Data ownership

Toby stores your tab collections on their servers. Your data lives in their cloud, and if the service shuts down or changes pricing, your data goes with it.

TabVault Pro takes a different approach. All your data stays local on your device first, and cloud sync goes through your own Google Drive. You own every file. You can open it, move it, or back it up however you want. No vendor lock-in.

Mobile access

Toby offers an iOS app, but it is view-only. You can browse your collections on your phone, but you cannot save or organize tabs from mobile.

TabVault Pro has a full mobile app for both Android and iOS with two-way sync. Save tabs from your phone and find them on your laptop, or save on your laptop and open them on your phone. It works both directions, automatically.

Pricing model

Toby offers a free tier limited to 60 tabs. After that, you need a subscription that ranges from $4.50 to $10 per month. That adds up over time.

TabVault Pro has a generous free tier with 3 workspaces, 5 collections, and 50 tabs. If you need more, the Pro upgrade is a one-time payment of €29.99. No recurring charges, no subscription fatigue. Pay once, use it forever.

€29.99 once vs $54–$120/year (Toby subscription). TabVault Pro pays for itself in under 4 months.

Organization

Both Toby and TabVault Pro offer workspaces and collections, so you can group tabs the way that makes sense for your workflow.

Where TabVault Pro goes further is auto-categorization. It automatically sorts your saved tabs into categories like Work, Shopping, Research, and more. Less manual sorting, more getting things done.
