Maryland has a 2-5.75% income tax. Progressive income tax up to 5.75% plus county income tax (2.25-3.2%). DC metro spillover creates high demand. High cost of living in Montgomery/Howard counties.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $408/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 invoicing, a program for tutoring hours, or a charging per hour system — most tutors in Baltimore juggle Acuity Scheduling, Calendly, Square, QuickBooks and other tools. That's $408/year in tool subscriptions. Within 5 years at today's prices, that stack costs $2,040.
With Nexa, you own your business software. Your CRM, invoicing, booking, tutoring hours, time tracking, and financial tools — wrapped into one program. One tap books a client. One tap generates an invoice. No bouncing between tools. No integration hacks. Zero integration overhead. It's a buy once — keep more revenue starting today. For tutors in Baltimore 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 tutor 6 students today — SAT prep at 3pm, algebra at 4pm, chemistry at 5pm, and three more in the evening. Mom of your 4pm texts that little Timmy has soccer practice — can you reschedule? Your 5pm student's parents bought a 10-session package and you think this is session 7. Your 7pm is a new student and the parents want to observe the first session. You're using Calendly for scheduling, Venmo for payment, and a notebook for tracking sessions. Nothing talks to anything else.
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 tutor'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 tutor — 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.
