Why This Matters for Copywriters

You're writing landing page copy for Client A, email sequences for Client B, and blog posts for Client C — all due this week. You switch between projects so often your Toggl timer is meaningless by Friday. Client A wants 'one more pass' on the headline — that's revision 5 on a project that included 2 rounds. You need to invoice three clients, follow up on a late payment, and somehow find time to pitch two new prospects before the retainer pipeline dries up.

Copywriters face unique challenges: Tracking time across multiple concurrent retainer clients. Scope creep on 'just tweak the headline' requests. Feast-or-famine income cycles. Clients not understanding that revisions beyond the contract cost money. On top of all that, Toggl Track charges $18/month ($216/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median copywriter earns $52,000/year. Software at $216/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Laptop and ergonomic desk setup 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.
