Worth knowing
Save to Notion
- It saves only to Notion, so it is of little use without a Notion workspace.
- The free plan caps forms at 4 and Threads and email saves at 3.
- Uploading article images to Notion, so they survive if the source site goes down, needs Pro or Team.
- The pricing page shows monthly prices by default; the annual option is advertised at 31% off.
Web Highlights
- Cloud sync, the web app and phone sync need Premium or Ultimate; the site says sync needs a paid plan.
- Notion and Capacities exports are one a day each on Free and Premium; PDF and HTML export files need Ultimate or the trial.
- Highlighting images from websites is an Ultimate plan feature.
- Plan prices could not be read because the pricing page loads them with a script, so none are recorded.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
