| Features Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Features' aspect of each extension. | 8.0 OneNote Web Clipper basic functions for saving web content. 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.  | 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. Winner in this category |

All content could be saved and transferred to the OneNote notebooks without any problems.

| Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 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. Winner in this category | 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 |
| Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 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. Winner in this category | 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. |
| Ease of Use Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each extension. | 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. Winner in this category | 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. |
| Security & Privacy Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Security & Privacy' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 OneNote Web Clipper is from Microsoft. The same privacy policies apply when using other products such as Word, Excel, or similar. Winner in this category | 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. |
