Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
