Arkansas has a 2-4.7% income tax. Progressive income tax up to 4.7%. Low cost of living. State and local sales tax combined can reach 11.5% (highest effective rate in US).
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $1,356/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 billing, a system for jobs, or a invoicing system — most motion graphics artists in Fayetteville piece together HoneyBook, FreshBooks, Toggl Track, Harvest along with other platforms. That's $1,356/year in subscriptions. Within 5 years at today's prices, that bill reaches $6,780.
Nexa means you own your business software. Your CRM, billing, scheduling, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — unified in one system. One click books a client. One click generates an invoice. No copying between apps. No integration hacks. No integration tax. It's a pay once — stop overpaying immediately. For motion graphics artists in Fayetteville 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.
9am notes from yesterday's review — 14 revision requests on a 30-second explainer. Noon render queue starts; a Cinema 4D scene will tie up the workstation for 4 hours. 2pm switch to AE on a different client. 4pm second client asks for a "small tweak" that's three new scenes. 6pm Frame.io feedback drops on the first project. 8pm start tomorrow's render — it'll go until 6am.
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.

We build a motion graphics artist'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 motion graphics artist — 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.
