Savepad as an Eden alternative
Eden comes with a big ready-made library of ads, ranks them, and puts AI writing tools right next to your swipe file so you can turn an ad into a script. If you want to research ads and write with AI in one place, that's the pitch. Savepad is the opposite bet: your own references, kept properly, and you do the writing.
Where Eden wins
A library from day one
Eden ships with a big library of ads to search. Savepad starts empty and only knows what you save.
Writing tools
AI that turns saved ads into scripts and copy. Savepad has no AI at all.
Ad research
Brand and ad search on its Pro plan. Savepad doesn't go looking for anything.
Where Savepad wins
More than ads
Landing pages, emails, onboarding flows, PDFs, fonts, and screenshots you can search.
No AI
Nothing in Savepad writes for you or reads your saves with a model.
Price
Eden Pro is $79 a month. Savepad is free for 150 saves, then €4.99 or €9.99.

FAQs
Why doesn't Savepad have AI writing tools?
Because you saved these for their taste, and a model averages taste out. The philosophy page has the long version.
Can I use Savepad and Eden together?
Sure. Lots of people keep Eden for what it's best at and use Savepad as their swipe file. You can export everything from Savepad whenever you like, so you're never locked in.
Does Savepad use AI?
Nope. No summaries, no auto-tagging, and nothing gets sent to a model. If you want AI, connect your own over MCP.
