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 60 of the 80 other online store builders we grade. It costs $251.99 a year. - You could make: Inventory: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. - You could not: The WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners. - You could not: Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier. - You could not: It plugs into other products, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook among them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
