OneTab vs Toby vs Workona vs Amazing Tabs: An Honest Comparison (2026)

Four tools keep coming up whenever "too many open tabs" turns into an actual search. They solve different problems, so "which is best" is the wrong question — here's who each one is really for, honestly, including where the others beat us.

The 30-second version

	Free tier	Paid	Best for	The catch
OneTab	Unlimited	—	One-click "collapse everything to a list"	No search, no real organization
Toby	3 collections	$5/mo ($60/yr) Pro	Visual boards of saved tabs	Free tier is tight; it's a dashboard, not a search tool
Workona	Limited workspaces	$7/mo ($84/yr) Pro	Heavy multi-project workspace switching	Powerful but heavy; overkill if you just want your tabs back
Amazing Tabs	100 saved links	from $2.90/mo, or $99 lifetime	Fast save + Spotlight-style search, local-first	Newer; smaller install base than OneTab

OneTab — the minimalist's panic button

OneTab does one thing: click it and every open tab collapses into a single list, freeing memory. It's free, unlimited, and beloved for a reason.

Where it stops: there's no fast search across what you saved, and the "list of lists" gets unwieldy fast. If your problem is "Chrome is eating my RAM right now," OneTab is perfect. If your problem is "I can never find the tab I saved last Tuesday," it isn't built for that.

Toby — the visual board

Toby gives you a pretty grid of saved tabs grouped into collections, with a new-tab dashboard. It's nice to look at and good for curated sets of links you return to.

Where it stops: the free tier caps you at 3 collections, and Pro runs about $5/mo (~$60/yr). It's a dashboard-first tool — great if you like organizing visually, less great if you want to save fast and search faster.

Workona — the power user's workspace OS

Workona is the heavyweight: full project workspaces, tab suspending, deep session management. If you run many parallel projects and live in your browser all day, it's genuinely powerful.

Where it stops: the free tier is limited to a handful of workspaces, Pro is about $7/mo (~$84/yr), and there's a real learning curve. For a lot of people it's more machine than the job needs.

Amazing Tabs — fast save, instant search, local-first

Full disclosure: this is our blog, so weigh accordingly — but here's the honest pitch. Amazing Tabs is built around two moments: saving a tab in one click, and finding it in one second with a search that feels like Spotlight. Drop a tab into a Chrome tab group and it auto-files to the matching collection. Your saved tabs stay on your device by default — we don't read your history or the URLs you save.

Where it stops: we're newer, so our install base is smaller than OneTab's, and cloud sync is a Premium feature. The free tier is 100 saved links — enough to genuinely live in before you ever see a paywall.

Pricing: free up to 100 links; Premium from $2.90/mo billed annually ($34.80/yr) or $4.90/mo month-to-month; or a one-time $99 lifetime deal, capped at 200 founder spots.
