Features
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.

8.0

OneNote Web Clipper basic functions for saving web content.
In addition to saving an entire page, you can also save individual markers.

In addition, screenshots of the entire page or only parts of a page can be created.

An important function of the Web Clipper is that a preview is created directly when clipping and can be edited directly, for example by rewriting or highlighting text before it is synchronized with OneNote.

Performance
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.

perfomance bug
9.0

The Performance was good in our tests and there were no problems. All content could be saved and transferred to the OneNote notebooks without any problems. The only performance problems mentioned by some users in the reviews are that there are sometimes synchronization problems. We were unable to reproduce this.

Design
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.

8.5

The design is clear and simple, so even basic users can get started immediately without any problems. However, it could offer a few more customization options to suit individual preferences.

Value for Money
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.

9.2

As the tool is free, it offers excellent value for money. You get basic functions for saving web content. The required OneNote can also be used with certain restrictions; a paid version of Office for $69.99 per year is also not overpriced.

Ease of Use
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.

9.3

The tool is very user-friendly and has a low and fast learning curve. Most users should find it easy to start cutting and organizing content straight away. There are only a few functions that are not self-explanatory.

Security & Privacy
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.

9.0

OneNote Web Clipper is from Microsoft. The same privacy policies apply when using other products such as Word, Excel, or similar.

Conclusion

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.

Overall, OneNote Web Clipper is a useful tool for anyone who simply needs to collect, store, and organize web content. It offers a number of features that make it easy to clip, annotate, and organize information. If additional features are needed on top of these basic features, other competitors should be looked at.
