## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Fieldwire you could make: tasks, forms and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 112 of the 149 other project management tools grade higher. It costs $468 a year.

- You could make: Tasks, forms 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: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Box and Dropbox among them, and has an API.
