Quicken costs $6/month ($72/year). Here's why retirees are leaving.
That's $241 gone in 3 years. And you don't own anything. Stop paying, lose access.
That's 3 hours of a retiree's work every year — just to pay for Quicken.
Now add $6/month to Quicken on top of that. At median retiree earnings ($48,000/year), that is 3 hours of work annually — just for software that does not solve half these problems.
Quicken is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?
Here's the math: Quicken at $6/month costs $72 in year one, $80 in year two (11.4% SaaS inflation), and $89 in year three. That's $241 gone in 3 years — and you don't own anything. Stop paying, lose access to your data, your clients, your history. Everything.
Nexa is $279 once. Invoicing, scheduling, CRM, accounting, time tracking — all connected, all offline-capable, all yours. You break even in 46.5 months. After that, Quicken users keep paying $6 every month while you keep $-38 over 3 years. The 30-day money-back guarantee means zero risk: if Nexa doesn't work for your retiree business, full refund.

For solo retirees and small teams (1-5 people), yes. Nexa includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. Quicken covers some of this but charges monthly forever. Quicken may be better if you have a large team (10+) or need enterprise-specific features.
Export your data as CSV, import into Nexa. Most retirees are fully switched in 1-2 days. You can run both in parallel until you're confident — cancel Quicken only when you're ready.
Export everything before canceling. Nexa imports client lists, invoices, and expenses from CSV. Your data stays yours — unlike Quicken, where losing access means losing everything.
The median retiree earns $48,000/year. Quicken at $72/year represents 3 hours of work annually — just for software. Nexa at $279 once is 0.6% of annual income, paid one time. After that, it's free forever.
Quicken 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.
