When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $888/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 system for jobs, or a invoicing system — most poker coaches in Bowling Green mix and match Calendly, Acuity Scheduling, HoneyBook, FreshBooks along with other platforms. That's $888/year in subscriptions. Within 5 years at today's prices, those subscriptions total $4,440.

For poker coaches in Bowling Green 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.
At 10 I'm on a video call with a $200NL student in Europe doing hand history review, going street by street through the hands he flagged from last week, his preflop sizing from the button and a river bluff-catch where he folded too often. At 11:30 I take one of those spots into the solver and walk him through the equilibrium strategy, the range morphology on a wet board, and why a small check-raise frequency matters more than the hand he held. At 1 I prep for a $500NL client on the East Coast, pulling his database stats and marking leaks in 3-bet pots out of position. At 2 we do the session, ninety minutes, half theory and half a sweat session with me watching him play live tables and asking him to say his reasoning before each decision. At 4 I write up a theory document on turn barreling for my students, with sample hands and a simplified strategy they can use at the table. At 6 I have a short session with a tournament student in Asia on ICM spots near the bubble and push-fold ranges at fifteen big blinds. Two clients won't share their full histories, so I work from the hands they choose and say plainly what that limits. At 9 I log what each student worked on, note the next session topic for the $200NL package, answer a student who wants to talk about a downswing, and chase the invoice I sent on Tuesday.
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 a poker coach'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 poker coach — 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.
