Comparison — content capture rechecked October 14, 2026
Savebase vs Keep: which one covers what you actually save?
Savebase captures media, author and original post text for supported social saves. Keep also retains X text and some real media; compare platform coverage and capture path rather than claiming it only keeps links.
Keep's X capture also includes text and media
Savebase's supported social capture keeps the original author, post text/caption and available media together in its card view. A manually added web URL or unenriched bookmark-file import can initially contain only link metadata. Keep's X docs confirm ordered thread text, media and quoted posts where available. Useful X images are saved; some videos captured through its browser extension can be played or downloaded. This directly rules out calling Keep text-only or thumbnail-only. The docs do not establish the same capture/backup scope for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and Threads.

The honest verdict
No tool wins everything. Here's how to decide in thirty seconds.
Pick Savebase if…
- You want original captured social-post media, author and text together in one library, rather than revisiting separate feeds.
- You need paid original-media backup for Instagram, Threads, TikTok or Facebook; other sources have different preservation limits.
Pick Keep (keep.md) if…
- You want portable Markdown and notes that agents can update.
- You want automatic text sources such as feeds or YouTube transcripts.
Frequently asked questions
Does Keep (keep.md) show original content or just a saved link?
Yes, for documented X capture: Keep saves text/images and some extension-captured videos that can be played/downloaded. That does not establish equivalent Instagram/TikTok/Facebook/Threads capture or deletion-proof media retention. [Official source](https://keep.md/docs/x). Savebase's native captures show the captured author, text and media where available; generic URL/file imports may need enrichment.
What does Keep (keep.md) cost?
Keep Starter is free with bookmarks and limited notes. Personal is now $10/month, with X bookmark sync an optional $5/month add-on. Source: [official details](https://keep.md/). Checked October 14, 2026.
What is included in Savebase Basic and Pro?
Basic is free with 100 social posts, two connected social platforms, five folders and unlimited ordinary web saves. Pro is $8/month, $76/year or $599 lifetime, with paid imports, AI tagging, automation and supported social-media backup. [Current Savebase plans](https://savebase.space/pricing/).
