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