## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Pictorem you would be making printers that make and ship each order. 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 2.8 is higher than 54 of the 70 other print-on-demand and dropshipping services we grade. It costs $59.88 a year.

- You could not: Printers that make and ship each order.
- You could not: Suppliers who ship each order for you.
- You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Shopify, Etsy and WooCommerce among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
