## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of MagicSlides you could make: templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It costs $80.04 a year.

- You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: A slide editor.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Slides, PowerPoint and Figma among them.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.

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