## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Autodesk Forma you could make: documents and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 80 of the 149 other project management tools grade higher.

- You could make: Documents and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: An API that other software can build on.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
