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: 114 of the 116 other CRM tools grade higher. It costs $500 a year. - You could make: Sales pipeline, quotes and estimates and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: An API that other software can build on. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
