The math doesn't lie.
Social Media Managers deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Tracking hours across 8-15 retainer clients posting daily. Clients expecting 24/7 availability for social media 'emergencies'. Proving ROI to justify monthly retainer fees. Already paying for scheduling tools — adding invoicing software on top is painful. Toggl Track charges $18/month on top of these daily realities. The median social media manager earns $42,000/year — $216/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 social media managers. You own it like you own your Scheduling tools (Later, Buffer, Hootsuite).
You manage social media for 10 clients. Today you need to create 15 posts, respond to comments on 6 accounts, run a Facebook ad campaign, and compile a monthly analytics report for your biggest client. You switch between accounts 30 times a day — your time tracker is meaningless. Your 3pm client wants to 'hop on a quick call' about their Instagram strategy. You're already paying $40/month for Buffer and $17/month for FreshBooks — $684/year in software before you earn a dollar.
