The math doesn't lie.
Translators deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Billing per word vs per hour vs per page depending on the client. Tracking time across multiple simultaneous translation projects. Translation agencies paying net-60 or net-90. Managing terminology consistency across long-term client projects. Toggl Track charges $18/month on top of these daily realities. The median translator earns $52,000/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 translators. You own it like you own your CAT tools (SDL Trados, MemoQ, Smartcat).
You're translating a legal document at $0.12/word, a marketing brochure at $0.15/word, and a technical manual billed hourly. Each project has different pricing, different word counts, and different deadlines. You switch between projects three times today. One agency payment is 75 days overdue. You need to invoice the direct client for the brochure but your word count tool says 2,400 words and the client counted 2,200. FreshBooks charges per client and you're on the edge of needing the next tier.

At $18/month, Nexa pays for itself in 15.5 months. After that: $216 saved every year.
