Austin is home to about 2,350,000 people. The moderate cost of living means competitive pricing — and every dollar you keep from subscriptions matters.

Texas has no state income tax. Every dollar you save on software stays in your pocket. The $405 annual savings from switching to Nexa is real money — not reduced by state taxes.
Whether you call it payment tracking, a tool for jobs, or a invoicing system — most trading card dealers in Austin mix and match QuickBooks, Wave, Square and other monthly services. That's $684/year on recurring software. Over 5 years at today's prices, that bill reaches $3,420.
Nexa gives you the ability to stop renting software. Your CRM, payment tracking, appointment management, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — unified in one tool. One tap books a client. One tap generates an invoice. No bouncing between tools. No integration hacks. No sync fees. It's a pay once — keep more revenue immediately. For trading card dealers in Austin 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 ripped a $500 hobby box and hit a rookie auto worth $300. The rest of the cards are worth maybe $100 total. You send the auto to PSA for $50 grading. If it comes back a 10, it's worth $800. A 9 is $300. You've got $2,000 in cards at PSA right now with 3-month turnaround. Your eBay store has 400 listings. Tracking cost basis per card from box breaks requires math your spreadsheet can't handle.
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.

Open on Reddit →We build a trading card dealer'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 trading card dealer — 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.
