reflo vs Dewey: which one fits how you use X bookmarks?

Looking for a Dewey alternative for X bookmarks? An honest look at who should pick Dewey, who should pick reflo, and what each one costs.

By Rajat(@ThisIsRajat24)Published 4 min read

If you're someone who files things, Dewey is probably the better pick. I'm saying that as the person who builds the other one.

Both start from your X bookmarks. Dewey helps you organize them, while reflo skips the organizing and brings saves back when you're working on something they help with. What I say about Dewey below comes from its own site, checked on October 5, 2026.

The short version

Pick Dewey if you save from more than X, you like folders and tags, you want to export your bookmarks, or you want a free plan.

Pick reflo if most of your saves are on X, you've tried folders before and never opened them again, and what you usually remember is the problem you're working on, not the post.

What Dewey does

Dewey started out as a Twitter bookmark manager. Today it collects bookmarks from X plus LinkedIn, Bluesky, Threads, Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, Substack and your browser, all in one library.

Once your saves are in, you organize them with folders, tags and notes, and you can search across bookmarks, tags, authors and notes. An AI feature tags thousands of bookmarks in bulk: you describe your interests, it proposes tags, and you approve them before they're applied.

It's also strong on getting your data out. You can export to CSV, PDF or a Google Sheet (media included), sync new bookmarks into Notion, push them to an RSS feed, share public folders and connect several accounts.

The Chrome extension is the core of it. Dewey's own setup guide calls it "the backbone of the entire product".

Price, from getdewey.co/pricing:

  • Free: manual syncing, basic search, one connected account
  • Pro: $10 a month, or $7.50 a month billed yearly (automatic syncing, advanced search, unlimited accounts)
  • Lifetime: $225 once
  • Export Pass: $50, valid for 48 hours

The free plan doesn't include tags, the AI tagging or any export. Tags and the AI tagging come with Pro. The exports and the Notion and Google Sheets syncs come with Pro billed yearly, Lifetime or the Export Pass, but not with Pro billed monthly.

What reflo does

reflo only works with X. You sign in with your X account (read-only, nothing to install) and it reads your most recent 500 saves on day one, then 500 new ones each month, picking up new saves every night.

There's no organizing step. When you're working on something, you type it in your own words, like "designing my landing page" or "making a launch video". reflo reads inside your saves (the text in screenshots, what's said in videos, the page behind a link, the full thread) and brings back only the ones that help, each with a short reason why it fits. If nothing fits, it tells you instead of padding the answer.

It has no folders, tags or export, on purpose. Better you read that here than find out after paying.

Price: $12 a month or $99 a year for the first 20 accounts, locked for good. After that it's $21 a month or $179 a year. There's no free plan.

The main difference between Dewey and reflo

Dewey asks for a little work when you save, or soon after: folders, tags, maybe the AI's suggested tags. Later you browse or search what you built. Keep that habit and you end up with a tidy library you own and can export. Plenty of people want exactly that, and Dewey does it well.

With reflo you do nothing at save time. When you're stuck on something, you describe it, and reflo goes through your saves for you.

I built it that way because I gave up on organizing my own saves, and I never opened them again when I was actually building something. Every X bookmark tool I looked at before building reflo, Dewey included, was built around organizing them.

Who should pick Dewey

  • You save on several networks and want them in one place.
  • You want your bookmarks in a file you own, or synced into Notion.
  • You enjoy organizing, and you go back to your folders.
  • You want to share collections publicly.
  • You want to try it free before paying.

Who should pick reflo

  • Almost all of your saving happens on X.
  • You've made folders before and stopped opening them.
  • You usually remember what you're working on, not who posted what or which words they used.
  • A lot of what you save is screenshots, videos, long threads or links.
  • You're fine paying for it, and 500 saves on day one plus 500 a month covers how much you save.

Can you use Dewey and reflo together?

Yes. reflo only reads your X bookmarks and never changes them, so it won't get in Dewey's way. If you like Dewey for filing and exporting but want the right save back while you work, running both is a reasonable setup.
