## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Picsart you would be making an image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. 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: 60 of the 89 other AI image and video generators grade higher.

- You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- You could not: A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make.
- You could not: A video editor.
- You could not: Apps for macOS and iOS that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
