When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $588/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Harsh winters drive heating and plumbing emergencies. Construction limited November-March in northern IL. Chicago wind and freeze-thaw cycles create ongoing repair demand.
TV Mounters in Champaign should plan their cash flow around these patterns. Nexa's budget envelope system helps you set aside revenue during peak season to cover slow months — something Jobber can't do because it charges you regardless $42/month whether you have clients or not.
Whether you call it invoice management, a app for jobs, or a invoicing system — most tv mounters in Champaign juggle Jobber, Square, Housecall Pro, QuickBooks and similar apps. That's $588/year in SaaS payments. In half a decade at today's prices, you're looking at $2,940.
Nexa lets you break free from monthly fees. Your CRM, invoice management, booking, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — combined into one app. One move books a client. One move generates an invoice. No manual re-entry. No Zapier. Zero integration overhead. It's a one-time purchase — stop overpaying starting today. For tv mounters in Champaign 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 do 5-6 TV mounts today, scattered across the city. Job one is straightforward — bracket, mount, done in 45 minutes. Job two has a brick fireplace — that's an upcharge you didn't quote because the customer said 'drywall.' Job four wants you to run cables through the wall and set up their Apple TV. By 5pm you've done 5 jobs, driven 60 miles, and need to invoice all of them. Jobber charges $69/month for 5-minute jobs — the per-job software cost is absurd.
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 tv mounter'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 tv mounter — 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.
