Features
5.5

Tracking Time offers numerous functions aimed at both individual users and teams. Projects can be created for which time tracking can then be started. Detailed reports can then be output. In our tests, all these functions also worked in the Tracking Time tool.

Tracking Time


However, the web extension considered here was disappointing. This only has the function of starting and stopping time recording. Even when beginning time tracking, the extension requires that the corresponding project has been created. It is impossible to spontaneously start time tracking for a new project; the new project must first be made on the external Tracking Time website, where the reports can also be found.

The Tracking Time extension therefore has great potential to integrate many useful Tracking Time functions. However, the functions are currently very limited in comparison to competitors.

9.0

Save to Notion offers a comprehensive set of features that make it easy to save and organize web content.
The one-click save feature is particularly useful for quickly capturing information without interrupting your workflow.

The ability to highlight, tag, and organize content directly ensures that you can easily find the content you need later.

Another very useful feature is the screenshot function. Either the entire page or just a desired part is screenshotted and then a description is immediately added, which is saved directly in the desired page on Notion.

The support for templates and batch saving may not be intuitive to set up at first, but it saves the user a lot of time when saving similar information.

Performance
8.0

In general, Tracking Time works reliably, but in reviews some users have reported occasional slowdowns, especially when processing large data sets. Regular updates and optimizations could help improve performance consistency.

8.5

The extension works perfectly. In our tests, the information is saved quickly and synchronized across devices. However, some users write in their reviews about occasional performance problems, especially when logging in and synchronizing.

Design
8.0

The design of Tracking Time is clean and modern and makes it easy to navigate. The dashboard on the website is well organized and you get an instant overview of your times. There are still improvements to be made in terms of customization options such as layouts.

8.0

The Save to Notion design is clearly laid out. In our opinion, it could only be a little more intuitive when setting up templates for the first time.

Value for Money
8.0

The web extension is free of charge. However, it should be noted that it offers only a few functions. Other competitors offer considerably more functions for their free extensions. If you only use the extension in addition to Tracking Time and consider all functions in the price-performance ratio, it is competitive. In particular, the free plan already offers sufficient features for most people.
The paid plans offer advanced features and integrations with excellent value for money, making it a particularly worthwhile investment for teams looking to increase their productivity.

9.5

The free version of Save to Notion offers excellent value for money, and the premium plan, at $36 a year, offers additional features at a reasonable price for those needing advanced functionality. Especially compared to Notion's official extension “Notion Web Clipper” we tested, you get a lot of features here.
However, it must be borne in mind that you will quickly reach the limits of the free Notion version by saving website content and will need a paid plan.

Ease of Use
7.0

Although the tool is generally easy to use on the website, there are problems with the basic functions of the extension. In the test, we started a time recording on the website and stopped it later via the extension. When we wanted to start a new task, it took us a while to understand the principle that only tasks that had already been created could be restarted. This is not an intuitive function, which is why users might be annoyed right from the start.
One positive point, however, is the tutorials and support documentation, which can help new users.

7.8

The extension is easy to set up and use. Only the creation of templates can be a little confusing for some users at first. If you are already a Notion user, this should not be a problem. Some users also report login problems, but this was not the case in our test.

Security & Privacy
9.0

Tracking Time uses basic security measures to protect user data. Encryption and regular updates ensure the integrity of the data. In our research, most of this could be read in the privacy policies, but a little more transparency in the handling of user data would still be an advantage, as this is stored online.

8.5

Save to Notion uses industry standard security measures to protect user data. As with any online service, you should be aware that all saved data is stored with another third-party provider in addition to Notion via the extension.

Conclusion

Tracking Time is a tool for anyone who wants to improve their time management. The design is very intuitive, but unfortunately, the extension has hardly any functions. The extension is useful for anyone who uses Tracking Time, but anyone looking for a good extension for time tracking will not find it here.
However, the price-performance ratio of the functions of the entire tool is good.

Save to Notion is a great tool for anyone wanting to save and organize information and increase productivity. For anyone who works with Notion, we think it's a must-have. This is simply due to the ease of saving highlights and screenshots in one click. Although users report occasional problems with logging in, these did not occur during our tests. In our opinion, the overall performance with the price-performance ratio is currently the best for Notion users.


Anyone not currently using Notion should first test Notion and check whether it is right for them, or check the paid packages, as the free limits are quickly reached here.
