When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $660/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 platform for jobs, or a invoicing system — most drag designers in Broken Arrow mix and match HoneyBook, Wave, Square along with other platforms. That's $660/year paying for software subscriptions. Within 5 years at today's prices, that adds up to $3,300.
Nexa means you own your business software. Your CRM, payment tracking, appointment management, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — under one roof in a single platform. One drag books a client. One drag generates an invoice. No duplicate data entry. No middleware. No integration tax. It's a single payment — eliminate recurring fees from day one. For drag designers in Broken Arrow 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're stoning a pageant gown — 2,000 rhinestones at $0.08 each ($160 in stones alone). Fabric was $120. You've been working 6 hours and you're halfway through stoning. The performer needs it in 4 days for a show. You quoted $800 and you're now realizing you'll have 20+ hours in this gown. Another queen wants a custom reveal outfit for a gig next weekend. Your fitting schedule is a text thread.
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 drag 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 a drag 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Found something out of date?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.
