What This Stack Actually Costs You

The Tattoo Artist Stack combines Fresha with marketplace fees and Square payments into what seems like a reasonable setup — until you do the math. At $75/month, you are paying $900 in year one. At today's price, year two and year three cost the same $900 each. Over five years, this stack drains $4,500 from your business — and you never own any of it. Cancel any subscription and you lose access to your data, your client history, your templates. Everything.

The hidden cost is worse: 2 separate tools means 2 separate logins, 2 separate billing cycles, and zero integration between them. Client data lives in one app, invoicing in another, scheduling in a third. You are the integration layer — manually copying information between tools that should talk to each other. That is time you could spend on billable work.

Nexa replaces this entire stack for $279, paid once. One app. One login. One data source. Invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting — all connected. You break even in 4 months. After that, every dollar your competitors spend on The Tattoo Artist Stack is money you keep. The 30-day money-back guarantee means zero risk.
