New York has a 4-10.9% income tax. Progressive income tax up to 10.9%. NYC adds 3.08-3.88% city income tax. Self-employment tax burden among highest in US. MTA payroll tax in metro area. High workers comp rates.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $840/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 lactation consultants in Buffalo patch together Acuity Scheduling, HoneyBook, Wave and similar apps. That's $840/year on recurring software. In half a decade at today's prices, that bill reaches $4,200.
Nexa lets you break free from monthly fees. Your CRM, payment tracking, appointment management, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — unified in one platform. One move books a client. One move generates an invoice. No manual re-entry. No Zapier. Zero integration overhead. It's a single payment — stop overpaying immediately. For lactation consultants in Buffalo 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 have 4 visits today: 2 home visits ($200 each, 90 min plus 30 min travel), 1 office visit ($150, 60 min), and 1 telehealth ($125, 45 min). A new mom called in tears at 6am — you squeezed her in. One client wants to file insurance for reimbursement and needs a superbill. You rent breast pumps ($30/month) and sell supplies. Between consultations, insurance paperwork, and supply management, your systems are a calendar app and a notepad.
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 lactation consultant'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 lactation consultant — 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.
