Comparison — data as of July 2026
Savebase vs Favourites.io: one platform, or all of them?
Favourites.io, like Tweetsmash, is a Twitter/X-specific tool — it searches, organizes, and exports your X Likes and Bookmarks. The Savebase vs Favourites.io decision follows the same logic as any focused-vs-broad tradeoff: great if X is genuinely your only platform, limiting if it isn't. (See also our Savebase vs Tweetsmash comparison, the other X-only tool with the same tradeoff.)
An X/Twitter bookmark manager vs. a cross-platform one
Favourites.io is confirmed, via its own site, to cover X/Twitter Likes and Bookmarks specifically — with search by keyword, username, date, and media type, plus export to CSV, JSON, or Excel. If your saves live entirely on X, that focus can be a genuine strength; if they're spread across Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, or elsewhere, you'd be running Favourites.io alongside something else for the rest.
Supports X/Twitter bookmarks and likes
Also supports Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, and 7 more platforms
Favourites.io is X/Twitter-focused by design — this isn't a gap for them, it's their positioning
What happens when a bookmarked tweet is deleted
The best available evidence here comes from a competitor: Dewey's own "Favourites.io Alternative" comparison states plainly that Favourites.io "relies on Twitter's bookmarks, so if a tweet is deleted, it disappears from your collection as well." We'd normally discount a competitor's characterization, but it lines up with everything on Favourites.io's own site — which talks about search, organization, and export, and never once claims to preserve content after deletion. Worth noting X/Twitter also isn't one of the platforms covered by Savebase's own Permanent Media Backup — that currently applies to Instagram, Threads, TikTok, and Facebook saves specifically.
Preserves saved content after the original tweet is deleted
Best evidence (a competitor's direct claim, consistent with the absence of any such claim on Favourites.io's own site) suggests no — it appears to rely on live X data
Permanent backup of the actual media (Instagram, Threads, TikTok, Facebook)
Not applicable to Favourites.io given its X-only scope — and X itself isn't covered by Savebase's Permanent Backup either
Tags, folders, and finding things again
Both tools offer organization features for X bookmarks specifically; Savebase extends that same organization model across every platform you connect. For more X-focused options, see our best X bookmark manager apps roundup.

The honest verdict
No tool wins everything. Here's how to decide in thirty seconds.
Pick Savebase if…
- Your saves span more than just X/Twitter
- You want saved content to survive a deletion, not just a live view of what's currently on X
- Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok saves matter to you
Pick Favourites.io if…
- X/Twitter is genuinely your only platform for saving content
- You want a tool built specifically around X's likes and bookmarks, with straightforward export
- You already have separate tools covering your other platforms
Frequently asked questions
Is Favourites.io only for X/Twitter?
Mostly — confirmed via their own site and Chrome extension listing, it's built specifically around X/Twitter Likes and Bookmarks (it covers both, not just bookmarks).
What's the real difference between Savebase and Favourites.io?
Platform breadth. If X is your only platform, a focused tool has real appeal. If you also save from Instagram, TikTok, or elsewhere, Savebase covers that from one place instead of requiring a separate tool per platform.
Does Savebase do anything X-specific better than Favourites.io?
Worth testing directly — a tool built around one platform can go deep on that platform's specific quirks. We'd rather you compare directly than take our word for it.
Can I import my Favourites.io saves into Savebase?
Reach out to [email protected] and we'll help however we can. Favourites.io's own export supports CSV, JSON, and Excel, so a direct export/import path is realistic.
Does Favourites.io keep a saved tweet if the original is deleted?
Likely not, based on the best evidence available: Dewey's own comparison of the two products states Favourites.io "relies on Twitter's bookmarks, so if a tweet is deleted, it disappears from your collection as well." That's a competitor's characterization, not Favourites.io's own claim, but it's consistent with Favourites.io's own marketing, which describes search, organization, and export — never deleted-content protection — across everything we found on their site.
