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 fursuit makers in Chandler mix and match HoneyBook, Wave, QuickBooks and similar apps. That's $660/year on recurring software. In half a decade at today's prices, that bill reaches $3,300.
Nexa lets you break free from monthly fees. Your CRM, payment tracking, appointment management, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — unified in one platform. A single action books a client. A single action generates an invoice. No bouncing between tools. No middleware. Zero integration overhead. It's a no subscription — cut costs immediately. For fursuit makers in Chandler 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 a 14-month waitlist. The current build is a full digitigrade suit — 200+ hours, $400 in materials. The client paid a $500 deposit on a $3,000 commission. You're 80 hours in and the client wants to change the eye color. Your waitlist is managed in a Google Sheet and clients DM you for updates. Three deposits are sitting in your account and you're not sure which ones have been allocated to materials.
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 fursuit maker'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 fursuit maker — 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Found something out of date?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.
