## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Webhook Relay 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 is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 90 of the 134 other automation tools we grade. It costs $107.88 a year.

- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
