## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Raidboxes you would be making servers kept running, patched and backed up for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $241.32 a year.

- You could not: Servers kept running, patched and backed up for you.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
