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: 33 of the 33 other shipping software grade higher. It costs $4,080 a year. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
