| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Pro is $14 a month for 1 named user, between the category's dearer quarter at $10.95 and its dearest tenth at $24.90. The page doesn't say if that's billed monthly. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Guest meetings are free with no sign-up, but limited to 20 minutes and 10 people. A 30-day trial covers the paid plans. |
| Features | C | Shared canvas, co-browsing, voice and an API. It does the meeting-whiteboard job, with voice minutes capped from 600 to 12,000 a month. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating on record, but a guest can start a meeting with no sign-up and nothing to set up. |

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Twiddla you would be making video calls. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $168 a year.
What you could not
- Video calls.
- An endless canvas that stays smooth with hundreds of things on it.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. Twiddla’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
