## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Post Planner 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 is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 65 of the 90 other social media schedulers we grade. It costs $108 a year.

- 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 real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Facebook, Instagram and Google Business Profile among them.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
