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 payment tracking, a tool for jobs, or a invoicing system — most leather workers in Boise piece together QuickBooks, Wave, Square along with other platforms. That's $684/year paying for software subscriptions. In half a decade at today's prices, those subscriptions total $3,420.
Switching to Nexa lets you break free from monthly fees. Your CRM, payment tracking, scheduling, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — unified in one tool. One drag books a client. One drag generates an invoice. No duplicate data entry. No middleware. No sync fees. It's a pay once — eliminate recurring fees from day one. For leather workers in Boise 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 bought a $180 veg-tan side to cut wallets and belts. You'll get about 8 wallets and 4 belts from it, plus scraps. Each wallet takes 2 hours of cutting, stitching, burnishing, and finishing. You sell wallets for $85 on Etsy. Your leather cost per wallet is roughly $12, hardware is $3, but your 2 hours of labor is the real cost. After Etsy fees, you net $68 per wallet. For 2 hours, that's $34/hour — good, but only because you're not counting the 30 minutes of cutting waste and pattern layout.
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 leather worker'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 leather worker — 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Found something out of date?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.
