    Build or Buy? AI, Software Subscriptions, and the Maintenance Reality

    Could your business replace a narrowly used software subscription with a tool built around its own work? Rob Davenport of Rovidx shares his experience using AI-assisted development to build a Kanban board and automate a client’s 800-video migration from Vimeo to bunny.net. He explores open-source creative tools, the economics of purpose-built software, and why building an application is only the beginning: somebody still needs to handle bugs, security, backups, and changing APIs. Rob also considers the opportunity for companies that build and maintain custom tools, and what SaaS founders can offer that remains difficult to replace. His closing challenge is simple: before the next renewal, pick one subscription and ask whether you should build the tool, keep the service, or outsource its management.
