Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Memberstack you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $300 a year.
What you could not
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- A members' space with posts, chat and events that people keep coming back to.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
What this rests on. Memberstack’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
