Washington has no state income tax. Every dollar you save on software stays in your pocket. The $177 annual savings from switching to Nexa is real money — not reduced by state taxes.
Whether you call it payment tracking, a platform for jobs, or a invoicing system — most home bakers in Everett stack up Square, QuickBooks, Wave, FreshBooks plus other subscriptions. That's $456/year paying for software subscriptions. Across five years at today's prices, those subscriptions total $2,280.
Nexa gives you the ability to exit the subscription trap. Your CRM, payment tracking, scheduling, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — unified in one platform. One drag books a client. One drag generates an invoice. No manual re-entry. No duct-tape integrations. No integration tax. It's a no subscription — keep more revenue from day one. For home bakers in Everett 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 3 custom cake orders this weekend — a birthday cake, a baby shower cake, and two dozen cupcakes for a corporate event. The birthday cake client changed the flavor yesterday and you already bought ingredients. You need to price the corporate cupcakes but butter went up 20% since your last order. The baby shower client wants delivery 45 minutes away — did you charge a delivery fee? Your costs are tracked in a notebook, your orders come through Instagram DMs, and invoicing is Venmo requests sent manually.
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 home baker'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 home baker — 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Found something out of date?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.
