You own your Glass furnace or torch setup. You bought it once. Why are you renting your invoicing?
$71/month. Every month. Forever. That's not a tool — that's a tax.
Professional invoicing with payment tracking, reminders, and automated follow-ups. Plus scheduling, CRM, task management, and a full QuickBooks-style accounting suite. All connected. All yours. Forever.
The average glassblower pays QuickBooks ($55/mo), Wave ($16/mo) — a total of $71/month or $852 per year. With SaaS prices rising 11.4% annually (five times general inflation), that stack will cost $2,858 over three years and $5,348 over five. Nexa replaces all of it for $279, paid once. You break even in 3.9 months. After that, every dollar your competitors spend on subscriptions is money you keep. At median glassblower earnings, $852/year in software represents 52 hours of work — time spent earning money just to hand it to SaaS companies for tools you never own.
Finish the job, tap the saved service, add any extras, send. The customer pays from the link before you've left the driveway. The longer an invoice sits, the lower the odds it's paid in full — speed is the collection strategy.

The median glassblower earns $34,000/year. Software subscriptions at $852/year represent 2.5% of that income — every single year. Nexa at $279 once is 0.82% of annual income, paid one time. The difference compounds every year you operate.
Most glassblowers cobble together 3-5 separate apps — one for scheduling, one for invoicing, one for bookkeeping, maybe another for client management. Each one charges monthly. None of them talk to each other. So you end up copying client info between apps, manually reconciling invoices with your books, and losing track of details that fall through the cracks.
For the way a glassblower actually works, Nexa keeps one record instead of five logins. You finish the job and the invoice generates from that same record — no retyping into a second app between calls. The hours feed your P&L automatically, a client who books online lands in your CRM with their history, and the Glass furnace or torch setup you bought once is finally matched by software you buy once. The "gas and electricity costs for furnace operation are enormous" problem goes away. No Zapier, no CSV exports. $279 once — or $99 today and two more — and the whole integrated system is yours, break-even in 3.9 months. 30-day money-back guarantee. And because there's nothing to renew, a glassblower who switches keeps paying $0/month while competitors keep paying $71/month — that gap compounds every year you own it.
