## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Cezanne HR you would be making payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

- You could make: Employee records, time off, applicant tracking, time tracking and surveys: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
