Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 7 of the 52 other read-later and bookmark apps we grade
Toby saves browser tabs and links into collections inside Spaces, one for each project or team, and syncs them across browsers and devices. A Space can be shared with teammates, and saved sessions let you close a window and reopen the tabs later.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Toby, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You set up spaces and collections yourself.
- 1
Best for saving and sharing browser tabs in collections
Toby saves your open tabs into spaces and collections, with sharing, sync across browsers and an extension for one-click saves.
- 2
Paid plans start at $4.50 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $4.50 per member / month, billed yearly.
- 3
There is a free plan
Starter: up to 60 saved tabs, unlimited members and basic tab management features.
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android, with a browser extension too.
- 5
Spaces and collections
Create a Space for each project or team and sort saved tabs into collections inside it, with tags and notes on each saved tab.
- 6
One-click save and sessions
Save all open tabs in one click, store them as a session, and restore them later; organize them when you have time.
- 7
Shared Spaces and links
Invite teammates into a Space so anyone can add and organize links, or turn a collection into a share link.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 7 of 52

The report card
Best for saving and sharing browser tabs in collections
Toby saves your open tabs into spaces and collections, with sharing, sync across browsers and an extension for one-click saves. The free plan stops at 60 saved tabs, and unlimited tabs and advanced search need Productivity at $4.50 a member a month. SSO and priority support are on Team at $8.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Productivity is $4.50 a member a month billed yearly, or $6 monthly, between the middle and dearer quarter for reading apps, and Team is $8. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Starter is free for good with unlimited members, but a workspace stops taking new tabs at 60. Saved tabs stay viewable and exportable. |
| Features | B | Spaces, collections, session saving, sharing, sync, search with duplicate removal and AI organization. The listing names no gap in saving tabs. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. You set up spaces and collections yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, a browser extension, iOS and Android. No desktop app is listed, and there are no integrations on record. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Toby is for
- Fits if you keep a pile of open tabs and want them filed away
- Works for a small team sharing a set of research links
Who it is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 60 saved tabs per workspace fills fast
- Pricey if you need unlimited tabs or advanced search, which are Productivity at $4.50 a member a month
- Not for you if you need SSO or priority support, as those are Team at $8 or Enterprise
- Watch out: Enterprise has no published price
Good to know
Good for
- People who keep dozens of tabs open and want to close them safely
- Teams that share a set of project links
- Students and educators who ask for the vendor's discount
Worth knowing
- The free plan stops you from saving new tabs once a workspace holds 60; saved tabs stay viewable and exportable.
- Unlimited saved tabs, advanced search and AI start on the paid plans.
- SSO and priority support are limited to Team and Enterprise.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Toby you could make: bookmarks, web clipper and templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 32 of the 52 other read-later and bookmark apps grade higher. It costs $54 a year.
What you could make
- Bookmarks, web clipper and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Toby’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
