What Method CRM costs, what it does better, when to stay, and what moves if you go.
Method CRM's cheapest plan that does the core job is $59/month — $708 a year, $2,124 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 Method CRM after 5 months. What Nexa is not: software someone hosts for you with a support desk, and it does not do payroll. If Method CRM's strengths below are why you pay for it, stay.

Extra users: Priced entirely per user.
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 Method CRM's export as your record.
Every import, with templates: Bring your data. Keep Method CRM running until Nexa checks out.
At $59/month — the cheapest Method CRM plan that does the core job, per Method CRM's pricing page in July 2026 — it is $708 a year and $2,124 over 3 years at today's price. Nexa is $279 once.
Method CRM's strengths above — two-way quickbooks sync and customisable without code — are the reason you pay for it. Nexa does not match Method CRM there. You have a team large enough that Method CRM'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 Method CRM'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.
