Why This Matters for Pressure Washers

It's 6am and you've got 4 houses today. One customer texts asking to reschedule because of rain tomorrow. Another wants an estimate for their deck but you're 45 minutes away. You're trying to manage all this from your phone while loading 30 gallons of SH onto the trailer. By 3pm you've done 3 houses, used $80 in chemicals, and still haven't invoiced yesterday's jobs.

Pressure Washers face unique challenges: Scheduling around weather — rain cancels everything. Giving accurate estimates without seeing the property first. Managing recurring customers (house wash every year, driveway every 2 years). Tracking chemical costs and usage per job. Customers ghosting after you send a quote. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median pressure washer earns $45,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Pressure washer units (hot and cold) 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 Square replacement for pressure washers?

For solo operators and small teams (1-5), yes. Nexa includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. Square 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. Square is $29/month — that's $1,168 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 Square data?

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