Features	9.2 Recall's range of functions is impressive for a relatively new tool. The AI summary works on a wide range of content, from articles to YouTube videos with a running time of several hours. We particularly liked the personal knowledge base and the way Recall automatically links related content. Spaced Repetition and Active Recall are outstanding features for students. However, some features are still in beta or will be available soon. The functions in the free version are severely limited in the number of users per day, and there is an upper limit for free use.	8.5 Evernote Web Clipper offers a large number of functions that make it easier to save and organize web content. These include simple bookmarking, but also other functions such as the ability to add highlights and comments to screenshots, which we find particularly useful. A very important main function for us is also to set tags and easily find saved data, photos, or similar using tags. Titles can also be added here to display them clearly in your notebook.
Performance	9.0 Retrieval is fast and reliable in most cases. The summary is fast, even with very extreme examples such as a 9-hour news show that we had summarized in our test. Occasionally, we encountered errors or slowdowns, especially when asking further questions about the summarized content via the wizard. The team is actively working on performance improvements and there are regular updates. Overall, the tool feels stable and is suitable for everyday use.	7.0 Performance is a major drawback of Evernote Web Clipper. Many users report issues in reviews about the tool not loading or not working properly. Although it offers many features, these performance issues can be annoying and limit overall effectiveness. In our tests, only a few minor performance issues were detected.
Design	9.0 The user interface has a clear and modern design. The focus is on user-friendliness. We found the browser extension intuitive and easy to navigate. The tagging and organization system can be used flexibly, and some users mentioned minor bugs in the user interface, but these were only minimally noticeable in the test.	7.0 The design is functional, but not particularly intuitive. Although the interface is clear, navigating the settings and functions is somewhat confusing. Improvements in the design of the user interface could improve the accessibility of the tool for a larger target group.
Value for Money	8.1 The free tariff is suitable for infrequent users who do not need all the functions, as you will quickly reach the map limit. However, if you want to use the extension on a day-to-day basis, you cannot avoid the extension. The paid plan is competitively priced, especially with the student discount. We appreciate that some features will remain free forever, and the team is open to feedback on pricing. Compared to alternatives, Recall offers good value for money for those who need advanced knowledge management features, but casual users may find the limitations too restrictive and stop using the extension.	7.5 The extension itself is free, but it is only really useful when the paid version of Evernote is activated. Considering that you have to think your way in to set everything up and use it, the price-performance ratio might be a bit expensive for basic users.
Ease of Use	8.0 An account is required to use Recall. However, due to the integration with a Google and Apple login, this should be easy for everyone. Saving and summarizing content is a one-click process that is well explained at the beginning. However, mastering all functions (e.g., nested tags, links, and spatial repetitions) requires some time and some searching, which can lead to many users not being able to exploit the full potential.	6.5 The tool has a slightly larger learning curve, especially for new users. Numerous shortcuts can be defined for easy clipping, but it can take a long time from initial setup to full use. In addition, many users have reported problems with logging in and loading the tool.
Security & Privacy	9.9 Recall is characterized by its privacy-friendly approach. User data is not used by the extension for advertising, profiling, or AI training. All content is stored securely, and users retain full control over their data. Data can be exported for inspection or deleted at any time. The data protection guidelines are transparent, and support is always available to answer questions about data protection. We were unable to identify any uncertainties during our review.	8.0 Evernote Web Clipper handles user data responsibly and has clear data protection guidelines. However, the tool does not respond to “Do Not Track” signals, which could be problematic for some users who value this. The data is stored on US servers, meaning data protection law applies there.
Conclusion	Recall impressed us with its useful intelligent use of AI and its focus on helping users in their everyday lives, especially when learning. The browser extension makes it easy to capture content, and the revision features with auto-generated questions are a real bonus for learners. For occasional users, the free version may be enough, but if you want to use the extension, you can't avoid the paid version. The extension is not yet perfect and has small bugs, but the team reacts quickly to these and feedback, and many new functions are currently being introduced. Overall, Recall is a good choice for anyone looking to do more than just bookmark cards and build a personal knowledge base. If you're tired of forgetting what you've read online and want to save time, it's a must!	Evernote Web Clipper is a good tool for anyone who needs to save and organize web content. Its integration with Evernote makes it a powerful extension for productivity enthusiasts, especially if Evernote is already in use. Drawbacks include ease of use and performance issues reported by users. Overall, it is a strong tool but may require some patience and troubleshooting.
