Workflow comparison
Stashiro vs Milanote
Looking for a Milanote alternative? Compare how Stashiro and Milanote collect references and plan creative projects, and which workflow fits your work.
Try Stashiro locallyThe short answer
Both are boards where you arrange notes, images and links and share them. Stashiro goes further in three places: your clipboard, Telegram and ChatGPT feed the board, one search reads the pages and PDFs you saved, and unlimited cards cost less. Milanote's own edge is its template library and its phone apps.
Where Stashiro is stronger
It reads what you save
Stashiro keeps the text of a saved page or PDF, and the description of a saved video, finds a link by a phrase in it and shows it in a reading view. On the Plus and Studio plans it can summarize that text, add tags to new links, saved notes and images, describe images so search finds them and transcribe voice notes. Milanote's help pages describe a search across your boards and labels you add. They do not describe search inside saved pages, a reading view or AI summaries.
More ways to bring material in
Besides the extension for Chrome and Edge, Stashiro has a desktop clipboard app for Windows and Apple Silicon Macs and a Telegram bot for links, photos and audio. Milanote's pages describe a Web Clipper and mobile apps. They do not describe clipboard history or Telegram.
It works with ChatGPT and Claude today
Stashiro has an app in the ChatGPT store and an MCP connection for Claude and other clients. An assistant can read a board you name or add cards to it. Milanote lists an MCP server among the upcoming features its users can vote on.
A lower price for unlimited cards
Stashiro Starter is 4.79 EUR per month and Plus is 8.99 EUR. Milanote's pay-per-person plan is 12.50 USD per month, or 9.99 USD per month billed annually.
You can start with no account
A local board opens in the browser without signing up. Milanote's free plan needs an account.
It keeps your links tidy
Stashiro tells you when you save a link you already have, lists the duplicates and checks a board's links for broken ones. Milanote's help pages do not describe duplicate or broken link checks.
Where Milanote is stronger
Templates
Milanote has a library of templates for moodboards, creative briefs and storyboards. In Stashiro you start from a blank board, or ask Stashiro AI to lay out a first board from a prompt on the Plus and Studio plans.
Phone apps
Milanote has iOS and Android apps. Stashiro has no app in the phone stores: it runs in your phone's browser, and you can send links, photos and voice notes to a board through the Telegram bot.
Free cloud plan and team plan
Milanote's free plan keeps 100 notes, images or links in the cloud, and it sells a plan for teams. Stashiro's free boards need no account and stay in your browser. Cloud boards start at 4.79 EUR per month. Plans are per person, and you invite people to a board to view, add sources or edit.
