## Keep it, or make your own?

**Your call.** A writing app at its plainest is a page that saves what you type. Outwrite sits between: not beyond making, and not a weekend's work either. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $119.40 a year.

- You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
- You could not: Grammar checking as you type, wherever you type.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Docs, Microsoft Word and Outlook among them.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
