Instapaper vs Pocket | Which One Is Better for You in 2021?

[@FilipeDonadio]

Hey guys, are you using any of these apps?

[@gtspeak]

I have thought of using one of these many times. However, every time I back off thinking that I can achieve the core function, ie saving bookmarks with a cross platform notes app in addition to obsidian, my knowledge base.

[@FilipeDonadio]

Nice, Gaurav. I also considered to just add links to a list but I like the highlighting feature and the reading experience of these apps :)

[@hasanraheem5061]

Hello, Filipe
I use Pocket but I like them both.

[@_nikoru]

Thank you for this comparison, been looking for one. It made me decide which app to use! I decided with Pocket! I love the aesthetic of the UI more and the tag system. Also most feature I use is the text-to-speech, it sounds more natural.

[@FilipeDonadio]

Good choice!

[@critz8793]

I like Instapaper cuz what i do is just save novel chapters since i can’t download them in the website, it is also easy to use and you can add folders. Nice vid btw

[@FilipeDonadio]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@ishan.doescare]

I am using both currently and checking which is better for me...
Btw love your videos but why your subs are not in millions, you are really underrated..you deserves a lot of subs.
Edit: After watching video I am going towards pocket. Thanks for the help.

[@FilipeDonadio]

I very much appreciate your kind words, thank you!

Thank you!

[@birupanda6710]

Thank you for the comparison. In India, Insta paper costs ₹1,800 ($22) yearly while Pocket costs ₹530 ($6) yearly. So, pocket for the win!

Thanks for sharing!

[@venkateswaranc8694]

Im from India, and Pocket costs over 2000 per year on the app store, where did you find it to be 530 rupees per year?

[@birupanda6710]

@@venkateswaranc8694 I'm on my Android phone and within the Pocket application there's an in-app purchase for Pocket Yearly at ₹535

[@venkateswaranc8694]

@@birupanda6710 Would that purchase be applicable for the same pocket account on all my different devices?

[@birupanda6710]

Instapaper. Sending my articles to Kindle is the best part of it.

[@FilipeDonadio]

Thanks for sharing Iván!

[@Danny-xm1pe]

I like Instapaper (paid version) for my articles and Pocket (free version) for my videos.

[@FilipeDonadio]

Great idea Danny. Thanks for sharing!

[@thefusiverse1684]

Thanks for the video! Really good and to-the-point breakdown.

[@FilipeDonadio]

Very welcome!

[@santiagolv2838]

I used a HTLM script that helped me export my facebook/saved from FB to Pocket automatically. Liked Pocket overall , it has a great interface and its menus are easily browsable , would like to know more about its privacy and Telemetry terms...

[@FilipeDonadio]

Thanks for sharing Santiago

[@sebgro]

Mind sharing that script?

[@wyssdaniel]

I ditched both. And moved to Matter. Has a much better voice feature, which i simply love.

[@FilipeDonadio]

I need to give Matter a try. Thanks for sharing Daniel!

[@TLMuse]

Extremely well-done review; thank you!

[@FilipeDonadio]

Thanks 🙏

[@awkwardatlas5623]

Very helpful video. Thanks Filipe!

[@FilipeDonadio]

Happy to hear I've been helpful

[@vibhormaheshwary910]

Nicely explained. So, the pockets you use, is it free version or have you got the premium upgrade. Thinking of testing these out. And was thinking would free version be enough?

[@FilipeDonadio]

Thanks vibhor! I use the free version and it works fine for me :)

[@vimalramachandran]

Good comparison! I am a long time Pocket user but its premium version is pricey.

[@FilipeDonadio]

Thanks Vimal 👍

[@moderationjpk1]

After watch your video, Pocket wins for me haha!
Awesome explanation about both apps.
Thanks, Filipe!

[@FilipeDonadio]

Great to hear!

Muito bom o vídeo mano. 👏

[@FilipeDonadio]

Obrigado Thalisson!

[@jeweltilak767]

I've been using Instapaper for a while and its really good but at times images won't get saved which sucks. Does Pocket too has similar problem?

[@Danish-tj3yr]

I have both in my mobile, if i save same article in both then instapaper save more images than pocket.

[@samantalin]

That's a Very informative video, thanks a lot.

[@FilipeDonadio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@linhtuan1701]

I prefer Pocket. Instapaper font is ugly when displays article titles in my language 😩

[@FilipeDonadio]

I didn't know about this problem Linh

[@skhy77]

Very thorough video. Thank you.

I do wish Instapaper has a highlights panel.

[@FilipeDonadio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@zelenapotvora]

Any experience with WorldBrain's Memex?

[@FilipeDonadio]

haven't tried yet but I know it's a great option too

[@JosephFryling]

Was using Instapaper, but not that much, think I'll try Pocket now, Thanks!
