By The real trade-off in this comparison fits in one sentence. Linkwarden gives you full data ownership plus a server to maintain. not24get.me gives you a managed service plus nothing to maintain.
Both tools are bookmark managers for people who save links seriously. Both beat the browser bookmark bar by a wide margin. The question is who owns the machine under your archive, and how much that ownership is worth to you.
This page compares Linkwarden with not24get.me so you can pick the side of that trade-off that fits.
The 60-second version
Linkwarden is an open-source bookmark manager published under AGPLv3. You can run it on your own server for free, or use Linkwarden Cloud at $4 per user per month ($3 with yearly billing). Every saved page is preserved automatically as a screenshot, a PDF, and a readable HTML copy. Collections support per-user permissions and public sharing, and self-hosted instances can plug into SSO over OIDC. Pick Linkwarden if owning the server is a requirement, not a chore.
not24get.me is a managed bookmark hub. You save from a browser extension with a note and tags, search your own words later, and share folders with a team that never touches a config file. There is a permanent free plan, a 1 EUR Pro plan, and a 3 EUR per seat Team plan. Pick not24get.me if the bookmarks matter more than the infrastructure behind them.
Where they differ
Capturing what you find
Linkwarden captures aggressively. Its open-source browser extension saves the link, and the server then stores a screenshot, a PDF, and a single-file HTML copy of the page. Optional AI tagging sorts new saves, RSS feeds can flow into a collection, and an installable mobile app covers phones. For pure capture volume and fidelity, it is very solid.
not24get.me captures lightly. The extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari saves the link while the page is open, and you add a short note and one or two tags in the same motion. Folders keep the library tidy, everything stays private until you share it, and an importer brings in existing browser bookmarks. There is no automatic screenshot or PDF archive on capture.
Finding it again later
Linkwarden searches the text of the pages it preserved, with filters and search operators on top. Pinned links and collections keep daily items one click away. On a self-hosted instance, the quality of that search depends on how well the server is set up and maintained.
not24get.me searches what you wrote: notes, tags, and titles. Paid plans extend the search to the full text of archived pages. You can preview a page inside the hub before opening it, and link checks flag URLs that have gone dead, so a broken link surfaces before a deadline does.
Working with others
Collaboration is where Linkwarden aims. Shared collections carry per-user permissions, collections can be published publicly, and self-hosted instances integrate with identity providers over OIDC for SSO. For a team that already runs its own infrastructure, that is a genuine strength.
not24get.me keeps collaboration simple. You share a folder or a workspace, and the recipients see your structure exactly as you built it; nobody reconstructs anything. The Team plan covers two to seven seats at 3 EUR per seat per month. There is no SSO and no permission matrix to administer.
Keeping it long-term
Linkwarden's archival is the best reason to choose it. Three preserved formats per page means link rot cannot touch your library. The flip side is operational. On a self-hosted instance you own the backups, the updates, and the uptime, and if the server dies without a backup, the archive dies with it.
not24get.me covers the same job without the server. Archived pages are searchable on paid plans, link checks watch for rot, and a public status page shows how the service is doing. You give up the local PDF copies. You get back the evenings you would have spent on updates.
If you are moving from Linkwarden
Moving off Linkwarden is straightforward for the links and manual for the rest. Set the expectation first: the preserved screenshots and PDFs do not transfer, so download anything you want to keep before you shut anything down.
- In Linkwarden settings, export your data. The export is Linkwarden's own JSON format, so treat it as a backup, not an import file.
- Download the preserved copies (screenshots, PDFs, HTML) of any page you cannot afford to lose.
- Create a free not24get.me account and install the browser extension.
- Re-save the links that still matter, adding a one-line note and tags as you go. For bulk lists, import browser bookmarks into a folder first.
- Recreate shared collections as shared folders or a team workspace, then invite your people.
- Keep the Linkwarden server running until the team confirms nothing is missing. Then decommission it, and cancel the Cloud seat if you had one.
Plan an evening for a personal library and a week of parallel running for a team. The links move in minutes. The habits take a little longer.

FAQ
What is Linkwarden?
Linkwarden is an open-source bookmark manager that preserves every saved page as a screenshot, a PDF, and an HTML copy. You can self-host it for free or use the managed Linkwarden Cloud. It targets individuals and teams who want a collaborative, permanent archive of their links.
Is Linkwarden self-hosted?
Yes. Self-hosting is its core offering, and the full feature set is free under the AGPLv3 license. A managed Cloud plan exists for users who do not want to run a server, priced per user with a 14-day free trial.
What is the best Linkwarden alternative?
It depends on why you are leaving. If you want to keep self-hosting, look at Karakeep. If you want a managed service for a team, not24get.me covers shared workspaces and search without any server work, starting at a permanent free plan.
Does not24get.me offer SSO?
No. not24get.me does not offer SSO today. Team access works through ordinary accounts invited into shared workspaces, which keeps setup to minutes for the small teams the product targets.
Can I export my data from Linkwarden?
Yes. Linkwarden includes import and export in its settings, and every preserved copy of a page stays downloadable. Export first if you plan to move, because the export uses Linkwarden's own JSON format rather than a standard bookmark file.
