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.

9.5

Notix offers a variety of features that make web clipping to Notion easier and more efficient. The ability to edit content directly in the browser before saving it stands out from competitors. You can add highlighted text directly and screenshots, videos, and other information afterward.

sidebar

Another interesting feature is the AI-supported summaries and creation of headings with user-defined templates. You can see that the developer is working hard on updates here to stand out from other web clippers with useful features.

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

Performance is currently still very variable. The interface between the extension and Notion is fast, but for many users, several performance problems when clipping new information could be a deterrent. In our tests, it happened several times that the information already changed and recorded in the sidebar could not be saved and an error message appeared. This is very annoying if you have already put a lot of effort into making changes.

error

The AI function also rarely worked in our test and when it did it was very slow. Occasionally, a loading bar appeared that never disappeared. Overall, we see the greatest potential for the extension to improve here.

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.

9.0

The design is functional, but could be a little more intuitive to improve usability. The layout is clear so that the various functions can always be found immediately.

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.

8.5

In our opinion, the extension offers a good price-performance ratio for both the normal user, who already receives the basic functions with the free version and the paid version with the full range of functions. The only thing that could put off paying users in particular are the performance problems that still exist in some cases.

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.

6.5

Although Notix is easy to install initially, it is not completely intuitive to use afterward. In particular, users not yet fully familiar with Notion may have problems. The initial setup with the creation of templates based on databases is not always clear. The professional 11-minute tutorial that is displayed after installation is useful here, but may deter new users who do not want to take on this effort. An additional effort that not everyone will take on is the registration required to make the API available at OpenAI. To summarize, the setup is somewhat complicated and more complex compared to other competitors, but the use of the features afterward should be intuitive for everyone.

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.

8.9

Notix ensures and describes general data security in its privacy policy. The extension does not store excessive data, and user information is mainly kept within the Notion ecosystem. Within the extension, access can only be granted to selected individual pages, so that sensitive information on other Notion pages is protected. Only the dependency on an account with an AI service to use all the features may raise concerns for some users.

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, Notix is a powerful tool for Notion users who want to clip text, images, and more with useful features. Innovative features, such as AI-powered summaries and custom templates, set it apart from other tools. However, this is also where the biggest potential for improvement lies, as the initial setup is not always intuitive and performance issues could put users off. Overall, Notix offers great value for those looking for an alternative to the popular Notion web clippers.
