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.

highligten in Extension
7.0

SetupVPN offers basic VPN functions with limited free access. With free access, you have the choice of 5 countries to log in to for 30 minutes at a time. When using the premium version, these limitations do not apply, but here too there is a lack of advanced security features like those offered by competitors.

Performance
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.

4.5

SetupVPN offers basic performance for occasional use. The free version has limited server locations, but the premium version offers better speed and reliability.
Our tests included establishing a VPN connection to London and then using online services to try to localize the location. It turned out that in some cases the actual location was still localized and not London. From our point of view, a continuous secure connection is therefore not guaranteed.

Design
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.

7.0

The design of SetupVPN is simple and intuitive. However, the layout in the free version is very dubious and annoying due to the excessive number of advertisements.

Value for Money
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.

6.0

In this category, the extension performs completely differently if you are looking for a free or premium extension.
The costs for the premium version are reasonable compared to the competition. However, it should be noted that many other providers have even more functions that can be used at the same time. Here you only get the VPN service.
With the free version, you have the option of selecting 5 different countries. Due to the presence of a lot of advertising and performance problems with the VPN, there are much better alternatives for free users.

Ease of Use
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.

8.0

Setting up the extension is straightforward. A connection can be established immediately after installation and you can even test whether the connection works. Nobody should have any problems here.

Security & Privacy
9.0

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

5.0

SetupVPN offers only basic privacy protection, with limited security features. However, the many advertisements in the free version raise concerns about data collection. Many who use a VPN want to use it precisely so that their data is not stored. From our point of view, a VPN service with such many advertisements is very dubious.

Conclusion

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.

SetupVPN is a good choice for users who are only rarely looking for a simple, free VPN service. While it offers privacy features, it has strong drawbacks, such as dubious frequent advertising and limited free access. For those who need more robust privacy and security features, the premium version might be worth considering, but there should be better alternatives. Overall, we agree with the current reviews from other users that there are much better alternatives.
