What Alegra costs, what it does better, when to stay, and what moves if you go.
Alegra's cheapest plan that does the core job is $40/month — $480 a year, $1,440 over 3 years at today's price. Nexa is $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, tasks and accounting in one suite, so it costs less than Alegra after 7 months. What Nexa is not: software someone hosts for you with a support desk, and it does not do payroll. If Alegra's strengths below are why you pay for it, stay.

These import into Nexa by file: clients and leads (CSV); expenses (CSV); bank and card transactions (CSV, OFX, QFX, QBO); personal contacts (CSV or vCard (.vcf) — the exports from Google Contacts, Outlook and iCloud); calendar events (.ics — the export from Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, Calendly and most booking tools). Client addresses go in the Notes column for now. You re-enter once: services and price list, open invoices, upcoming jobs and recurring work, open tasks. Past invoices and job history stay in Alegra's export as your record.

At $40/month — the cheapest Alegra plan that does the core job, per Alegra's pricing page in September 2026 — it is $480 a year and $1,440 over 3 years at today's price. Nexa is $279 once.
Alegra's strengths above — market leader in colombia and 12 latam countries and dian-authorized electronic invoicing (colombia) — are the reason you pay for it. Nexa does not match Alegra there. You have a team large enough that Alegra's per-seat pricing still buys you more than owning the software outright. You want software someone else hosts, with a support desk and a roadmap you can ask for features on. Nexa is software you own and run yourself. You run payroll inside the same tool. Nexa does not do payroll — keep a payroll service.
Partly. Your client list (CSV), expenses (CSV), bank and card history (CSV, OFX, QFX, QBO), contacts and calendar (.ics) import by file. Invoices, jobs and services do not — re-enter the open ones and keep Alegra's export as your record.
No payroll. Keep a payroll service alongside it. It is not hosted for you: your data lives on your device. Syncing across devices is optional Cloud Sync, $4.99/month. Invoices, jobs and your services list do not import. Clients, expenses, bank history, contacts and calendar do; the rest you re-enter once. No vendor support desk or roadmap to lobby — you buy it once and own it.
