| 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 | 8.7 The tool offers the option of independently tracking your time on different websites. Compared to its competitors, it stands out because it has thought about which functions are important for effective tracking.  This can be seen, for example, in the function that automatically stops tracking if there is no activity on the website within a certain period. This avoids the problem faced by competitors: if several tabs are open, they all continue to be tracked simultaneously.  The reports are also very clearly presented, but there is still some room for improvement in the evaluation, for example by classifying the websites directly into categories such as social media or similar, so that they can be evaluated later. |
| 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 | 9.7 The tool works reliably, there were no crashes or errors during testing. It tracks and reports data efficiently without you noticing any performance issues during use. A few users wrote in reviews that there were inaccuracies in the tracked time, which we could not reproduce in the test. Winner in this category |
| 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 | 9.0 The Design is clear and intuitive. Some design changes such as the dark mode can also be adjusted in the settings. In our opinion, the dashboard is the only area where there is still room for improvement in terms of presenting the evaluations.  |
| 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 | 9.3 As a free tool, it offers good value for money for users looking for basic tracking features at no cost. In comparison with competitors, many functions are already offered, but other competitors still have useful functions, particularly in the evaluation of data, and there is still room for improvement here. |
| 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 | 9.0 Setting up the Web Activity Time Tracker is simple and does not require a great deal of technical skill. The tool is designed to be very user-friendly, including the setup with short instructions. The only thing that is a little confusing is that not all evaluations can be displayed in the dashboard via the icon. Only the evaluation for the current day is displayed here. |
| 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. | 9.7 Web Activity Time Tracker performs almost perfectly here, as it does not collect or transmit any data. This data is only stored on the local computer. The entire code can be read open source on GitHub. Winner in this category |
