The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/expenses ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Tradeshift you would be making money moved between bank accounts, which takes a licensed payments partner. 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: 60 of the 76 other spend and bill pay tools grade higher. - You could make: Invoicing: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Money moved between bank accounts, which takes a licensed payments partner. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
