It costs $60 a year. - You could make: Calendar and appointment booking: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: Booking pages that read and write other people's calendars and send the emails. - You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
