Leaving Siigo?

What Siigo Does Well

From Siigo's own published feature list, each with whether Nexa has an equivalent:

• Market leader — 1.2M+ customers across LATAM
• Acquired Aspel (Mexico) for cross-country reach
• DIAN electronic invoicing
  Nexa does not issue DIAN or SII e-invoices.
• Payroll module (Colombia)
  Nexa totals each employee's hours × rate into a payroll CSV, but does not run payroll: no taxes, pay stubs or payments.
• POS system integration
  Nexa has no point-of-sale or card reader.
• A free plan to start on (with limits), so you can use Siigo before paying anything.

When to Stay on Siigo

• Siigo's strengths above — market leader — 1.2M+ customers across LATAM and acquired Aspel (Mexico) for cross-country reach — are the reason you pay for it, and you like how Siigo does them. Switching tools costs time; it is not worth it to save money on something that already works for you.
• You have a team large enough that Siigo'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, with taxes and pay stubs, inside the same tool. Nexa only exports hours × rate per employee as a CSV — keep a payroll service.

What Nexa Does Not Do

• It does not run payroll. It totals hours × rate per employee into a CSV you hand to your payroll service.
• It is not hosted for you: your data lives on your device. Syncing across devices is optional Cloud Sync, $4.99/month.
• Automated emails (drip sequences, booking reminders, review requests) send only while Nexa is open on one of your devices. There is no server sending them overnight.
• No Google Calendar or QuickBooks sync. Calendars move by .ics file.
• 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.

The Cost, and Where It Comes From

Siigo: COP $2,189,900 a year for its Nube Profesional independiente accounting plan, from Siigo's own price list, checked October 2026. That is about US$56.34/month, US$676 a year and US$2,028 over 3 years if the price and the exchange rate never change. Nexa: $279 once. The break-even point is about 5 months. That is the regular price; new customers are offered 25% off. Invoicing alone (Facturación electrónica 24, up to 24 electronic documents a year) is COP $119,900 a year, about US$37; less than Nexa if invoicing is all you need, but it does not include the accounting. Dollar figures convert COP at 3,238.88 per US dollar (TRM, Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia, 2026-10-08, source); they move with the exchange rate.

Even with Cloud Sync, Nexa costs less over 3 years than Siigo at today's price.

Extra users: varies by plan.

Moving Your Data

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 Siigo's export as your record.
