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: 34 of the 44 other affiliate and referral tools grade higher. - You could not: Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Shopify among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
