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 not yet, and the honest read is that you would be creating the demand as well as the product. If you want to pursue it anyway, the bar is the same: talk to ten people who hold this job and get one to say yes to paying you. Prove us wrong with evidence rather than enthusiasm.
