Start.me review
A flexible bookmark dashboard with strong sharing and workspace features, but limited archival depth.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Start.me is a cloud-based bookmark manager and customizable start-page service for individuals, teams, educators, researchers, and organizations. It lets users save links through browser extensions, mobile apps, or bookmarklets, then arrange them into pages, widgets, and groups. Pages can be shared publicly, privately, or with teams, while notes, tasks, RSS feeds, calendars, and other widgets extend the dashboard beyond simple link storage.
The pricing structure starts with a Free plan that supports unlimited bookmarks, up to 3 start pages, and basic widgets, but includes advertising. The 30-day free trial provides a way to evaluate the service before choosing a paid plan. PRO adds unlimited start pages, 27 PRO features and widgets, no advertisements, AI features, and broken and duplicate-link detection. Team adds 1 team workspace, custom subdomain and branding, SAML2 single sign-on, priority support, and the option to add additional users. Enterprise adds unlimited users, multiple team workspaces, a dedicated support manager, and custom invoicing and plans.
Start.me fits users who want a visual bookmark dashboard across the web, iOS, Android, and Chrome. Imports and exports support moving bookmarks in and out, while Google Calendar, Google Tasks, Trello, and AdSense are listed integrations. Search covers bookmarks across pages and descriptions, and team permissions support shared workspaces. The product is less suited to buyers seeking web archiving or full-text search: its archive feature preserves Start.me pages and bookmarks rather than copies of external webpages. Choose it for organized dashboards, sharing, and collaboration; choose an alternative when preserving webpage content is the primary requirement.
