Ultimate discbound planners comparison (9 different discbound systems) plus my favorite

I’ve raved about discbound planners a few times here on the blog. If you’re not yet convinced see this post and this post. If you’re on the hunt for a discbound notebook or planner, I’ve done a comparison table to aid your search!

My 2 personal favorites are MAMBI and the ARC by Staples:

MAMBI

• So many options to choose from
• Most affordable, best for beginners trying disbound first time
• Multiple page sizes
• An overwhelming number of accessories to choose from
• Good paper quality (not much ghosting or bleed through – see this post for a pen test)

ARC by Staples

• Expensive leather covers but they last a long time (have had mine for 7 years and still in great condition)
• Paper inserts are thick with minimal pen ghosting and bleed through
• Comes in A5 page size (which the MAMBI does not)

I did a detailed comparison between the 2 in this post: ARC by Staples versus MAMBI – Which discbound system is better?
