Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Copy.ai you would be making an AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 98 of the 100 other writing tools grade higher. It costs $288 a year.
What you could not
- An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- People on the other end: coaches. No app builder makes those.
What this rests on. Copy.ai’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
