## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Elorus you could make: invoicing, time tracking, expense tracking, quotes and estimates and inventory. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 94 of the 127 other accounting and invoicing tools we grade. It costs $84 a year.

- You could make: Invoicing, time tracking, expense tracking, quotes and estimates and inventory: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Stripe, Braintree and PayPal among them, and has an API.
