## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Swat.io you would be making one mailbox that several people work at once. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 17 of the 49 other social media schedulers grade higher. It costs $522.85 a year.

- You could make: Calendar and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: One mailbox that several people work at once.
- You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn among them.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
