    wallabag has many of the features that Pocket has and is a great and totally free alternative. The reading experience is clean and free from distractions. What makes it even more attractive is the fact that it’s open source and can be self-hosted, which makes it a good solution if you value privacy. If you need hosting, wallabag offers a competitive price for only €9 per year. With migration tools for Pocket, Instapaper, and more, existing users of those services can switch quickly to wallabag. There are apps and plugins for many operating systems, RSS readers, and browsers, but their quality is not always equal. There’s an API so developers can build their own apps or get involved in the open source project.

  4. Tagpacker icon
     129 likes

    Tagpacker is more of a bookmarking platform than a fully-featured solution to save and consume content on the web. If you prefer to save links and read them in their original format on the website it was first published, then Tagpacker could be a good and free alternative to Pocket. The lack of apps for Android and other systems is a con for some, but the features for collecting, organizing, and searching for your content is considered extensive.
