Where Sortbase is stronger
- Mature Gemini and Grok. Sortbase has treated those sites as first-class for a while. Chatsavo has a panel on Gemini, Grok, Alice, DeepSeek and Perplexity, but support is still in testing: the chat list can be incomplete, and Alice has no separate list.
- Sync without a passphrase. Sortbase folders travel on their own. Chatsavo has sync: folders, placement, prompts, tags, bookmarks, chains and rules are encrypted with a passphrase into browser sync. Chat texts are not included. Deleting on one computer does not delete on the other.
- Track record. Easy Folders has been around since 2024, with a settled, simple interface and many users.
If you work a lot in Gemini or Grok and need sync today, Sortbase is the more convenient option right now.
Where Chatsavo is better
- Search that understands word forms. "Sales report" also finds "reports" and "reporting on sales". One-letter typos are forgiven, and a phrase in quotes is matched as a whole. Russian is fully supported too.
- Search takes you to the message. Click a result and Chatsavo opens the chat and scrolls to the match.
- Fast. Across 5,000 chats, search answers in hundredths of a second: in our benchmark on a synthetic set, 95% of queries finish within 9 ms.
- Filters.
site:,folder:,before:,after:,role:meorrole:ai,has:code. - Free, all of it. Every feature, with no trial, no card and no surprise charges.
- Your data doesn't reach our servers. Folders and chat text stay in your browser. The extension sends nothing to our servers.
- Price. Chatsavo is free — more on the Free page.
- Russian AIs. Alice is already in testing, GigaChat comes later. Sortbase doesn't support them.
What Chatsavo doesn't do yet
- GigaChat;
- full chat-list parity on Gemini, Grok, Alice, DeepSeek and Perplexity (the panel is there, support is in testing; Alice has no separate list);
- “continue in another AI”;
- automatic updates from a store: the build is installed from a zip by hand.
How to switch
JSON of folders and links from Sortbase can be imported in Chatsavo settings. Message text from the file is not read.
- Keep Sortbase on while you move. Even if your subscription has ended, your folders there stay viewable, which makes them a handy reference.
- Install Chatsavo and open ChatGPT or Claude. The Chatsavo panel appears on the left.
- Recreate your structure. Click "New folder" for each top-level folder. For nested ones, open a folder's menu and choose "Subfolder" (up to 5 levels).
- File your chats. Drag a chat from the site's list into a Chatsavo folder, or choose "Move to…" in the chat's menu.
- Fill the search. Chatsavo saves a chat's text when you open it. Open your important old chats once and they become searchable by text.
- Check it. Press Alt+Shift+F and search for a word from the middle of an old conversation.
- Download your data in settings: "Download everything (JSON)". Files up to 25 MB are restorable in this version; larger files are export-only.
