CodeKeep vs Opengist

CodeKeep is a web and extension service for organizing, sharing and discovering code snippets. Pressing “Paste” on a website opens an Add Snippet dialog, after which snippets can be placed in folders and filtered with labels. Users can share folders, bookmark folders from other users and browse reusable snippets in CodeKeep’s discovery area. A screenshot editor provides templates, image and background additions and social accounts. CodeKeep says its VS Code and Google Chrome extensions import and export snippets, and the site includes dark mode. The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited public code snippets, up to 40 folders, up to 20 bookmarks and the VS Code extension. It excludes private snippets and private folders, and screenshots carry a watermark. The Pro plan costs $4.99 a month and adds unlimited private snippets, folders and bookmarks, private folders, folder icons and watermark-free screenshots. The privacy policy says information is retained only as necessary, protected with commercially acceptable measures and not shared publicly or with third parties except when required by law.

Opengist is a free, open-source pastebin that you host yourself, with Git as its storage and workflow. Every snippet is a Git repository: users can create snippets with a plain Git push, or clone and push over HTTP or SSH. Visibility can be public, unlisted, or private, and snippets may contain multiple files, binary files, and images, with ZIP downloads available. Users can browse revision history, compare changes with diffs, and search full text, code, and metadata. Rendering includes syntax highlighting for hundreds of languages plus Markdown, Mermaid, LaTeX, CSV, and media files. Login options include GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, OIDC, and LDAP; TOTP and WebAuthn are listed for account security. Deployment options are a single binary, Docker, or Kubernetes with SQLite, PostgreSQL, or MySQL. A REST API, embeds, JSON retrieval, topics, likes, and forks are also provided.
