Business
CRM, invoicing, scheduling, and operations.

- Moderate
- Build time
- 1-3 hours
- Savings made

Shopify
A basic product catalog is buildable. A reliable, secure store with payments, tax, shipping, and inventory is a multi-month platform project, not an AI weekend.
- Difficulty
- Very hard
- Build time
- Weeks to months
- Savings made

Stripe
Stripe is regulated financial infrastructure, not a CRUD app. You cannot responsibly replace it with an AI-built side project.

- Extremely hard
- Build time
- Months to years (if ever)
- Savings made
- Up to Transaction fees
