The math doesn't lie.
Teeth Whitening Technicians deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Per-treatment supply cost ($15-25) not always tracked. Mobile events (bridal parties, corporate wellness) need different scheduling. Upselling take-home kits alongside in-office treatments. Seasonal demand around weddings and holidays. Vagaro charges $50/month on top of these daily realities. The median teeth whitening technician earns $35,000/year — $600/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 teeth whitening technicians. You own it like you own your LED whitening light.
You have 5 appointments today at your suite: 3 standard treatments ($150 each, 45 min) and 2 premium treatments ($225 each, 60 min). Supply cost per treatment is $18. Suite rent is $900/month. This Saturday you're doing a bridal party of 6 ($120 each, on-location). You sell take-home kits at $45 each. Between treatments, kit sales, and events, you have 3 revenue streams and track none of them by category.
