Acuity costs $33/month ($396/year). Here's why microblading artists are leaving.
That's $1,328 gone in 3 years. And you don't own anything. Stop paying, lose access.
That's 16 hours of a microblading artist's work every year — just to pay for Acuity.
Now add $33/month to Acuity on top of that. At median microblading artist earnings ($52,000/year), that is 16 hours of work annually — just for software that does not solve half these problems.
Microblading Artists need these. Acuity doesn't include them — you'd pay for another subscription.
Nexa includes all of this for $279 once.

For solo microblading artists and small teams (1-5 people), yes. Nexa includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. Acuity lacks Invoicing and CRM — Nexa includes both. Acuity may be better if you have a large team (10+) or need enterprise-specific features.
Four steps: export your data, set up helix scheduler, update your links, cancel acuity. Most microblading artists are fully switched in 1-2 days. You can run both in parallel until you're confident — cancel Acuity only when you're ready.
Export everything before canceling. Nexa imports client lists, invoices, and expenses from CSV. Your data stays yours — unlike Acuity, where losing access means losing everything.
The median microblading artist earns $52,000/year. Acuity at $396/year represents 16 hours of work annually — just for software. Nexa at $279 once is 0.5% of annual income, paid one time. After that, it's free forever.
Acuity is a subscription — you pay every month, the price goes up every year, and if you stop paying, you lose access to everything. Your client list, your invoices, your financial history. Gone. That is not ownership. That is renting your own business data.
Nexa is $279 once — or $99 today and two more payments. Your data lives on your device. Everything is integrated: scheduling connects to CRM, jobs auto-generate invoices, time tracking feeds your accounting. No Zapier. No copying between apps. One purchase, own it forever. 30-day money-back guarantee means zero risk.
