Nothing on its listing is beyond a weekend of building. It costs $2,388 a year. An AI app builder starts at about $20 a month on our listings, and you only need it while you build. Amazee.io is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself. - You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
