The math doesn't lie.
Massage Therapists deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Mindbody costs $139+/month for features designed for yoga studios and gyms. Managing package sessions and gift certificate tracking. SOAP notes and client health history documentation. Back-to-back scheduling without buffer time leads to burnout. Mindbody charges $219/month on top of these daily realities. The median massage therapist earns $49,000/year — $2,628/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 massage therapists. You own it like you own your Massage table (portable and/or stationary).
You have 6 clients today, back-to-back 60-minute sessions with 15-minute buffers. Your 11am bought a 5-pack and you think this is session 4 — but did she use one as a gift for her mom? Your 2pm is a new client with a shoulder injury who needs an intake form and health history review. You're changing sheets, checking notes, and resetting the room in 15 minutes between every session. Mindbody charges you $139/month and half the features are for yoga class management you'll never use.

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.
