Keep Chili Piper, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Chili Piper you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 85 of the 89 other calendar and scheduling apps grade higher. It costs $15,000 a year.
What you could make
- Calendar, appointment booking and sales pipeline: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Booking pages that read and write other people's calendars and send the emails.
- A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Chili Piper’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
