That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $59.88 a year. - You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A video editor. - You could not: Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: Several people working in it at the same moment. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
