You're not the only one who's had enough.
Crochet Sellers face unique challenges: Hours per piece make fair pricing seem 'too expensive' to buyers. Yarn costs vary wildly by fiber and weight. Pattern development time is never compensated. Etsy algorithm buries handmade in a sea of mass-produced imports. On top of all that, Wave charges $16/month ($192/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median crochet seller earns $20,000/year. Software at $192/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Crochet hooks in various 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.
Wave is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?

You spent 8 hours crocheting a baby blanket. Yarn cost was $22. You list it for $65 on Etsy — already feeling guilty about the price because Amazon sells mass-produced blankets for $15. After Etsy fees, your net is $55. That's $4.13/hour for your skilled labor. Your amigurumi toys sell for $25 and take 3 hours — better hourly rate but lower total. You don't track any of this and your shop 'feels' profitable.
