| Features Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Features' aspect of each extension. | 8.7 Milanote Web Clipper offers a range of features that optimize the storage and organization of web content. Text, images, and links can be inserted directly into Milanote boards.  This is perfect for creative work in particular, as inspiration and resources can be collected quickly and then moved around the board in Milanote. This allows you to present your information visually and clearly.  From our point of view, this is also a disadvantage for a certain target group, as it involves a lot of effort to sort them after you have saved something. A direct link with tags or similar is not possible to find the information quickly. | 9.5 Sider offers a comprehensive range of functions and is designed to provide a solution for every possible use of AI. From AI writing assistance to PDF analysis, for example, it covers all areas for every blogger. Creatives also get their money's worth here, whether creating images from text or editing photos, Sider offers these functions in just one tool and integrates the functions of other providers into your one tool.  The number of integrated AI models, such as GPT-4o, Claude, or Gemini, also stands out. This ensures that users have access to the latest technology.  In summary, Sider offers almost all of the current possibilities of AI in one tool. Winner in this category |
| Performance Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Performance' aspect of each extension. | 9.5 The extension worked perfectly in the test. The reviews also speak for themselves, with no complaints about performance and no significant problems reported by users. It is fast and reliable, making it a reliable tool for everyday use. Winner in this category | 9.2 Sider generally performs well in the test with fast response times and reliable functions. The integration of multiple AI models ensures that users receive accurate and relevant information. However, there can be occasional delays, especially when using advanced features or at peak times. Continuous updates and optimizations could further improve performance. |
| Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 8.5 The design of the Milanote Web Clipper is clear and intuitive. The interface is simple, allowing users to focus on their content instead of navigating through complex menus. The only time Milanote's design can be a little overwhelming, even for new users, is when processing the data. Winner in this category | 8.5 The design of Sider is very user-friendly, and the interface is quite clear, so it's easy to find anything. The sidebar is great because you can access features without leaving the page. However, it might feel cluttered for some people as there are so many options. A sleeker design could improve the user experience. Winner in this category |
| Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 8.5 The web extension is free, but can only be used with a Milanote account. Milanote offers a free version, but this is very limited and will only last a few days with normal use. However, the paid plans are, in our opinion, good value for money, especially for users who want to work creatively and visualize information. Winner in this category | 7.8 While Sider offers a free version with limited requirements, the premium plans can be expensive for casual users. While the feature set justifies the cost for power users, those who only need basic features may find it expensive. The availability of different pricing tiers offers flexibility, but an intermediate solution with a cheaper option could appeal to a wider audience. |
| Ease of Use Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each extension. | 7.2 From our point of view, the tool could be made a little more user-friendly. After installation, it was not entirely clear to us as non-Milanote users where my data was stored and how to access it. Once this initial hurdle had been overcome and access was granted via the website, the other functions are very intuitive to use and were explained. | 9.0 In our tests, Sider was easy to use without having to learn how to use it. The tooltips and instructions help you get started right away. It works well in our tests with popular browsers such as Chrome and Edge, which are quick to install and use. However, if you want to delve into the advanced functions, it can take a while to get to grips with everything. Basic users might be a little overwhelmed here. Winner in this category |
| Security & Privacy Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Security & Privacy' aspect of each extension. | 8.5 Milanote Web Clipper requires users to log in to their Milanote account, ensuring that all saved content is secure and private. Milanote only collects data for consent or legitimate reasons and states this in their privacy policy. Also, the data is encrypted and thanks to GDPR and Australian law, you can also access or delete your data. Overall, it's solid, but they could give more details on how exactly they keep everything secure. Winner in this category | 8.0 Sider stores the data on Amazon's US servers. The data protection guidelines are transparent and users have control over their data. However, usage data is collected for analysis purposes, which not every user will find acceptable. The assurance that data is never passed on and no spam messages are sent is a positive aspect. |
