

Why plumbers leave the big platforms
jobber: Expensive for what it does. $69/month minimum, $169/month for the features you actually need like quoting and invoicing.
servicetitan: Built for 20-truck fleets. Way too complex and expensive for a one-man operation. Minimum contract is brutal.
quickbooks: Desktop version got killed. QuickBooks Online is $55+/month now and half the features don't apply to field service.

FAQ
Is Nexa really a ServiceTitan replacement for plumbers?
For solo operators and small teams (1-5), yes. Nexa includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. ServiceTitan 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. ServiceTitan is $300/month — that's $12,078 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 ServiceTitan data?
Export your data from ServiceTitan as CSV, import into Nexa in about 5 minutes.
