| Features Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Features' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 The extension offers good features for exporting ChatGPT information, which should be sufficient for most user requirements. The ability to export to multiple formats is particularly valuable. The test showed that the formatting and layout work well and are better than the possible outputs from ChatGPTs themselves. It also helps that you can select many settings for the PDF layout beforehand.  Another useful feature is selecting whether only questions, answers, or both are output.  Winner in this category | 5.5 Tracking Time offers numerous functions aimed at both individual users and teams. Projects can be created for which time tracking can then be started. Detailed reports can then be output. In our tests, all these functions also worked in the Tracking Time tool. 
The Tracking Time extension therefore has great potential to integrate many useful Tracking Time functions. However, the functions are currently very limited in comparison to competitors. |
| Performance Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Performance' aspect of each extension. | 9.7 The extension worked reliably and without any problems during the test. The export processes are fast and efficient, and we didn't have to wait long for the export, even during longer conversations. We did not notice any crashes or significant bugs during the test. Winner in this category | 8.0 In general, Tracking Time works reliably, but in reviews some users have reported occasional slowdowns, especially when processing large data sets. Regular updates and optimizations could help improve performance consistency. |
| Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 9.5 The user interface is clear and intuitive. The export button is perfectly integrated into the ChatGPT environment, so it seems like it belongs there. However, the general design could be freshened up a bit. Winner in this category | 8.0 The design of Tracking Time is clean and modern and makes it easy to navigate. The dashboard on the website is well organized and you get an instant overview of your times. There are still improvements to be made in terms of customization options such as layouts. |
| Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 9.5 The free version includes all functions; only a premium banner, which appears on PDFs in the footer, must be accepted.  As this is relatively unobtrusive, it should not be a problem for regular private users. For private users who only want to output PDFs occasionally (up to 3 times a day), the free version offers excellent value for money. If you want to continue using the files for business purposes, for example, and want to make the banner disappear, or simply want to export a higher number of PDFs per day, the prices of $1.99 for 30 PDFs per day or $2.99 for 100 PDFs per day are perfectly fine. Winner in this category | 8.0 The web extension is free of charge. However, it should be noted that it offers only a few functions. Other competitors offer considerably more functions for their free extensions. If you only use the extension in addition to Tracking Time and consider all functions in the price-performance ratio, it is competitive. In particular, the free plan already offers sufficient features for most people. |
| Ease of Use Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each extension. | 9.5 Installation is straightforward, and the tool requires minimal setup. Once installed, an export button appears, which is fairly self-explanatory. The export process is as simple as clicking a button, and the various format options are displayed. The tutorial at the beginning also helps new users to understand all the functions in just a few seconds. Winner in this category | 7.0 Although the tool is generally easy to use on the website, there are problems with the basic functions of the extension. In the test, we started a time recording on the website and stopped it later via the extension. When we wanted to start a new task, it took us a while to understand the principle that only tasks that had already been created could be restarted. This is not an intuitive function, which is why users might be annoyed right from the start. |
| Security & Privacy Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Security & Privacy' aspect of each extension. | 9.3 The extension only accesses ChatGPT conversations and does not collect unnecessary data outside. Export files are then processed locally, ensuring data privacy. The tool has a clear privacy policy and does not require excessive permissions to be agreed to. Winner in this category | 9.0 Tracking Time uses basic security measures to protect user data. Encryption and regular updates ensure the integrity of the data. In our research, most of this could be read in the privacy policies, but a little more transparency in the handling of user data would still be an advantage, as this is stored online. |
| Conclusion A summary of our findings and final thoughts for each extension. | After extensive testing, we can recommend ChatGPT Exporter to anyone who uses ChatGPT regularly. The tool fills a crucial gap that was often laboriously filled by copying and pasting and makes it easy to preserve and share your conversations. | Tracking Time is a tool for anyone who wants to improve their time management. The design is very intuitive, but unfortunately, the extension has hardly any functions. The extension is useful for anyone who uses Tracking Time, but anyone looking for a good extension for time tracking will not find it here. |
