Features Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Features' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 Paraphrasing Tool: Grammar Checker: Summarizer: Winner in this category | 7.5 The core function that One Sec uses to make users more productive is a pause before opening the website. When I open websites I have defined, such as Twitter, a gray page with a countdown appears. During this period, I was reminded that I didn't want to spend so much time on Twitter and asked myself whether this was intentional or just a reflex out of boredom.

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. | 9.5 In our test, we did not notice any delays or slowdowns due to the extension. Winner in this category |
Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 User Interface: Customization: Winner in this category | 8.0 The user interface is clean and minimalist, and this also applies to the setup and settings. The extension offers an effective use of visual elements for taking a break by displaying a preset screen with a countdown. There would be potential for improvement here if the screen could be customized. |
Value for Money Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 Free vs. Paid: Cost-Effectiveness: | 9.2 The browser extension is completely free of charge. However, you only get a small number of functions. For anyone who only needs the basic function, this is unbeatable value for money. OneSec also offers an app with additional functions. At $4.99/month or $49.99/year, it also has a good price-performance ratio. Winner in this category |
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. | 9.5 The installation process was quick and straightforward. This also includes the setup, which is very intuitive with clear step-by-step instructions. Everything is also well explained in the settings menu afterward, so everyone should be able to find their way around. ![]() 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 Data usage is described transparently in the privacy policy, which places great value on user privacy. 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. | One Sec is a tool that encourages mindful browsing by introducing a pause every time you want to access a distracting website. |
