The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/online-stores ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Orckestra you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. 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: 76 of the 80 other online store builders grade higher. - You could make: Inventory: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
