The short version
These tools solve adjacent problems. Raindrop is about putting a link where you can find it again. Nook is about still knowing what a link was for once you have found it.
If your bookmark collection is already well organised and you still never revisit it, organisation was not your bottleneck, and Nook is aimed at what actually was.
Where Raindrop is stronger
Raindrop has years of head start and it shows.
- Extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, plus native mobile apps.
- A public API and established integrations.
- Permanent copies and full-page archiving on paid plans.
- Duplicate and broken-link detection across a large collection.
Where Nook is stronger
Nook spends its effort after the save, not before it.
- Every link gets an AI summary, so the shelf is readable at a glance.
- Estimated reading time on each link, which makes picking something realistic.
- Related picks, ranked from your own saved links rather than the open web.
- Search covers AI summaries and your notes, so you can find a link by what it said.
Moving from Raindrop to Nook
Export your Raindrop collection as CSV and upload it under Import. Nook can rebuild your Raindrop folders as collections, including nested ones, so the structure you already built comes across rather than flattening into one pile.

Common questions
- Can I import my Raindrop bookmarks into Nook?
- Yes. Export from Raindrop as CSV and upload it under Import. Nook can turn your Raindrop folders into collections, including nested folders, if you leave the create collections option on.
- Is Nook cheaper than Raindrop?
- Nook is free while it is in beta. Every feature is unlocked with no card required. The published plans are Free at €0 and Pro at €4 per month, or €36 a year, and they start charging only after beta ends.
- Does Nook replace Raindrop entirely?
- Not for everyone. Raindrop still wins on browser coverage, native mobile apps, a public API and offline copies. Nook wins if you want your saved links summarised and resurfaced rather than only filed.
