## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Letterhead you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 78 of the 102 other email marketing and newsletter tools grade higher.

- You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- You could not: Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- You could not: Splitting visitors between versions and telling you which won.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Braze, Zapier and WordPress among them, and has an API.
- You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
- You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
