NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep paying — OpenAI has not replaced it
OpenAI's version overlaps, but does not finish the notes & knowledge job, so this one still earns its $3/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- AI assistants can recall pages you mention without a bookmark. OpenAI, January 1, 2025 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 1 of 2 listed replacements have a usable free tier: Pocket alternatives.
- What the call is worth $36/yr
- $3/mo at the entry paid tier — $36 a year per seat.

The backstory
Raindrop is the bookmarking tool people actually keep using, with permanent copies of pages that later disappear. That archive matters more as the web gets noisier and link rot accelerates — an assistant cannot retrieve a page that no longer exists.
