## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. LinkHut is an open-source social bookmarking site in the Pinboard style, with tagged bookmarks, public discovery and RSS. No pricing page was found, so what it costs or limits is unconfirmed, and the footer shows version 0.1.8. Bookmarks on the home page are public.

- **Value for money: C.** No pricing page was found, so there is no price to grade, and it sits at the ordinary C.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Sign-up is open, but with no pricing page we can't say what is free or what it costs later.
- **Features: C.** Tagged bookmarks, public discovery, an RSS feed and open source. It does the bookmarking job at a basic level, and little else is documented on the pages read.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and little documentation on the pages read, so some learning is likely.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** A website only, with no apps or integrations listed.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** LinkHut is free, so making your own would save you nothing. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 61 of the 66 other read-later and bookmark apps grade higher.

- You could make: Bookmarks and rSS reader: an app builder makes these well.
