The math doesn't lie.
Landscapers deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Managing 40-80 recurring weekly mowing accounts. Seasonal revenue swings — mowing season vs winter. Underbidding landscaping installs due to poor time tracking. Fuel and equipment maintenance costs eating margins. Housecall Pro charges $99/month on top of these daily realities. The median landscaper earns $38,000/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 landscapers. You own it like you own your Commercial mower (zero-turn or stand-on).
It's Wednesday and you have 18 lawns on today's route. Yard #5 wants a mulch estimate while you're mowing. Yard #11 has a dog out so you skip it and need to reschedule. Your trimmer line ran out and you're making an unplanned supply run. By 6pm you've mowed 16 yards, skipped 2, quoted 1 mulch job, and haven't invoiced your biweekly clients who were due last Friday. LMN wants $50/month and you still can't figure out the estimating module.

For solo landscapers 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 landscapers, 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.
