Performance Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Performance' aspect of each extension. | 8.8 Quillbot performs well with small to medium-sized texts, but it can slow down when processing larger documents. Winner in this category | 8.5 The extension is fast and efficient, with minimal lag or performance issues. |
Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 User Interface: Customization: Winner in this category | 7.5 The design is simple and clean, with options for customization. However, it's not particularly aesthetic or modern. |
Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 Free vs. Paid: Cost-Effectiveness: Winner in this category | 8.5 As a completely free tool, it offers good value for those who need basic note-taking features. However, even though it's free, we don't see too much value in this tool. As there are similar free New Tab extensions out there, we can not give the highest rating. |
Ease of Use Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Ease of Use' aspect of each extension. | 7.8 Quillbot's onboarding process is impressive, and the tool is easy to use right from the start. We quickly grasped most of its features. However, when compared to top competitors like Grammarly, it doesn't feel quite as natural or seamless to use. | 9.0 The tool is very straightforward with a minimal learning curve. Its simplicity is both a strength and a limitation. Winner in this category |
Security & Privacy Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Security & Privacy' aspect of each extension. | 8.8 Data Handling: Third-Party Services: | 9.5 All notes are stored locally, ensuring high privacy. There are no concerns about data being uploaded to the cloud. Winner in this category |
Conclusion A summary of our findings and final thoughts for each extension. | Quillbot is a flexible AI writing tool that does a great job with paraphrasing and grammar checking. While it has a few minor downsides, like occasional mistakes and some privacy concerns, its overall performance and affordability make it a solid choice. In the end, choosing the best writing tool is also a matter of personal opinion. If you want to improve your writing and boost productivity, Quillbot is definitely worth a look. However, it still cannot compete with Grammarly as the best writing tool in this category. In our eyes, Grammarly is worth the more expensive price. | New Tab Draft is great for those who prefer a simple, no-frills note-taking tool. While it may not offer much beyond basic note-taking, its privacy features and ease of use make it a solid choice, especially since it's free. User reviews are very good with an average of 4.8 stars in the Chrome Web Store. Many users love its simplicity and effectiveness. However, it might not provide enough value for those looking for more advanced features. In our tests, we weren't fully convinced and found ourselves leaning toward more aesthetically pleasing New Tab Extensions that offer a few basic features. |
