By The real trade-off is simple. Raindrop.io is a mature, visual, highly configurable library that rewards the time you put into it. not24get.me is a smaller, search-first tool that puts the effort into the moment of saving instead.
Raindrop.io has been around since 2013. It is the bookmark manager people recommend by default, and for good reason. The apps run on every platform. The collections look great. The feature list is the longest in this category. If you have used it for years, this page is not here to tell you that you chose wrong.
This page is for the moment a saved link stops being findable. When the pile grows faster than your habit of sorting it, the question changes from "which tool has more features" to "which tool still works when I stop organizing."
Everything below is checked against the live Raindrop.io site, including the pricing page, on 4 Sep 2026. Where the two products simply make different bets, we say so instead of picking a fake winner.
The 60-second version
Raindrop.io is an all-in-one bookmark manager. The free plan covers unlimited bookmarks, collections, highlights, and devices, with sharing included. Pro costs $3 per month or $28 per year and adds full-text search, permanent copies of pages, an AI assistant, reminders, annotations, and daily backups. It is the most complete product in this space. If you want the fullest toolset and you enjoy curating a library, Raindrop.io is the right pick.
not24get.me is a bookmark hub built around two habits: save with a note and tags while the page is open, then find it later by searching your own words. Paid plans search the full text of archived pages, previews open inside the hub, and link checks flag dead links before you click them. Pro costs 1 EUR per month. If you want less tool to maintain and search that works even when your folders do not, not24get.me is the right pick.
Where they differ
Capturing what you find
Raindrop.io is excellent at capture. There are extensions for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, plus apps for Mac, iOS, and Android. You can highlight passages as you save, upload files, and connect more than 2,600 integrations. Few tools in any category cover this many entry points.
not24get.me captures from a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. The flow is deliberately opinionated. You save the page, write one short note, add a tag or two, and drop it in a folder. That note is the point. It is the sentence future you will search for. There are no file uploads and no integration directory, and that keeps the save dialog fast.
Finding it again later
On the free plan, Raindrop.io searches titles, tags, type, and domain. Pro unlocks full-text search, down to every spoken word in a saved YouTube video, which is genuinely impressive. The catch is organizational. Everything lands in one unsorted inbox unless you move it, and a visual library you stopped curating becomes a pile you scroll.
not24get.me assumes the pile happens anyway and designs around it. Search covers your notes and tags on every plan, and paid plans search the full text of archived pages, so the words on the page itself become the index. You preview pages inside the hub instead of opening ten tabs. Link checks flag broken URLs early, so a dead link does not wait for a deadline to reveal itself.
Working with others
Raindrop.io includes sharing and collaboration on every plan, including free. You can invite people into a collection or share a public page. For a free product, that is generous, and teams on a budget will notice.
not24get.me shares folders and workspaces. The difference is in what the recipient gets: your structure arrives intact, with notes attached, so nobody has to reconstruct your thinking from a bare list of URLs. The Team plan covers 2 to 7 seats at 3 EUR per seat per month. Lists stay private until you choose to share them.
Keeping it long-term
This is where Raindrop.io Pro earns its price. Permanent copies keep a snapshot of each saved page even if the original disappears. Daily backups protect the whole library. A duplicate and broken links finder keeps collections clean. For an archive you intend to keep for a decade, these are the features that matter.
not24get.me keeps less, on purpose. Paid plans archive the full text of saved pages so search keeps working, and link checks tell you when a source rots. There is no permanent visual snapshot of pages and no automatic backup export. If a durable page-for-page archive is the goal, Raindrop.io Pro does more. If a findable working library is the goal, the lighter model holds up.
If you are moving from Raindrop.io
This is the most common migration we see, and it takes about fifteen minutes for a typical library.
- Create a free not24get.me account.
- Install the browser extension for your browser.
- In Raindrop.io, open Settings, then Backups, and export your collections as an HTML bookmark file.
- Import that HTML file into your browser's bookmark manager.
- In not24get.me, import the browser bookmarks into a folder.
- For the twenty links you actually open, re-save them with a one-line note. That note is what makes search work later.
Set honest expectations before you start. Links, titles, and tags survive the trip. Highlights and annotations do not. Uploaded files do not. Raindrop's permanent copies stay with Raindrop. And nested collections flatten into folders, so skim your structure before exporting and rename anything that will stop making sense one level up.
You can also run both for a month. Keep Raindrop.io as the archive, save new finds into not24get.me, and see which one you actually open when you need something.

FAQ
Is Raindrop.io free?
Yes. The free plan is unlimited in the ways that matter most: unlimited bookmarks, collections, highlights, and devices, plus sharing and collaboration. File uploads are capped at 100 MB per month. Pro costs $3 per month or $28 per year and adds full-text search, permanent copies, an AI assistant, and daily backups.
What is the best Raindrop.io alternative in 2026?
It depends on the job. If you want a lighter tool built around saving with context and finding by search, not24get.me is the closest fit and costs less. If you want a visual start page, see our start.me comparison. If you want a self-hosted archive, see Karakeep. Raindrop.io itself remains the most feature-complete option if you will use its full toolset.
Does Raindrop.io have AI tagging?
Yes, on the Pro plan. Raindrop.io ships an AI Assistant and AI Suggestions that propose tags and collections for your saves. You confirm or discard each suggestion, so the library stays under your control. These features are not part of the free plan.
Does not24get.me organize bookmarks automatically?
No. not24get.me does not use AI tagging or automatic sorting. The model is different: you add a short note and tags at the moment you save, into folders you designed. Search then works across your notes and tags, and paid plans also search the full text of archived pages. The context lives in what you wrote, not in what an algorithm guessed.
Can I move my Raindrop.io bookmarks to not24get.me?
Yes. Export from Raindrop.io as an HTML bookmark file, import it into your browser, then import the browser bookmarks into a not24get.me folder. Links, titles, and tags survive. Highlights, annotations, uploaded files, and permanent copies do not transfer.
