## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Payhawk you would be making cards issued through a bank. 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: 26 of the 51 other spend and bill pay tools grade higher.

- You could make: Expense tracking: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Cards issued through a bank.
- You could not: Money moved between bank accounts, which takes a licensed payments partner.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
