Keep Loxo, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Loxo you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $1,788 a year.
What you could make
- Applicant tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Chrome extension and MCP among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Loxo’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.
