The best bookmark manager extensions for Chrome

Raindrop.io is the pick for most people who want more than Chrome's own manager: collections, tags, highlights and apps on every platform, free, with full-text search and a web archive on its Pro plan. If you want to keep your bookmarks as Chrome bookmarks and only need a better way to organize, search and clean them up, Pagewing does that without moving anything, and its subscription also covers a screen recorder, PDF editor and more. Pinboard suits people who want a plain, text-first archive for a yearly fee, Toby people who save sets of open tabs, and start.me people who want their links on a start page.

Checked against each app's own pages in October 2026. We compared each app's saving, organizing, search and clean-up features, where the bookmarks live, how it handles thousands of them, and what it costs, as read on its own site in October 2026. Pagewing is ours, so its row has the same cons as the others.

Questions

Something else? Write to us from the Support link below.

Is Raindrop.io free?

Yes. The free plan has no cap on bookmarks, collections, highlights or devices and includes import and export. Full-text search, a web archive, reminders, the duplicate and broken-link finder and larger uploads are on its Pro plan.

Do I have to move my bookmarks out of Chrome?

Only with the apps that keep their own library: Raindrop.io, Pinboard, Toby and start.me store what you save in their cloud, so Chrome's bookmarks bar and sync don't see it. Pagewing and Chrome's own manager work on the bookmarks already in Chrome.

Which one finds duplicate and broken bookmarks?

Raindrop.io has a duplicate and broken-link finder on Pro, and Pinboard's archiving plan flags dead links. Pagewing's clean-up, on Pro, finds duplicates, dead links, pages that moved, tracking junk in addresses and bookmarks you never open, with regular checks and undo. Chrome's manager has no check.

Can I import my bookmarks from one to another?

Mostly yes, through Chrome's HTML bookmark file, which most of these can read or write. Pagewing also imports Raindrop.io's CSV backups directly, keeping collections as folders with their tags, notes, highlights and favorites.

Which bookmark manager works on my phone?

Raindrop.io and Toby have iOS and Android apps, and Chrome's own bookmarks sync to Chrome on your phone. Pinboard and start.me work in a phone browser. Pagewing runs in Chrome on a computer, but because it keeps your bookmarks as Chrome bookmarks, Chrome's sync still carries them to your phone.

Is Pagewing free?

Yes. Every tool works on the free plan, with a few limits. Premium removes the limits and adds features like share links, PDF signatures and cloud storage, for every tool at once. Pro adds Office conversions, bookmark cleanups and AI summaries and branding for recordings on top. You only add a card if you decide to upgrade.
