## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Formester you could make: forms and 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 3.2 is higher than 146 of the 148 other form and survey tools we grade. It costs $144 a year.

- You could make: Forms and templates: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Airtable, Google Sheets and HubSpot CRM among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
