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: 67 of the 116 other CRM tools grade higher. It costs $240 a year. Krayin CRM is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself. - You could make: Sales pipeline: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
