Which one is for you
Pick Flomo if
- Fits if you jot thoughts down from WeChat and review them later
- Works for Chinese readers who want capture and review, not an all-in-one workspace
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you can't read Chinese, because the site and help centre have no English version
- Tight if you stay free: 500MB of storage, compressed images and no review tools
- Watch out: prices are in yuan, with no dollar price, and the page says they may change
- Too light for long, formatted documents, as notes are short and plain
Pick mymind if
- Fits if you collect images, references and quotes and don't want to file them
- Works for finding saved things by color or by a word inside a screenshot
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to bring your old bookmarks in, as there's no bulk import
- Pricey if you want saved articles kept in full, because that's Mastermind at $12.99 a month
- Tight if you're staying free, since the Guest plan ends at 100 cards and an account past that can't return to it
- Not for you if you're on Windows, Linux or an iPad, where the help center points you to the browser version
- Watch out: sign-up is Google or Apple only, and the $4.99 Bookmarker plan has none of the AI features
How we grade them
| 3.0GPAFlomoVery good | 2.0GPAmymindFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | APRO is 99 yuan a year and MAX 299 yuan, both far under the $5.99 a month the category's middle plan costs. Prices are in yuan only, and the page says they may change. | DThe Bookmarker is $4.99 a month but comes without the AI, which is the reason to pick mymind. Automatic image tagging needs Student of Life at $7.99, and Reading Mode, article backup and summaries need Mastermind at $12.99, where notes apps here sit at $6 in the middle. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree accounts get notes, multi-level tags, search and sync on every platform, with 500MB for images and files; text doesn't count. One person can live on that. | CThe Guest plan is free with no time limit and most features, but it stops at 100 cards and a keen saver gets there in a week. Worse, once an account holds more than 100 cards it can't go back to free. |
| Features | CCapture, tags, search and voice notes. The review tools, API and MCP connection are PRO, and notes are short and plain, with no formatting. | CAutomatic tags, links shown by type like recipe or book, search by color or by words inside a screenshot, quick notes and a Focus Mode for longer drafts. It does save-and-search fully, and that's a smaller job: there's no bulk import from other tools and no collaboration by design. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Capture is quick, but the site and help centre are Chinese only, which is a hurdle for English readers. | C4.04 from about 420 App Store ratings, under the 4.5 a B asks for. The idea itself is simple, save it and search for it later with no folders. Sign-up is through a Google or Apple account only. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android and a browser extension, plus WeChat input, a developer API and an MCP connection for tools such as ChatGPT and Claude. | BWeb, Mac, iPhone and Android, plus extensions for Chrome, Brave, Safari and Edge. No Windows or Linux app, no dedicated iPad app, and the listing shows no integrations and no API. |
| Best for | quick short notes, especially via WeChat | saving links and images without filing them |

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
