Compendro vs Pocket
Compendro is a read-later app for articles, videos and podcasts, and a Pocket alternative for people who want their saves to come back to them. Pocket was Mozilla's read-later app until Mozilla shut it down on July 8, 2025.
Last reviewed October 2026
Built for people who save a lot and rarely get back to it.
Why Compendro
Saving is easy in any read-later app. Compendro adds the part that comes after.
Your saves come back to you
A short digest brings back a selection of what you saved, each with an AI summary. You choose when and how often it arrives.
Decide in seconds
Every save gets an AI summary, tags and a category, so you can tell what to read, watch or drop without opening it.
Videos and podcasts too
Compendro creates a transcript for videos and podcasts up to 2 hours long, then writes the summary from it.
Got ten minutes? Finish something
Quick Pick suggests saves that take about the time you have, one card at a time.
If you need a Pocket alternative, Compendro starts with the part Pocket users know: save an article, a video or a podcast in one tap from your browser or your phone. Then it helps with the part where saves pile up. Your saves get an AI summary, a short digest newsletter brings a selection back to you as often as you choose, and Quick Pick suggests saves that take about ten minutes when you have ten minutes. Compendro is a paid app, at €8.99 per month or €59 per year. If you kept your Pocket export, know that Compendro does not currently offer a bulk import, so you start with a fresh queue.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best Pocket alternative?
It depends on what you did with Pocket. If you saved a lot and rarely went back, Compendro is built for that: it summarizes your saves and brings a selection back to you in a digest newsletter, as often as you choose. If you mainly want to highlight, organize bookmarks or read in a minimal reader, look at Readwise Reader, Raindrop.io or Instapaper.
What happened to Pocket?
Mozilla shut Pocket down on July 8, 2025. It stopped new downloads and Premium purchases on May 22, 2025, refunded annual Premium subscribers, and gave users a limited time to export their saves before the data was permanently deleted.
Can I import my Pocket export into Compendro?
Compendro does not currently offer a bulk import, so you start with a fresh queue and save new links in one tap. If you kept your export, keep a backup of the file. Readwise Reader and Raindrop.io both say they can import a Pocket export.
Is there a Pocket alternative with AI summaries?
Yes. Compendro adds an AI summary, tags and a category to the articles, videos and podcasts you save. For videos and podcasts up to 2 hours long, it creates a transcript first and writes the summary from it.
Does Compendro work in Firefox?
Yes. Compendro has a browser extension for Firefox, Chrome and Safari on Mac, and apps for iPhone and Android, so you can save in one tap from your browser or your phone.
How much does Compendro cost?
Compendro is €8.99 per month or €59 per year, and both plans have a 14-day money-back guarantee. Pocket is no longer available, and Mozilla stopped selling Pocket Premium on May 22, 2025.
