Features Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Features' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 Paraphrasing Tool: Grammar Checker: Summarizer: Winner in this category | 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 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 | 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. |
Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 User Interface: Customization: Winner in this category | 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 Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Value for Money' aspect of each extension. | 9.0 Free vs. Paid: Cost-Effectiveness: Winner in this category | 6.0 In this category, the extension performs completely differently if you are looking for a free or premium extension. |
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. | 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. 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: Winner in this category | 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 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. | 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. |
