When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $2,640/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 billing, a tool for jobs, or a invoicing system — most newlyweds in Ann Arbor mix and match ynab, QuickBooks, mint-legacy, honeydue and similar apps. That's $2,640/year paying for software subscriptions. Over 5 years at today's prices, that adds up to $13,200.
Nexa means you stop renting software. Your CRM, billing, appointment management, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — all in one tool. One move books a client. One move generates an invoice. No manual re-entry. No Zapier. No add-on costs. It's a pay once — stop overpaying immediately. For newlyweds in Ann Arbor 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.
You just got back from the honeymoon. Credit card statement arrives: $4,200 from the wedding overflow plus $1,800 from the trip. You both have direct deposit going to separate banks. Rent is due from the joint account but neither of you transferred enough. You try Honeydue — it crashes syncing your accounts. You try a shared Google Sheet — neither of you updates it. You need one place where both of you can see everything without fighting about it.
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.

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 newlywed couple — 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Found something out of date?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.
