When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $684/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 app flippers in Bend string together QuickBooks, Wave, FreshBooks, Square and similar apps. That's $684/year in tool subscriptions. In half a decade at today's prices, that stack costs $3,420.
Nexa lets you break free from monthly fees. Your CRM, invoice management, booking, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — in a single app. One click books a client. One click generates an invoice. No copying between apps. No integration hacks. Zero integration overhead. It's a buy once — stop overpaying the moment you switch. For app flippers in Bend 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.
An app flipper trades on metrics most people never see. Morning is the consoles: App Store Connect and Play Console side by side, checking yesterday's downloads, in-app purchases, and the subscription churn number that quietly decides whether an app is worth holding. RevenueCat shows a cohort of subscribers lapsing on a utility app, which is a problem if the plan was to sell it on its recurring revenue. Midday is acquisition diligence: a listing on Acquire.com claims steady MRR, so the flipper asks for analytics access, checks whether downloads are organic or paid, and probes the churn, because a high-churn subscription app is a leaky bucket dressed up as recurring income. Afternoon brings an ownership transfer that's mid-flight; transferring an app between developer accounts has its own rules, and this one is stuck because the receiving account hasn't accepted, so the flipper chases the buyer and confirms the agreements are signed. There's also ASO housekeeping on an app being groomed for sale, refreshing keywords and the screenshot set to nudge organic installs upward before listing. A new iOS beta dropped, which raises the perennial fear that an OS change breaks one of the apps, so a quick compatibility check goes on the list. The day ends tallying per-app revenue and churn into the portfolio tracker and noting which apps are sale-ready and which need another month of stabilized numbers.
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 an app flipper'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 an app flipper — 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.
