## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Scrive you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $281.53 a year.

- You could make: Documents, templates and forms: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
