## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of CVDesignR you could make: resume builder and templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It costs $133.93 a year.

- You could make: Resume builder and templates: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover.
- 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.
