## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of HandiFox you could make: inventory, invoicing and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It costs $588 a year.

- You could make: Inventory, invoicing and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
