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.

The price-performance ratio is fine for us but could be too high for many basic users if they only use it occasionally. |
