## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Follow Up Boss 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. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 51 of the 72 other CRM tools grade higher. It costs $696 a year.

- You could make: Sales pipeline and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: One mailbox that several people work at once.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
