What you give up vs Raindrop.io
- Article fetching can fail on JavaScript-heavy pages that require a headless browser
- The mobile apps lag slightly behind native apps in polish and offline sync speed
- No built-in social or sharing features
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Wallabag on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Raindrop.io: pro subscription for full-text search and backups).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (MIT).
