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.
You could make this
What Scrap.io does at its core is plain work, and that is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well.
You would give up 2 things, listed below, and little else. It costs $468 a year. An AI app builder starts at about $20 a month on our listings, and you only need it while you build.
What you could make
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- An API that other software can build on.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Scrap.io’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.
