A start.me alternative with no ads
start.me is a good home for lots of bookmarks. Washi Deck is a start page for your day, with no ads and nothing to sign up for.
Start your deck
The short version
- Ads. start.me's free plan shows ads. Washi Deck has no ads on any plan.
- Account. start.me needs one. Washi Deck doesn't, unless you want your deck on more than one device.
- Calendar. On start.me the calendar widget is part of PRO. On Washi Deck, Google Calendar is free.
- Price. start.me PRO is $26 a year. Washi Pro is $12 once.
What start.me does that Washi Deck doesn't
Lots of bookmarks in groups, several pages, RSS feeds, and pages you can share with a team. If you mostly need a bookmark manager, start.me is built for that.
