Keep Minea, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Minea you would be making a library of papers and sources to search. 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: 32 of the 39 other ad creative and reporting tools grade higher. It costs $588 a year.
What you could not
- A library of papers and sources to search.
- Suppliers who ship each order for you.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Minea’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.
