tabExtend vs Workona

tabExtend is a visual tab manager that adds notes, images, and reminders inside the browser. Users can save, close, and reopen groups of tabs with drag-and-drop or right-click actions. It also supports to-dos, colored notes, and reminders for sites and items. Workspaces and categories can be shared privately or publicly, with colleagues invited to collaborate in real time. Workspaces sync to the cloud for use across devices; tabExtend says its stored data is end-to-end encrypted and backed up twice a day. Search helps locate saved items, and groups can be generated from bookmarks and most-visited sites. The extension is available for Chrome, Brave, and Edge, with native apps for Android and iPhone/iPad. The free plan includes basic features and up to 30 saves, with unlimited time and no account required. Pro is $8 a month; Team is $21 a month for three seats, with additional seats at $7 each. The extension can replace the new-tab page and read browsing history; downloads, most-visited URLs, and bookmarks are optional permissions.

Workona is a collaborative web app for organizing browser work and gathering project resources from other apps into shared spaces. A space can bring together Google Drive folders, Slack channels, task lists, browser tabs and web links. Its optional tab manager organizes tabs into spaces, autosaves them and can restore past sessions for up to 90 days. Space templates can set up project resources, and Workona says Zapier can create content from 6,000+ apps. The integrations page lists Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Asana, ClickUp, Monday, Trello and Slack; its help page says spaces currently connect to Asana and Trello among those task apps. Tabs in shared spaces stay private to each user. Workona works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari across macOS, Windows and Linux, with extensions for Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Individuals can use a free plan with limited spaces and sections. Team costs $12 a month, billed at $12 per user monthly, or $108 per user per year with annual billing.
