New York has a 4-10.9% income tax. Progressive income tax up to 10.9%. NYC adds 3.08-3.88% city income tax. Self-employment tax burden among highest in US. MTA payroll tax in metro area. High workers comp rates.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $900/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it invoice management, a app for jobs, or a invoicing system — most refaccionarias in Albany cobble together Aspel, CONTPAQi, Bind ERP plus other subscriptions. That's $900/year in SaaS payments. Across five years at today's prices, you're looking at $4,500.
Nexa gives you the ability to exit the subscription trap. Your CRM, invoice management, calendar tool, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — in a single app. A single action books a client. A single action generates an invoice. No copying between apps. No third-party glue. No integration tax. It's a one-time purchase — save money from the first day. For refaccionarias in Albany weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
Mechanics call or walk in needing parts NOW. Look up in catalog. Check stock. If not in stock, order. Credit extended. Paid next week. Maybe.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a refaccionario's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a refaccionario — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
