That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $290 a year. - You could make: Digital downloads, inventory and templates: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Stripe, PayPal and PayU among them, and has an API.
