- Watch out: custom intake forms and the request portal only arrive on In-House at $36.75 a user
- Not for you if you need phone apps or integrations, as none are listed

Keep FunctionFox, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of FunctionFox you could make: time tracking, Gantt & timelines, reports, tasks, invoicing and forms. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 69 of the 69 other time tracking apps grade higher. It costs $126 a year.
What you could make
- Time tracking, Gantt & timelines, reports, tasks, invoicing and forms: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
What this rests on. FunctionFox’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.
