## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of GitMind you could make: mind mapping. What surrounds it you could not. The 7 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 46 of the 61 other whiteboard and mind map tools we grade. It costs $48.96 a year.

- You could make: Mind mapping: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: An endless canvas that stays smooth with hundreds of things on it.
- You could not: A diagram editor.
- You could not: A slide editor.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- 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.
