## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Celoxis you could make: Gantt & timelines, time tracking, reports and invoicing. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 66 of the 111 other project management tools grade higher. It costs $120 a year.

- You could make: Gantt & timelines, time tracking, reports and invoicing: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Jira, Azure DevOps and QuickBooks Online among them, and has an API.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
