What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. - You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
