## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Bannersnack you could make: templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 62 of the 72 other ad creative and reporting tools we grade. It costs $84 a year.

- You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Ad images and videos made to each network's sizes.
- You could not: Several people working in it at the same moment.
- You could not: An API that other software can build on.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
