The Caterer Stack combines HoneyBook Essentials and QuickBooks Simple Start for $97/month ($1,164/year). Over 3 years at today's price, that's $3,492.

The Caterer Stack combines HoneyBook Essentials and QuickBooks Simple Start into what seems like a reasonable setup — until you do the math. At $97/month, you are paying $1,164 in year one. At today's price, year two and year three cost the same $1,164 each. Over five years, this stack drains $5,820 from your business — and you never own any of it. Cancel any subscription and you lose access to your data, your client history, your templates. Everything.
The hidden cost is worse: 2 separate tools means 2 separate logins, 2 separate billing cycles, and zero integration between them. Client data lives in one app, invoicing in another, scheduling in a third. You are the integration layer — manually copying information between tools that should talk to each other. That is time you could spend on billable work.
Nexa replaces this entire stack for $279, paid once. One app. One login. One data source. Invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting — all connected. You break even in 3 months. After that, every dollar your competitors spend on The Caterer Stack is money you keep. The 30-day money-back guarantee means zero risk.
Yes. Nexa includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. It was designed specifically for solopreneurs who are tired of paying for 2 separate subscriptions that do not talk to each other. $279 once covers everything The Caterer Stack does — and more.
The Caterer Stack at $97/month costs $3,492 over 3 years and $5,820 over 5 years at today's price. Nexa is $279 once — total. You save $3,213 over 3 years. The math is not close.
