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: 54 of the 72 other lead and email finders grade higher. - You could make: Sales pipeline: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A library of papers and sources to search. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Office 365 and SharePoint among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
