## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace FormKeep you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $59.88 a year.

- You could make: Forms and templates: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
