Keep Pinegrow, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Pinegrow you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. 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: 65 of the 104 other website and landing page builders grade higher. It costs $49.50 a year.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap and WordPress among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Pinegrow’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.
