Pick Yuri if the thing you save is a social post and you want the idea written down. Pick Raindrop if you want a full bookmark manager: collections, tags, highlights, and a permanent copy of pages, with AI as an extra on Pro.
Raindrop is the more complete catalogue. Yuri is the shorter path from a post in Telegram or Chrome to something you can search by what it meant.

What each one actually keeps
Raindrop’s free plan already covers the part many people pay for elsewhere: unlimited bookmarks, collections, tags, and devices. Pro is where full-text search, the permanent archive, annotations, reminders, backups, and the AI assistant live. Uploads are capped at 100MB a month on the free plan and 10GB a month on Pro. Yearly billing is described by Raindrop as about 20% off monthly. There is a 30-day refund via info@raindrop.io.
Yuri’s free plan is smaller on purpose. Starter holds 25 links a month and does not search or explain them. Basic and Pro are where a save becomes text or a transcript where the page allows it, plus an explanation, tags, and search. Social drafts exist on those paid plans and are a starting point, not an automatic post. Ask Yuri is Pro only. The shelf is 400 saved links on Basic and 1,200 on Pro.
The picture at the top of this page is Yuri, the cat, not a screenshot of either product. The live product is the homepage and the library you open after you try it.
Choose Yuri if
- You already live in Telegram, or you want one click from Chrome on the post itself.
- You care more about “what did this say” than about a nested collection.
- Your saves are Instagram, TikTok, X, Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Pinterest, not a decade of general bookmarks.
Choose Raindrop if
- You want every bookmark in one manager, including ones you will never summarise.
- You want highlights, a permanent copy, and a mature collection system.
- You are fine doing the filing, or you want AI only as an add-on to that system.
