| Privacy | The product requirements state there are no third-party analytics and that content fetched server-side stays on the self-hosted instance. | The hosted service says it is funded by subscriptions rather than advertising, tracking, or selling user data. |
| Purpose | Burkmak is a self-hosted, multi-user read-it-later app for saving links, reading articles, highlighting text, syncing with Kobo, and exporting notes to Obsidian. | wallabag saves web articles, extracts their content, and presents them in a clean reading view for later. |
Burkmak suits self-hosters, Kobo readers, and note-takers who want to collect articles and keep highlights in Obsidian. Its single-instance design is aimed at a limited number of accounts, not multi-instance high availability.
wallabag suits readers who want to save articles for later reading, organize them, and annotate them. Its self-hosted edition may suit people who want control over their instance and its data.
