Keep Portrait Pal, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Portrait Pal 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.
It costs $35, paid once.
What you could not
- An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Portrait Pal’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.
