Sublime App Alternative: Savebase vs. Sublime
Savebase shows captured original media, author and post text together. Sublime's mixed card types and X/Instagram imports are real features; their exact field completeness and video behavior remain unverified.
Different card types do not prove identical social-post capture
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. Sublime advertises image, text, article, social and video cards, plus X/Instagram imports. It is therefore too broad to call it thumbnail-only. Those pages do not specify which imported saves retain the full original author/caption/media set or which social videos play independently of the source; these details remain unverified here.

Pick Sublime if…
- You want Canvas and related ideas for creative research.
- You want Sublime's paid X/Instagram imports and MCP/export workflow.
Frequently asked questions
Does Sublime show original content or just a saved link?
Sublime lists image/text/social/video cards and X/Instagram imports. The checked pages do not specify complete author/caption/media retention for each source, so no blanket thumbnail-only or full-capture claim is made. [Official source](https://sublime.app/). Savebase's native captures show the captured author, text and media where available; generic URL/file imports may need enrichment.
What does Sublime cost?
Sublime Basic is free with unspecified numeric limits on its current pricing page. Premium is $75/year, Premium+ $100/year and Lifetime $400. Source: [official details](https://sublime.app/pricing). 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/).
