## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Little Green Light 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. It costs $540 a year.

- You could make: Forms, reports and tasks: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Mailchimp, Constant Contact and Stripe among them, and has an API.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
