wallabag

Linkwarden

Linkwarden Cloud has no free plan, and its 14-day trial needs a credit card and bills automatically when it ends.
Each Cloud seat covers 30,000 links; saving more means paying for extra seats at the same per-user price.
Single sign-on is listed for Enterprise and self-hosted users only.
Refunds are offered only when requested within 3 days of the first payment.

wallabag

The hosted wallabag.it service has no free plan: after the 14-day trial it costs 4 € for 3 months or 11 € a year, and prices are in euros only.
During the wallabag.it trial, saving by email, RSS and Atom feeds and imports from other services are switched off.
Using wallabag at no cost means installing it on your own server and handling backups and upgrades yourself.
The iOS app went closed source with its own paid features from version 7.6, and the project no longer presents it as the official iOS app.

Full-page preservation: Each saved page is captured as a screenshot, a PDF and a single HTML file, and can optionally be sent to the Wayback Machine for a snapshot.
Reader view with highlights: Saved articles open in a dedicated reader view where the font style can be adjusted and text can be highlighted and annotated.
Collections, tags and AI tagging: Links are organized into collections and sub-collections with multiple tags, and optional AI tagging labels new links based on their content.
Sharing and collaboration: Invite other people to gather links in a collection with permissions set per member, or share a collection and its preserved copies publicly.
Search, RSS feeds and bulk actions: Full-text search with advanced operators and filters, RSS feed subscriptions that add new articles to a collection, bulk editing, and import and export.
Apps, browser extension and API: iOS and Android apps, an open-source extension for Chrome, Firefox and Safari, browser bookmark sync through Floccus, and an API secured with access tokens.

wallabag

Article extraction and reading view: wallabag pulls the article content out of a saved page and stores the readable text in your account, shown in a distraction-free view that adapts to phones and tablets.
Tags, filters and full-text search: Saved articles can be tagged, marked as favorites, filtered and found again through a search engine that covers their full text.
Highlights and annotations: An annotation system lets you highlight extracts in an article and write notes against them.
Mobile apps and browser add-ons: Android and iOS apps download saved articles for offline reading, and Chrome and Firefox add-ons save the page you are on in one click.
Feeds, e-readers and export: Unread, starred, archived or tagged articles can be published as private RSS or Atom feeds, sent to Kobo and PocketBook e-readers with community apps, and exported as PDF, ePUB, mobi, JSON, CSV, txt or HTML.
Imports from other services: Reading lists can be imported from Pocket, Instapaper, Pinboard, Omnivore, Shaarli, another wallabag instance or any RSS or Atom feed, keeping tags and read and favorite status.
