The math doesn't lie.
TV Mounters deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Jobs are quick (30-90 minutes) but scheduling and invoicing overhead per job is disproportionate. Driving across town for a $150 job barely covers time and gas. Customers wanting cable management, soundbar install, and smart home setup as add-ons. Managing same-day booking requests — TV mounting is often urgent. Square charges $29/month on top of these daily realities. The median TV mounter earns $38,000/year — $348/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 tv mounters. You own it like you own your Stud finder (electronic/magnetic).
You do 5-6 TV mounts today, scattered across the city. Job one is straightforward — bracket, mount, done in 45 minutes. Job two has a brick fireplace — that's an upcharge you didn't quote because the customer said 'drywall.' Job four wants you to run cables through the wall and set up their Apple TV. By 5pm you've done 5 jobs, driven 60 miles, and need to invoice all of them. Jobber charges $69/month for 5-minute jobs — the per-job software cost is absurd.
