Why This Matters for PR Consultants

You manage PR for 4 retainer clients ($2,500-$5,000/month each). Today: write a press release for Client A, pitch 15 journalists for Client B, prep Client C for a podcast interview, and handle a crisis mention for Client D. Muck Rack costs $400/month. You spent 3 hours on Client D's crisis that wasn't in scope. Your time tracking is sporadic and retainer hours aren't logged consistently.

PR Consultants face unique challenges: Monthly retainer clients with vague deliverables and scope creep. Media database subscriptions ($300-500/month) eating margins. Proving ROI on PR when results are placements, not revenue. Managing media contacts and pitch tracking. On top of all that, Toggl Track charges $18/month ($216/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median PR consultant earns $60,000/year. Software at $216/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Media database subscription (Cision, Muck Rack) 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.
