Stashr vs Pinboard
Pinboard is a fast, private, no-nonsense home for web links, loved by a minimalist and technical crowd. Stashr is built for social saves instead: it captures each X, Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok bookmark the moment you tap it, keeps its own copy of the text and images so a post survives deletion, and adds AI tagging and search by meaning. Pinboard saves links by hand, its old Twitter integration is gone, and a permanent copy costs extra and only covers web pages.

Common questions
The verdict
If you want a spartan, lightning-fast, private place to file web links and you trust a one-person shop to keep it running for years, Pinboard is excellent and well loved, and its flat annual price is honest. The gap shows the moment your saves live on social. Pinboard saves links by hand, its Twitter integration is gone for good after X's API price hike, and keeping an actual copy of a page costs an extra tier and only works on the open web, never a post behind a login. Stashr captures each X, Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok save the instant you tap it, keeps its own copy of the text and images so the post survives deletion at no extra tier, and adds modern AI tagging and search by meaning. If your library lives on social, Stashr is the safer and smarter home.
