  2. If you’re an Evernote user already, then you might want to use the Evernote Web Clipper feature as a replacement for Pocket. The free plan of Evernote allows users to save web content to their Evernote account, but in order to read them offline you need to pay for a Premium or Business plan. You can save the entire web page (or just a selection of it) and read it in a clean format later. Evernote also offers great tagging and organization into different categories or notebooks.

  4. Tagpacker icon
     127 likes

    Tagpacker is more of a bookmarking platform than a fully-featured solution to save and consume content on the web. If you prefer to save links and read them in their original format on the website it was first published, then Tagpacker could be a good and free alternative to Pocket. The lack of apps for Android and other systems is a con for some, but the features for collecting, organizing, and searching for your content is considered extensive.

    Tagpacker is much faster to search through large collections of bookmarks; Pocket choked on a 26K bookmark collection and would often time out or fail to find all matching bookmarks when searched. It allows descriptions to be entered with bookmarks. You can filter by multiple tags whereas Pocket free only lets you filter by one. Similarly, Tagpacker lets you search within tags while Pocket free cannot do this.
