Comparison — data as of August 2026
Savebase vs mymind: two very different answers to 'where did I save that?'
Savebase vs mymind isn't a fair fight in either direction — they're built on opposite philosophies. mymind is a private, AI-tagged visual memory where you drop things in one at a time and let search do the organizing. Savebase connects directly to your social accounts and brings your existing saved posts with you, media and all. Both even cap their free tier at exactly 100 items, which makes the pricing math below worth reading closely.
mymind starts empty and treats two platforms specially. Savebase starts with everything you've already saved, across eleven.
mymind is deliberately manual: you save one card at a time via its browser extension or mobile share sheet, and the AI tags it. Per mymind's own announcements, Instagram (gallery posts) and TikTok get dedicated, auto-tagged card types — that's the extent of documented platform-specific treatment; everything else (X posts, articles, images) saves as a generic link, image, or text clip. Savebase covers 11 social platforms as first-class save sources (Bluesky, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Truth Social, YouTube, X) plus unlimited external article/URL saves, and one click imports your existing saved folders from the platforms you connect, then keeps capturing new saves as you make them.
Native capture for 11 social platforms (Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, and more)
mymind has confirmed, dedicated auto-tagged cards for Instagram and TikTok specifically; other platforms save as generic link/image/text clips via the extension or share sheet
One-click bulk import of an existing platform saved folder
No bulk-import path found for any platform in mymind's own docs or announcements
Real-time sync of new saves from connected social accounts
mymind requires manually saving each item via extension/app; no account-level sync of a platform's save/bookmark feature
Both cap the free tier at 100 items. After that, the shapes diverge.
mymind's free 'Guest' plan holds 100 cards (any type) with a 64MB per-file cap, free forever within that limit — confirmed on mymind's own help docs. Its paid tiers, per mymind's pricing page: 'The Bookmarker' at $4.99/mo (unlimited cards, no card limit, but no AI features), 'Student of Life' at $7.99/mo or $79/yr (adds AI image tagging, image text recognition, Smart Spaces), and 'Mastermind' at $12.99/mo or $129/yr (adds Reading Mode, article backup, 500MB video support, AI summaries, PDF tagging). A $299/yr 'Newton' tier is listed as not yet available. Savebase's free Basic plan caps at 100 saved social posts (11 platforms) with unlimited external article saves and 5 folders; Pro is one flat tier — $8/mo, $76/yr, or a $199 lifetime purchase — that unlocks everything, including AI tagging, at a single price rather than a three-tier ladder.
Free plan available forever (not a trial)
Savebase Basic: 100 saved posts + unlimited article saves. mymind Guest: 100 cards total, 64MB per-file cap.
Entry-level paid price
Savebase Pro: $8/mo flat, everything included. mymind: $4.99/mo 'Bookmarker' has no AI tagging — you need the $7.99/mo 'Student' tier or above for that.
One-time lifetime purchase option
Savebase Pro: $199 lifetime. mymind is subscription-only; its unreleased 'Newton' tier is $299/yr, not a one-time price.
Unlimited saved items on paid plan
Both offer unlimited cards/posts once you're on a paid tier (mymind: Student and above; Savebase: Pro).
A screenshot of a reel isn't the reel
mymind stores a visual card of what you save, which works well for visual references, and Mastermind subscribers can attach video files up to 500MB and back up article text. But for video-first social platforms, a card isn't the original content. For Instagram, Threads, TikTok, and Facebook saves specifically, Savebase's Permanent Media Backup (a paid-plan feature, with your consent) archives the full images and videos to your own private storage, so a deleted TikTok or a gone-private Instagram account doesn't erase your collection.
Permanent Media Backup — actual video/image file (Instagram, Threads, TikTok, Facebook)
Paid-plan feature, with consent. mymind's Mastermind tier supports uploading video you provide, up to 500MB, but doesn't archive the original social post's media automatically.
Video transcription making saved videos searchable
No evidence of native video transcription in mymind's own feature set
Export your full library (files + text)
mymind has a genuine one-way export ('Export my mind': files plus a cards.csv), desktop Chrome/Edge only, no re-import path. Savebase also supports full data export.
No folders vs. platform-aware filtering, both with real AI tagging
mymind famously has no folders — you trust 'Smart Spaces' and AI tagging (image tagging, text-in-image search, auto-categorization) plus search to find things again, and it will flag/skip a duplicate save. It has no public API today, though mymind has referenced a private API beta for select members, and no official MCP server — an unofficial, community-built MCP project exists that wraps its internal endpoints, explicitly unaffiliated with mymind. Savebase gives you both handles: search across everything, or filter by platform, plus folders, AI Bulk Tagging on top of manual tags, a rule engine for auto-tag/auto-folder/auto-delete, RSS feed subscriptions, webhook automations, and an official read-only MCP server.
Custom folders with unlimited sub-folders
mymind has no folders by design — Smart Spaces and AI-generated tags do the organizing instead
AI auto-tagging on saved content
mymind's AI image tagging and text-in-image search are gated behind its $7.99/mo+ tiers. Savebase's AI Bulk Tagging is included on the $8/mo Pro plan alongside manual tagging.
Duplicate-save detection
mymind notifies you and skips re-saving an item already in your mind. Savebase's Remove Duplicates works across your whole existing library, not just at save time.
Rule engine automation (auto-tag / auto-folder / auto-delete by condition)
No rule-engine equivalent found in mymind's own feature set
MCP server for AI assistants
mymind has no official public API or MCP server as of August 2026; a private API beta has been referenced but isn't self-serve, and only unofficial community MCP wrappers exist
Auto-save a subscribed RSS/Atom feed with chosen tags & folder
No feed-subscription feature found in mymind's own product

The honest verdict
No tool wins everything. Here's how to decide in thirty seconds.
Pick Savebase if…
- Most of what you save lives inside social apps, and you want it out of their walled gardens with a one-click bulk import, not re-saved item by item
- You want the actual video and image files backed up permanently (Instagram, Threads, TikTok, Facebook), not a preview card that dies with the original post
- You'd rather pay once — Savebase Pro offers a $199 lifetime option; mymind is subscription-only, forever
Pick mymind if…
- You save mostly inspiration images, quotes, and article clips — not social video — and want mymind's AI image tagging, text-in-image search, and 'Smart Spaces' baked in
- You genuinely prefer zero folders and want AI/search to handle all organization instead of filing things yourself
- You want the cheapest possible entry point: mymind's 'Bookmarker' tier starts at $4.99/mo (no card limit, though also no AI tagging) versus Savebase Pro's $8/mo
Frequently asked questions
What does mymind actually cost, and is there a free plan?
Yes, mymind's free 'Guest' plan is capped at 100 cards total (any content type), with a 64MB per-file upload limit — free forever within that. Paid tiers, per mymind's own pricing page: 'The Bookmarker' at $4.99/mo (unlimited cards, but no AI tagging), 'Student of Life' at $7.99/mo or $79/yr (adds AI image tagging, text-in-image search, Smart Spaces), and 'Mastermind' at $12.99/mo or $129/yr (adds Reading Mode, article backups, video up to 500MB, AI summaries). A $299/yr 'Newton' tier is listed but marked not yet available. Savebase's free Basic plan caps at 100 saved social posts across 11 platforms (with unlimited external article saves) — Pro is a flat $8/mo, $76/yr, or $199 lifetime with everything unlocked.
Is Savebase or mymind better for saving Instagram and TikTok content?
Savebase, and it's not close for this specific use case. It connects to your accounts, imports your existing saved folders in one click, syncs new saves in real time, and backs up the full videos for Instagram and TikTok specifically. mymind does support Instagram and TikTok as first-class save types with dedicated, auto-tagged cards (per mymind's own product announcements) — but only those two platforms have that treatment, saving is manual one-at-a-time via extension or share sheet, and there's no bulk-import path for a saved folder you already built up.
Does mymind back up videos from social media, or can I export my data?
mymind's Mastermind tier ($12.99/mo or $129/yr) supports video uploads up to 500MB and stores article backups, but that's for content you save into mymind, not an archive of the original social post if it's deleted. mymind does offer a genuine export tool (Account settings > 'Export my mind'), which downloads your files plus a cards.csv of notes, links, and highlights — it's one-way, with no re-import path. Savebase's Permanent Media Backup, on a paid plan, stores complete images and videos in your own private storage specifically for Instagram, Threads, TikTok, and Facebook saves, and Savebase also supports full data export.
Does mymind have an API or MCP server for AI assistants like Claude?
Not publicly, as of August 2026. mymind has talked about a private API beta that select members can request access to, but there's no self-serve public API and no official MCP server. Community-built, unofficial projects exist that wrap mymind's endpoints, explicitly not affiliated with mymind. Savebase ships an official, read-only MCP server today, so tools like Claude and Cursor can query your saved bookmarks — and video transcripts — directly.
Your saved posts deserve better than eleven separate apps
Import your existing saved folders in one click, and never lose a post to deletion again with Permanent Media Backup.
