You're not the only one who's had enough.
Mobile Notaries face unique challenges: Coordinating signings across multiple title companies, borrowers, and locations. Tracking mileage deductions — every signing is a different location. Snapdocs takes a massive cut and keeps lowering signing fees. Managing availability across Snapdocs, NotaryGadget, and direct clients. Invoicing direct clients while title company payments come through platforms. On top of all that, Wave charges $16/month ($192/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median mobile notary earns $55,000/year. Software at $192/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Notary stamp and seal 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've got a refinance signing at 10am across town, a loan modification at 2pm, and a direct client who needs a power of attorney notarized at their home at 5pm. You're confirming the loan docs arrived, printing 180 pages at Staples because your portable printer jammed, and trying to figure out how to invoice the direct client when you normally get paid through Snapdocs. Your Calendly lets people book you but doesn't know about your Snapdocs schedule, so someone just double-booked your 2pm slot.
