## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Pic-Time you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 70 of the 104 other website and landing page builders we grade. It costs $84 a year.

- You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- You could not: Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- You could not: Printers that make and ship each order.
- You could not: Storing and serving files for other people.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
