When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $828/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 payment tracking, a tool for jobs, or a invoicing system — most infrared sauna operators in Bend stack up Vagaro, Acuity Scheduling, Square, HoneyBook and other monthly services. That's $828/year on recurring software. Over the next 5 years at today's prices, that adds up to $4,140.
Nexa lets you own your tools. Your CRM, payment tracking, scheduling, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — all in one tool. A single action books a client. A single action generates an invoice. No bouncing between tools. No middleware. No per-connection charges. It's a single payment — cut costs immediately. For infrared sauna operators 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.
She powers on the cabins early so the far-infrared panels reach temperature before the first appointment, sets the chromotherapy to a calm blue, and lays out towels and cold water. Mornings skew toward members: a woman on an unlimited plan who sweats forty minutes most days, a couple who booked the larger cabin together for a Sunday wind-down. Each session is forty minutes inside, then the cabin needs to cool and get wiped down before the next person, so she choreographs rooms like a puzzle to avoid sending someone into a wet, hot box. She reminds a first-timer to drink water and step out if she feels lightheaded, and screens a pregnant client out of the heat entirely. Between sessions she wipes benches, swaps towels, runs the air purifier, and checks the timer on each room. A walk-in wants to try a single session, so she sells a day pass and notes it. Midday she fields texts about whether someone's class pack still has credits left. She keeps water and electrolytes stocked, the cabins humming at the right temperature, and the turnover tight enough that nobody's ever waiting on a room that isn't ready.
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 infrared sauna operator'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 infrared sauna operator — 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.
