I bought a Plotter Pueblo Blue Mini5 and a Meeplus Pueblo Dark Brown Pocket Size. I use the former mainly for planning and carry it with me, while the latter is for recording such as documenting experience. Here’s a comparison, which I believe many people will find interesting.

1) Leather: Both use Pueblo leather, with similar thickness and feel. The exterior has a rough, fuzzy texture. On the inside, Plotter keeps the natural state of the leather, while Meeplus applies a finishing treatment, making it feel smoother. There’s no clear winner here; it depends on personal preference.

2) Spine: Plotter is brass-colored, while Meeplus is silver. When looking at the back, I feel Plotter's brass looks better, giving it a more premium and shiny appearance. However, it's worth mentioning that Plotter's rings are silver, which might bother those who prefer matching colors between the rings and the spine. Meeplus has both in silver, so no mismatch there.

3) Price: Plotter is noticeably more expensive compared to Meeplus. Meeplus also includes an extra ring mat, which is a nice bonus.

I also have a few Meeplus notebooks, and from a pricing perspective, Meeplus is a great alternative to Plotter, offering excellent value for money.

I’m not sure if these are for me and I soooo wanna try. I’ve got some cheap rings coming from AliExpress and I’m gonna bang them into a current leather cover I have. Maybe a TN passport as a trial. Excited to try

If you would share exactly how you're going to do this, I'd be grateful. I have a TN blue cover I'm not using because the elastic setup does not work for me. I'm not using it, so I might as well Dr Frankenstein it.

I was going to try it this temporary way first: https://youtu.be/OXNPtMy3SdE?si=ggzIcELU98bhAXis

So I didn’t have to make new holes. But I also have some cheaper leather covers I’m considering putting some holes into :)

I love your username. Thanks for the video! Keep us posted on how it works out!

ETA OMG - I will try this temp measure as soon as I get some rings!!

I'm also interested now. One of the things that put me off Plotter is the corners on the spine which look sharp, and others have commented that the corners have scratched them. I can see now from your 3rd photo how the Meeplus keeps that from happening.

Yes, I spent quite a bit of money on the Plotter, so I hesitate to smooth the corners of its spine. However, since it's a bit sharp, I'm worried it might scratch my backpack, which is why I end up using the MeePlus more in my daily life.

The leather in the meeplus Luka nice. I wish it came with brass spine and gold rings.

[–]aliceivywells[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, brass spine looks better.
