## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace FitBudd 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. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 75 of the 85 other salon, spa and studio booking apps we grade. It costs $180 a year.

- You could make: Habit tracking, appointment booking and class booking: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: Video calls.
- You could not: A members' space with posts, chat and events that people keep coming back to.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
