Diigo vs Start.me

Diigo is a personal knowledge-management tool for collecting, annotating, and organizing web material. While browsing on a computer, tablet, or phone, users can mark pages with highlights and sticky notes, then save links, pages, notes, and pictures in a cloud library. Saved pages can be archived and searched in full text. Groups can maintain shared repositories where members browse material and interact with page annotations. Diigo also supports saving items from social media, capturing links and notes by email, importing bookmarks from browsers, Delicious, or Pinboard, and exporting libraries and annotated PDFs. Its listed services include an API, blog auto-publishing, tagrolls, and linkrolls. Diigo offers a browser extension, apps for Android and iOS, and Quick Note on Mac. The free plan allows 1,000 bookmarks or notes and 200 highlights, but has limits on other items and groups. Paid plans are Standard at $5 a month and Professional at $6 a month. Diigo says browsing history is not recorded except for pages specifically bookmarked to its servers.

Start.me is a visual start page and bookmark manager for organizing websites, tools, RSS feeds, notes, and widgets on customizable pages. Users can group links into pages and widgets, then import or export bookmarks. Pages are hosted online and stay in sync across browsers and devices. Widgets include notes, tasks, calendars, clocks, focus timers, RSS feeds, charts, weather, financial information, and embedded content. Optional AI tools can tidy bookmark titles, sort links, or suggest sites, and operate only when selected. Pages can be shared publicly or privately; teams can collaborate in shared workspaces with role-based access. Team controls include SSO/SAML 2.0, administration, branding, and custom subdomains. The personal Free plan allows up to three start pages, basic widgets, and includes advertising. PRO costs $25 a year and adds unlimited pages, more features and widgets, no ads, and AI features. Team costs $25 a month, billed annually, and includes 10 users, a team workspace, branding, a custom subdomain, and SAML2 SSO. Start.me is available on Android, iOS, web, and as a browser extension.
