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: 56 of the 72 other CRM tools grade higher. It costs $588 a year. - You could make: Tasks, sales pipeline and templates: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
