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 2.8 is higher than 16 of the 18 other course and community platforms we grade. It costs $708 a year. - You could make: Online courses and forms: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. - You could not: Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. - You could not: A members' space with posts, chat and events that people keep coming back to. - 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, Stripe, PayPal and Zoom among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
