Never lose your place again. One tap, and Spotify starts the exact chapter you stopped on. One show is free. Every further show — archived ones still count — needs the one-time unlock, no subscription. You need the Spotify app with Premium. How it works: 1. Play an audiobook or audio drama that Spotify stores as an album. 2. Share the current track to Plotkeep via "••• → Share." 3. Later, tap ▶ in the list — Spotify starts your saved chapter. • Cover art, title, and your spot at a glance, such as "Part 9 of 25" • One tap back to Spotify, straight to the right chapter • For audiobooks and audio dramas stored as albums in Spotify • Active and archive tabs: swipe finished series into the archive, swipe the other way to delete • Light and dark, follows your system • No account, no sign-up — your list stays on your device • One show free, unlimited with Pro. One-time purchase, no subscription With Pro, keep several series side by side, each at its own spot. Good to know • Always share the track that is playing. Plotkeep cannot save album, audiobook, playlist, or podcast links. • Every saved show counts, archived ones included. Only deleting frees a slot again. • Without Spotify Premium, Spotify only shuffles albums on mobile — so an audio drama cannot be heard in order at all. • If Spotify is already running, one tap is enough. If it was closed, the first tap is not reliable — tap once more and your chapter starts. That is Spotify's behavior, not Plotkeep's. Plotkeep is an independent app and is not affiliated with Spotify AB.

Verdict

The call

Ruum Hub and Plotkeep are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
