## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Mailo you would be making an email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 55 of the 70 other email apps we grade. It costs $20.11 a year.

- You could make: Calendar: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: An email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail.
- You could not: Storing and serving files for other people.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
