What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 69 of the 114 other calendar and scheduling apps grade higher. - You could make: Appointment booking, class booking and invoicing: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Booking pages that read and write other people's calendars and send the emails. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It plugs into other products, WordPress, WooCommerce and Squarespace among them, and has an API. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
