What This Means for Well Drillers

You're drilling a residential well — per-foot pricing at $15/foot with a $3,000 minimum. At 180 feet you haven't hit adequate water flow. Customer is anxious. Your rig maintenance is $500/month average. Casing and screen for this well is $800 in materials. You have 3 more wells scheduled this month and 2 pump replacement service calls. Equipment depreciation on your $150K rig is your biggest hidden cost.

Well Drillers deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Per-foot pricing with unknown total depth. Equipment maintenance on rigs worth $100K+. Permit requirements and lead times. Customer expectations when drilling hits rock or poor water. Jobber charges $69/month on top of these daily realities. The median well driller earns $55,000/year — $828/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 well drillers. You own it like you own your Drilling rig.

Why well drillers leave the big platforms

quickbooks: $55/month and can't handle per-foot variable billing or equipment depreciation tracking.
freshbooks: $33/month for invoicing that can't calculate variable-depth pricing.
