| Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 7.0 The design is functional, but not particularly intuitive.

| Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 7.5 The extension itself is free, but it is only really useful when the paid version of Evernote is activated.
