Save to Notion is a web clipper. Quicktion is built for email.
Save to Notion clips articles and tweets well, and lets you forward emails on its paid plans. When email is the job, Quicktion gives you a Gmail add-on, AI extraction, a free plan that keeps working, and Notion, Google Sheets, Airtable, Linear, Trello, or Google Drive as the destination.
Free plan includes 25 emails/month. No credit card required.
Works with Notion, Google Sheets, Airtable, Linear, Trello, and Google Drive
The short version
If you mostly clip web pages and occasionally an email, keep Save to Notion. If you forward more than a handful of emails a month, want some of them in Sheets, Airtable, Linear, Trello, or Drive, or want AI to fill the properties, Quicktion is the better fit, and the free plan is enough to find out.

Why people switch from Save to Notion
Email is a side feature
The extension exists to clip web pages. Email forwarding is one line on the pricing table, unlocked on Pro and Team. Quicktion only does email, so the parts that matter for it are the whole product: property mapping, attachments, AI extraction, and an activity feed that shows what landed and what failed.
The free plan stops after three emails
Free gets you 3 email or thread saves in total, with no private forwarding address. Quicktion's free plan processes 25 emails every month through your own forwarding address, for as long as you want.
Notion is the only destination
If some of your emails should be rows in Sheets, records in Airtable, Linear issues, Trello cards, or a PDF archive in Drive, you need a second tool. Quicktion covers all six from one account.
No AI extraction
Save to Notion records who sent the email and when. Quicktion Pro reads the body and the attachments and fills typed properties: the invoice amount, the due date, the client name, whatever you describe in the prompt.
You can see what happened to every email
Quicktion's activity feed lists every email that came in, where it went, and why if it didn't. When something breaks you know the same day, and I answer support myself.
When Save to Notion is the better choice
Save to Notion is the better choice if most of what you save isn't email. It clips articles, tweets, YouTube videos, LinkedIn posts, and recipes into Notion, and at $5.99 a month it's cheaper than Quicktion Pro if your email volume is small and Notion is your only destination. The Team plan bundles 10 seats for $17.99, which nothing in Quicktion matches.
When Quicktion is the better choice
Quicktion is the better choice if email is the thing you're saving. You get a free plan that keeps working, a Gmail add-on with a preview before you save, AI that fills your properties from the body and the attachments, and five destinations besides Notion. The activity feed shows every email that came in and what happened to it.
