XSaved vs Dewey vs Tweetsmash vs Twillot:
an honest comparison

Dewey is the biggest name in the category — around 8,000 Chrome Web Store users (3.5 stars) ^[3], though its homepage says "50,000+ members" (accounts, not installs). It's a capable web library: sync, tagging, an AI bulk-tagger, folders.

Pricing is where you should slow down.Dewey's own pricing page lists Pro at $10/mo ($7.50/mo billed annually), a $225 lifetime plan — and a $50 "Export Pass," valid for 48 hours, for getting your bookmarks out ^[1]. Exporting is otherwise tied to annual billing, and paying monthly doesn't cover it. Users discover this after paying: one Chrome Web Store review from March 2026 reads, "their pricing table shows that the $10/mo Pro plan includes Export features, but after I paid and synced my 7,000+ bookmarks, they blocked the export and demanded a yearly subscription or an extra 'Export Pass'" ^[2]. Another reviewer notes that "switching to monthly billing will lose you key features, such as exporting, Google Sheets and Notion integration" ^[2].

How XSaved differs:export is free, on every plan, permanently. They're your bookmarks. Charging you to leave is a business model we think the category should be embarrassed by. Dewey also has no iOS app, and its AI (bulk tagging) runs in the cloud; XSaved's iOS intelligence runs on your phone, so your bookmarks aren't shipped to a server to be organized.

Where Dewey is ahead of us:it's been around longer, supports Firefox ^[4], and its web library UI is mature. If you want a browser-and-desktop-web experience and never touch your phone for bookmarks, it's a reasonable tool — on annual billing.

Tweetsmash (~4,000 Chrome Web Store users, 4.3 stars ^[7]) is the most feature-complete tool in the category for getting bookmarks out of X and into other tools: scheduled Notion export, Google Sheets, email digests, a thread reader, Zotero sync, even a REST API and an MCP server for AI agents on the Yearly Pass ^[6]. It's well built and the team ships steadily.

Pricing: $14/mo for the single-account Reader Pass ($84 billed yearly), or $99/yr for up to three accounts with export and API access ^[5]. That's the highest monthly entry price in this comparison — the other tools' paid plans start at $4.99–$10.

On search:Tweetsmash's search is full-text, and its paid plans add an AI chat layer over your bookmarks ("chat with your bookmarks") ^[6]. That's a real feature, but it's a cloud AI conversation about your bookmarks — their own search documentation doesn't claim semantic search ^[8]. XSaved's approach is different: on the iPhone app, the search box itself understands meaning ("that thread about burnout" finds it even if the word "burnout" never appears), and the model doing that runs on your device, not on a server.

Where Tweetsmash is ahead of us:if your endgame is Notion, Sheets, digests, or plugging bookmarks into an agent pipeline, Tweetsmash does integrations we don't. No native mobile app though — their mobile story is a PWA ^[6].

Twillot (~10,000 Chrome Web Store users, 4.1 stars ^[9]) is an extension-plus-dashboard tool with tiered pricing: Mini $4.99/mo, Basic $9.99/mo, Pro $19.99/mo, with annual discounts ^[10]. Its AI does classification — topics, sentiment — in the cloud; search is a fast local keyword index ^[11].

On billing: be careful at checkout. A February 2026 Chrome Web Store review called the billing page out for "deceptive visual hierarchies" — selecting a plan defaulted to yearly billing with the small monthly figure displayed prominently ^[12]. In fairness: it's one detailed review, not a documented pattern, and the developer publicly replied promising to show the total price clearly and default to monthly. We're including it because checkout clarity is exactly the thing this page exists to compare — check what the total charge is before you confirm.

How XSaved differs:one paid plan, stated everywhere identically — Pro at $7.99/mo or $79.99/yr, half price if you have X Premium — and the free tier is actually usable: import, browse, keyword search, export, no item quota on core use. Twillot's free tier caps at 1,000 items with feature quotas ^[10]. And, again: no mobile app — Twillot's site has a "Join Mobile Waitlist" button ^[11].

Where Twillot is ahead of us: its Mini tier undercuts our Pro price, its multi-tier ladder lets you pay for exactly one capability level, and 10K installs is real adoption.
