Strengths and trade-offs

Strengths

  • Full-text search covers page content, PDFs and YouTube speech
  • Automatic web archive keeps copies of pages that go offline
  • Browser extensions plus Windows, Mac, iPad, iPhone and Android apps
  • Free tier covers unlimited bookmarks, collections and devices

Trade-offs

  • Premium features need an upgrade and no prices are shown on the homepage
  • Cloud-only architecture; the apps are open-source but the service is not self-hosted
  • Published by one named individual, so buyers should weigh vendor continuity
