Features
8.5

Momentum offers a comprehensive set of features that are both useful and easy to use. The focus mode and to-do list are particularly standout features, but some advanced functionalities are locked behind the premium plan.

6.0

The extension makes it easy to save web pages. This worked perfectly in our tests. All texts, including images, were saved correctly in a new page in Notion. However, some users report that various types such as mathematical formulas are not saved or are not saved correctly.

When saving the page, you are asked where it should be saved in Notion. The immediate organization of the saved content with tags, as illustrated in the Chrome store, is not possible via the extension, but only in Notion. This also includes highlighting text passages.

An important component for us is the cross-device access, due to the direct saving in Notion, so you can read clipped pages on any device, online or offline.

Performance
9.0

Momentum runs smoothly without any noticeable lag or performance issues. It integrates well with various browsers and does not slow down your browsing experience.

6.5

Overall, we found the program to be a basic web clipping app that is well suited for saving basic websites.
However, some users report problems saving all content, such as math formulas, in the reviews. Performance can also vary depending on the browser and operating system.

Design
9.0

The design is sleek and user-friendly. The customizable backgrounds in the premium plan and widgets make it visually appealing and easy to navigate.

7.0

The design is clear and concise. However, this is simply because there are hardly any customization options.

Value for Money
8.7

The free version offers basic functions for creating to do lists and occasionally using the focus mode. The premium plan offers considerable added value with additional customizations and integrations.

8.0

Use of the extension is free of charge. However, compared to other providers of Web Clipper for Notion, it does not offer many functions. Whether a free version of Notion is sufficient for saving websites in the long term is another question. In our opinion, however, you get good value for money with the Plus version, which in particular allows you to save unlimited data.

Ease of Use
9.2

Momentum is straightforward to set up and use. The First Start Tour describes the basic functions to everyone in just a few steps so that you can work in a focused manner after just 2 minutes. The minimal learning curve makes it accessible for users of all skill levels.

8.0

The installation worked perfectly. Saving pages is intuitive and further processing in Notion is also easy for Notion users. The fact that you can't set tags directly in the extension is a disadvantage. If you haven't used Notion before, you will need to find your way around the app first, as you will be overwhelmed with many functions, especially at the beginning.

Security & Privacy
8.0

Momentum takes data protection seriously and offers the option of saving data locally. Nevertheless, some data is collected for functional purposes.

8.2

Notion takes standard measures to protect user data. It also complies with the most important data protection regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.
Only the use of cookies and tracking technologies by Notion is somewhat questionable.

Conclusion

Momentum is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to enhance their productivity with a visually appealing and functional new tab page. If you're okay with the basic features and don't mind the occasional upsell for premium features, Momentum can be a valuable addition to your productivity toolkit. With the premium plan, you can unlock even more customization options and integrations that can make your workflow smoother. Overall, Momentum is an excellent addition to any productivity toolkit.

In summary, the Notion Web Clipper is a useful tool for saving and organizing web content directly in your Notion workspace.

However, there are some limitations, such as not being able to mark things up or set tags directly from the extension. This is done afterwards in Notion. There are also occasional problems with saving certain types of content such as mathematical formulas.

Despite these drawbacks, it can be a valuable addition to your productivity toolkit, especially if you're already a Notion user.
