Pick Pagewing if
If you want your tabs saved and brought back the way they were, Pagewing keeps pinned tabs, tab groups and window names, restores big sessions unloaded so Chrome doesn't stall, saves snapshots of your open windows so a crash doesn't lose them, and lets you close duplicates and search every saved tab for free. The free plan holds 25 sessions with no cap on tabs, where Toby's Starter plan stops at 60 saved tabs, and the subscription that removes the limit covers the rest of your browser tools, not a tab manager on its own.
Checked against Toby's own pages in October 2026. Plans and features change: check there before you decide. Weighing more than these two? See the best tab manager extensions for chrome.
Switching from Toby?
Bring what you have
Each Toby collection as a saved session, with every tab's address and title.
- In Toby, export your collections as a JSON file.
- In Pagewing, open Sessions on the web, press Import and drop the file.
- Check how many sessions and tabs it found, then import. The free plan keeps 25 sessions, and the importer fills those first and says how many didn't fit.

Questions
Something else? Write to us from the Support link below.
Is Pagewing cheaper than Toby?
Not on its own. Toby Productivity costs $6 a month billed monthly, or $4.50 a month billed yearly, and its free Starter plan holds up to 60 saved tabs. Pagewing's free plan holds 25 sessions with no cap on how many tabs are in them, and Premium, which removes the limit, costs more than Toby but also covers the screen recorder, PDF editor, screenshots, short links and the other tools. Use the calculator above with what you actually pay.
Can I import my Toby collections?
Yes. Export your collections from Toby as a JSON file and drop it into Sessions on the web. Each collection becomes a saved session with its tabs, and you see how many it found before anything is saved. OneTab and Session Buddy exports import the same way.
Does Pagewing replace my new tab page like Toby does?
No. Pagewing lives in Chrome's side panel and on its website, and leaves your new tab page alone. Open the panel to save or restore a session, or the Sessions page to manage them all.
Where are my sessions kept?
Sessions you save are kept in your account, so every browser you sign in to has them, and signing out, updating or reinstalling Pagewing doesn't delete them. The panel shows when they were last backed up. Automatic snapshots of your open windows stay on your computer.
What happens if Chrome crashes?
Pagewing saves your open windows automatically, so you can bring back whatever was open when Chrome closed, even if you never saved a session. Toby saves what you put in a collection.
Can I share a session with someone?
Yes, with Premium: a session becomes a link that lists its tabs, which anyone can open. On any plan you can export a session as OneTab text, Markdown, a bookmarks file or CSV and send that instead. Toby shares collections on its free plan.
Does restoring 80 tabs freeze Chrome?
No. Big restores open their tabs unloaded, so they load when you click them, and you can restore into a new window or the current one. Pinned tabs come back pinned and, if you allow it, tab groups come back as groups.
Is Pagewing free?
Yes. Every tool works on the free plan, with a few limits. Premium removes the limits and adds features like share links, PDF signatures and cloud storage, for every tool at once. Pro adds Office conversions, bookmark cleanups and AI summaries and branding for recordings on top. You only add a card if you decide to upgrade.
Try it before you cancel anything.
Every tool works on the free plan, so run it next to what you have now, then keep the subscriptions you still need.
