Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace FaxCore you would be making fax numbers connected to the phone network. 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: 24 of the 24 other online fax services grade higher.
What you could not
- Fax numbers connected to the phone network.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. FaxCore’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.
