9 Best Bullet Journals At a Glance
*Unlike some of our other posts on journals, there is very little that differentiates these dotted / grid journals. For most, it comes down to the cover, number of pages, and weight of pages (the higher the gsm, the less likely the pages will bleed through). **To be honest, you could bullet journal with any type of paper or journal, but most gravitate toward dotted / grid journals, which we’ve ranked here.

It has a sturdy sewn elastic pen holder, expandable pocket, elastic closure strap, and a ribbon bookmark. Everything you could need at a reasonable price. “I am super conscious of my consumption and try to consume recycled products when purchasing new things. It took me a bit of searching to find this gem but once I found it, I knew it was perfect! I love the look and feel of the cork exterior and love that it isn’t leather like all those other bullet journals.” – Verified Amazon Customer 
This journal has a little bit of everything: nice cover, lays flat, has a bookmark. But what separates it is the paper – fairly thicker than any others on our list. Its pages also have glossy edges which is a nice touch. The cover is also pretty unique – one of the only on our lists not employing faux leather. “Great notebook. I had no expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cover is gorgeous – hardcover, textured, beautiful color – and the edges are foiled! The paper itself is good quality – holds up with no bleeding.” – Verified Amazon Customer 
At an incredible value, this notebook has all the features you’d want in your first bullet journal: a sturdy faux leather hardcover, inner pocket, attached elastic closure, and plenty of note-taking space with 128 pages. The pages are made of acid-free paper, withstanding damage from light and air for long-lasting performance. “I’ve been looking at bullet journals for a long time… They had a few at local bookstores, but they were so overpriced—$20 for a paperback that flipped open upward and was hardly good quality! I wanted a good journal, but I didn’t want to overspend. That’s when I found this one—an easy $9 for a hard cover.” – Verified Amazon Customer 
This bullet journal boasts a smooth PU leather hard cover with elastic closure and bookmark ribbon, along with all the staples of any great journal. And coming in at just around $9, this journal may very well be the best value of the bunch here. “This has been a great bullet journal for me. The pages are thick so no seeing through. It’s a great size and the dots are not to hold to distract your eyes. Will be getting this again for future journals.” – Verified Amazon Customer 
If you’re wondering, a webnotebook is a notebook with an expandable pocket inside the back cover to securely store things (many of these journals have one). This notebook has thinner pages than some others we’ve reviewed (90 gsm), but its darker bullets really separate it from the pack. “Overall, this is an excellent bullet journaling notebook with high quality paper, and I would recommend it highly. If you’re new to bullet journaling, ~$20 might SEEM like a lot for a notebook when you can get one that looks pretty similar for about 5 bucks at Target – but when you’re going to carry something every day the cheap ones just don’t hold up.” – Verified Amazon Customer 
Another classic journal that’s great for bullet journaling. The Leuchtturm1917 has almost a cult following – and with good reasons. Their journals are high quality, well designed – and contain more pages than many others. Page numbers and a table of contents help you organize. Express yourself with one of their 17 color options. “I am so happy with this Notebook. I started of my bullet journaling with a Moleskine that I found on clearance at Target, which I’m pretty happy with, but I LOVE some of the features of the Leuchtturm Notebook. I would highly recommend this journal to anyone interested in bullet journaling.” – Verified Amazon Customer 
The classic Moleskine notebook – loved by travelers and creatives – is great for bullet journaling. Its dots are a little lighter than some others and can be easily lost. The paper is also a good bit lighter than similar journals, so thicker pens and markers definitely bleed through. “I use this as a bullet journal. It is a great size to put in my purse and take with me where ever I go. I love the dotted grid, it make it so easy to customize my journal exactly for my needs. The pages are thin so although my sharpie pen doesn’t seep through you can see it faintly on the other side.” – Verified Amazon Customer 
3 dotted notebooks with 80 pages each for $9? A great value. No leather cover, but it still lays flat. And maybe best of all, all of the 80gsm pages are perforated. Three great journals for bullet journaling.
This cork hardcovered bullet journal boasts many of the same features as our other journals. One thing that sets the Keegood dot journal is its multi-colored tabs to help keep you organized.
