Keep Aloha, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Aloha you could make: review collection, appointment booking and forms. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 56 of the 63 other customer review tools grade higher. It costs $3,588 a year.
What you could make
- Review collection, appointment booking and forms: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Aloha’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
