## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace RhinoFit you would be making texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. 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 2.4 is higher than 58 of the 85 other salon, spa and studio booking apps we grade. It costs $684 a year.

- You could make: Class booking, appointment booking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers.
- You could not: Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
