The math doesn't lie.
Senior Companions deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Scheduling recurring visits across multiple clients. Family members as contacts while the senior is the client. Tracking hours accurately for billing families. Managing holidays, sick days, and schedule changes. Acuity Scheduling charges $33/month on top of these daily realities. The median senior companion earns $28,000/year — $396/year in software subscriptions is a significant percentage of that income, paid every year, forever.
Nexa is $279 once. Invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, accounting — all connected, built for senior companions. You own it like you own your Reliable vehicle.
