## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** Mpix is free, so making your own would save you nothing. And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 38 of the 70 other print-on-demand and dropshipping services grade higher.

- You could not: Printers that make and ship each order.
- You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
