| STOA's Verdict | Buildbox is niche — it builds simple mobile games without coding. For the rare SMB that wants a branded promotional game or gamified training, it could work. But most small businesses will never need it. The lack of a free tier and narrow focus make it a hard sell unless game development is part of your business model. |
