That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $180 a year. - You could make: Appointment booking, inventory, review collection and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Texts to thousands of numbers, registered with the carriers. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
