Comparison — data as of August 2026
Savebase vs Keep: which one covers what you actually save?
Keep (keep.md) is a genuinely broad "save everything for humans and AI agents" tool — per its own homepage, it covers a browser extension, X bookmarks and articles, YouTube transcripts, RSS/Atom/JSON feeds, document and audio upload, email newsletters, Reddit saved posts, GitHub stars, and Kindle highlights, with a single importer that also pulls in Pocket, Instapaper, Omnivore, Raindrop.io, Pinboard, and Wallabag exports. It's one of the more agent-native tools in this space, with its own MCP server, API, CLI, and webhooks. But that same source list stops at text and links — there's no Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or Threads anywhere in it, and no dedicated mobile app either. That's exactly where Savebase starts.
Keep covers an impressive range of text and link sources. None of them are Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or Threads.
Per keep.md's own homepage, its sources are: browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Arc, Brave), X bookmarks and articles, YouTube video transcripts, RSS/Atom/JSON feeds, document and audio upload, an email inbox for newsletters, Reddit saved posts (via private RSS feed), GitHub stars and gists, and Kindle highlights. That's a genuinely broad list — but every source on it is text, link, or transcript based. The platforms most people actually build up years of photo and video saves on — Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Threads — don't appear anywhere in it. Savebase's 11 supported platforms are built around exactly those.
Native capture for 11 social platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Threads, and more)
Auto-save a subscribed RSS/Atom feed with chosen tags & folder
Keep auto-syncs RSS and YouTube subscriptions on its free plan too — though since Keep has no folder system, new items land by tag only, not a chosen folder
Custom folders with unlimited sub-folders
Confirmed via Keep's own site: it has no folder system at all — organization runs on tags and search across a flat library instead
Keep extracts readable text. Savebase backs up the actual media file.
Keep's own positioning is turning "links, bookmarks, threads, videos, and emails into a clean, searchable text feed" — it stores extracted text, AI summaries, and transcripts (including YouTube transcripts) for reading and AI context, not a rehosted copy of the original image or video. Savebase's Permanent Media Backup (Instagram, Threads, TikTok, and Facebook saves, on paid plans) stores the actual image or video file in your own private, access-controlled storage — so a deleted reel or a private account leaves you with the post itself, not just a summary of it.
Permanent Media Backup — actual video/image file (Instagram, Threads, TikTok, Facebook)
Paid-plan feature, with consent
Duplicate detection
No evidence of a native duplicate-item finder in Keep's changelog or feature pages as of this check
Video transcription making saved videos searchable
Savebase's is a paid add-on across saved videos; Keep transcribes YouTube videos specifically as part of its text-feed conversion
Keep's real strength is agent context. That's a different job than backing up your Instagram saves.
Keep is explicit about this positioning — it offers an MCP server, a public API, and a CLI specifically so an AI agent can use your saved library as context for writing, research, or planning, and its own changelog confirms native webhooks (real-time, scoped to specific items) plus read-only API keys for safer automation. That's a genuinely useful, distinct feature set. Savebase doesn't compete on that ground; it's built around one job — getting your existing saved folders out of Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Threads and keeping the media safe, with its own MCP server and native webhooks covering the automation side.
MCP server for AI assistants
Both offer this; Keep pairs its MCP server with a public API and CLI, aimed specifically at agent workflows
Native webhooks
Confirmed via Keep's own changelog — real-time webhooks scoped to specific items, alongside read-only API keys
Rule engine automation (auto-tag / auto-folder on ingest by condition)
Dedicated mobile app
Keep is used on mobile via the share sheet, browser extension, API, and CLI — it doesn't ship a downloadable iOS or Android app
A broad importer for other text tools vs. native social-platform capture
Keep's own docs list a single importer that pulls from Pocket, Instapaper, Omnivore, Raindrop.io, Pinboard, Wallabag, and OPML or CSV/TSV exports — a genuinely broad net for text-and-link libraries, free on every Keep plan. Savebase's importer (a paid feature) covers the same kind of migration for people switching from another bookmark tool, alongside the platform-specific grabbers that pull your existing Instagram, TikTok, and other saved folders in directly.
One-click bulk import of existing Instagram/TikTok/etc. saved folders
Import from other bookmark/read-later tools
Keep's single importer covers Pocket, Instapaper, Omnivore, Raindrop.io, Pinboard, Wallabag, and OPML/CSV/TSV — free on Keep, a paid feature on Savebase
Export all saved data
Both offer a real free tier
Keep's Starter plan is free: unlimited links, RSS and YouTube following, browser extension, and API/CLI/MCP access. Plus, at $10/month, adds 500 full-content items per billing cycle, X bookmark syncing, an email-forwarding inbox, GitHub sync, file uploads, and AI features; Pro, at $20/month, doubles the full-content quota to 1,000 items and includes everything in Plus. Savebase's free plan covers 100 saved posts and 2 connected platforms, with Pro and Lifetime plans unlocking unlimited posts, all platforms, and Permanent Media Backup.

The honest verdict
No tool wins everything. Here's how to decide in thirty seconds.
Pick Savebase if…
- Your saves are mostly Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or Threads posts — none of which appear in Keep's own integration list, and Keep has no folder system to organize them in
- You want the actual video or image backed up, not extracted text or a transcript
- You want a dedicated mobile app rather than relying on the share sheet
Pick Keep if…
- You save mostly from X, YouTube, RSS feeds, GitHub, Reddit, or email newsletters
- You want your saved library exposed to AI agents via MCP, API, or CLI
- Kindle highlight import and full-text search across articles matter more to you than social media backup
Frequently asked questions
Does Keep (keep.md) support Instagram or TikTok saves?
Not based on its own integrations list — keep.md's homepage lists browser extension, X, YouTube, RSS/Atom/JSON feeds, document/audio upload, email, Reddit, GitHub, and Kindle as its sources. Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Threads don't appear anywhere in that list. Savebase connects directly to those four platforms plus seven more.
What does Keep actually store — the post or just a summary?
Per Keep's own positioning, it turns saved content into "a clean, searchable text feed" — extracted text and AI summaries, plus YouTube transcripts. That's built for reading and AI context, not for preserving the original image or video file. Savebase's Permanent Media Backup stores the actual media for Instagram, Threads, TikTok, and Facebook saves.
Is Keep good for AI agent workflows?
Yes, genuinely — Keep offers MCP, API, and CLI access specifically so agents can use your saved library as context, which is a real strength if that's your use case. Its own changelog also confirms native webhooks (scoped to specific items) and read-only API keys for safer automation. Savebase is built around a narrower job: getting your social saves out and keeping the media safe.
Does Keep.md have a dedicated mobile app?
Not yet, confirmed via Keep's own site — it's used on mobile through the browser share sheet rather than a downloadable iOS or Android app, alongside its web app, Chrome extension, API, and CLI. Savebase ships an actual mobile app.
Does Keep have webhooks or a rule engine like Savebase?
Partly. Keep's own changelog confirms native webhooks (real-time, item-scoped) and read-only API keys — genuinely comparable to Savebase there. What it doesn't have is a conditional rule engine or a folder system: Keep organizes everything by tags and feed subscriptions rather than folders, so there's no "auto-folder on ingest" equivalent.
Can I import my Keep library into Savebase, or vice versa?
Keep's own docs list importing from Pocket, Instapaper, Omnivore, Raindrop.io, Pinboard, Wallabag, and OPML/CSV/TSV files — not from Savebase directly. If you're moving from Keep to Savebase, reach out to [email protected] and we can help with what's exportable.
