Minnesota has a 5.35-9.85% income tax. Progressive income tax up to 9.85% (one of highest in US). High quality of life attracts talent. Minneapolis-St. Paul is major metro. Cold climate increases operating costs.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $1,356/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 platform for jobs, or a invoicing system — most infographic designers in Bloomington mix and match HoneyBook, FreshBooks, Toggl Track, Harvest and similar apps. That's $1,356/year paying for software subscriptions. Over 5 years at today's prices, those subscriptions total $6,780.
Nexa means you stop renting software. Your CRM, billing, appointment management, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — unified in one platform. One move books a client. One move generates an invoice. No switching tabs. No third-party glue. No add-on costs. It's a no subscription — eliminate recurring fees from day one. For infographic designers in Bloomington 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.
I start by re-reading the brief because a SaaS company's 'State of Remote Work' report landed overnight with twelve charts and zero priority order. First two hours are pure data wrangling: I pull their survey numbers into a sheet, sanity-check the percentages so they actually add to 100, and flag two stats that contradict each other for the account manager. Then I sketch the flow on paper, because an infographic lives or dies on the eye traveling top to bottom in the right order. Midday I'm in Illustrator building the modular sections, snapping a bar chart to a baseline grid and hand-redrawing icons so they share one stroke weight instead of the mismatched set the client found on a free site. Afternoon is the inevitable revision round, the client wants their logo bigger and a new funding stat squeezed near the headline, which means re-balancing the whole top third. Before I log off I export the three formats they always forget to ask for until 5pm, a print CMYK PDF, a sliced web version, and a vertical social cut, then I label the files clearly so nobody emails me asking which is which.
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 infographic designer'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 infographic designer — 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.
