Both apps help you save and organize the things you find online, but they are built on different philosophies. One is a cross-platform bookmark manager; the other is a private library for everything you save.
What Raindrop.io does well
Raindrop.io is a mature, well-designed bookmark manager. It offers tags, nested collections, a web app and clients across many platforms, so your bookmarks follow you everywhere. If you save a lot of links and love organizing them with tags, it is excellent — and genuinely cross-platform, which EZ Save is not yet.
Where the two differ
Raindrop is cloud-based: your saved items live on its servers. That is convenient for syncing across every device, but it means your data sits with the provider. EZ Save instead stores everything in your own iCloud — Apple's private CloudKit database — with no developer server in the middle, and locks the library behind Face ID.
How EZ Save is different
EZ Save is not only for links. It saves photos, videos and documents alongside your bookmarks, in folders, all in one private library. It is the better fit if privacy and saving more than links matter to you; Raindrop is the better fit if cross-platform tagging is your priority.
| Feature | Raindrop.io | EZ Save |
|---|---|---|
| Save links & bookmarks | ✓ | ✓ |
| Save photos, videos & documents | Limited | ✓ |
| Organize | Tags & collections | Folders |
| Stored in your own iCloud (no dev server) | ✗ | ✓ |
| Lock behind Face ID / PIN | ✗ | ✓ |
| Platforms | Web, iOS, Android & more | iOS & Android |
The verdict: Choose Raindrop.io if you want cross-platform bookmarking with tags. Choose EZ Save if you want one private library for links and media, stored in your own iCloud and locked to you.
