## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Valant you would be making insurance claims sent to payers through a clearinghouse. 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: 30 of the 38 other therapy and clinic software grade higher.

- You could make: Clinical notes, appointment booking and forms: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Insurance claims sent to payers through a clearinghouse.
- You could not: Video sessions that meet health privacy rules.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
