## Keep it, or make your own?

**You could make this.** What Sign.com does at its core is documents and templates, and that is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well. You would give up one thing, listed below, and little else. It costs $84 a year. An AI app builder starts at about $20 a month on our listings, and you only need it while you build.

- You could make: Documents and templates: an app builder makes these well.
- You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
- You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
