Whether the tools above are bad enough to displace. Star ratings cannot answer it: every category we measured averages between 4.25 and 4.71 stars, because vendors ask happy customers for reviews. We would rather say so plainly than guess at it. What we tried.
This one says build, which means the evidence is there. It does not mean it is easy, and it is not a customer. The next step is talking to ten people who hold this job and getting one of them to say yes to paying you.
