## Keep it, or make your own?

**Your call.** You could make the core of Tilaa for yourself: job scheduling. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $170.80 a year.

- You could make: Job scheduling: an app builder makes this well.
- You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
- You could not: Databases with views, filters and links between them.
