That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 159 of the 168 other AI image and video generators we grade. It costs $59.88 a year. - You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other. - You could not: An API that other software can build on. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
