Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

Scalable Press is free, so making your own would save you nothing.

And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces.

What you could not

  • Printers that make and ship each order.
  • Suppliers who ship each order for you.
  • An API that other software can build on.
  • The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

What this rests on. Scalable Press’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.
