The math doesn't lie.
House Cleaners deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Managing recurring biweekly and monthly schedules across 20+ homes. Last-minute cancellations that leave gaps in the day. Getting paid consistently — chasing checks and Venmo requests. Tracking supply expenses when you buy from three different stores. ZenMaid charges $49/month and still doesn't do invoicing well. Housecall Pro charges $99/month on top of these daily realities. The median house cleaner earns $32,000/year — $1,188/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 house cleaners. You own it like you own your Vacuum (commercial-grade Miele or Dyson).
It's Monday and you have 3 houses today, but your 11am just cancelled 20 minutes ago. You could fit in your Wednesday regular but she's hard to reach. You clean the first house, collect payment via Venmo, but forget to log the supply cost for the specialty granite cleaner you bought this morning. By the end of the week you've cleaned 12 houses and have no clear record of what you earned versus spent.

For solo house cleaners and small teams, yes. invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting — all for $279 once. Housecall Pro may be better if you have a large team (10+) or need enterprise-specific features.
Housecall Pro has features like Online booking for home services and GPS tracking that some businesses rely on. For most solo house cleaners, these aren't dealbreakers.
At $99/month, Nexa pays for itself in 2.8 months. After that: $1,188 saved every year.
Yes. Nexa is $279 as a one-time payment, or 3 payments of $99 ($297 total). Either way it's a one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring fees ever.
