SpeedGrid vs Toby

Decide whether you are organizing places or open tabs.

I’m Joey, the designer and photographer who makes SpeedGrid. Toby is not affiliated with SpeedGrid. The products overlap on the new tab, but they solve two meaningfully different kinds of browser clutter.

The short version

Toby manages tab sessions. SpeedGrid designs a home for destinations.

Toby is stronger when...

Your real problem is a browser full of tabs.

  • Save and restore sessions, then organize tabs into collections and spaces
  • Collaborate with members and access collections across browsers and devices
  • Use paid AI grouping, advanced search, duplicate removal, or team controls

SpeedGrid is worth trying when...

You want a visually precise map of the places you return to.

  • Build focused grids, place grids inside folders, and give one card two destinations
  • Control typography, spacing, colors, logos, backgrounds, and card treatment
  • Use responsive web access, backups, restore points, and a narrowly permissioned extension

What feels different

SpeedGrid is deliberately closer to a designed desktop.

Stable destinations, not session capture

SpeedGrid is for the sites, dashboards, searches, and folders that shape your day. Toby is built to collect open tabs and reopen working sessions. If closing forty tabs makes you nervous, Toby addresses that job more directly.

More visual authorship

SpeedGrid rewards people who notice alignment, type, spacing, color, imagery, and card density. Save combinations as profiles, use color gradients or original photography, and give each workspace its own visual identity.

A narrower permission story

Toby’s current Web Store disclosure includes web history, website content, user activity, location, and personally identifiable information. SpeedGrid does not request browsing-history access or inspect every page you visit. See the plain-language breakdown.

Three questions

Which kind of order would remove more friction?

Neither product needs to win every feature. Choose the one aimed at the clutter you actually feel.

  1. 1

    Do you need to save what is open right now?

    Choose Toby for one-click session capture, restore, AI-assisted grouping, and turning open tabs into collections. SpeedGrid can save the current page deliberately, but it is not a bulk session manager.

  2. 2

    Is appearance part of how you stay organized?

    Choose SpeedGrid when visual hierarchy is functional—not decorative. Its cards, grids, folders, profiles, backgrounds, and typography are designed to make a large set of destinations feel calm and unmistakably yours.

  3. 3

    How many saved tabs do you expect?

    Toby’s current Starter plan is free for up to 60 saved tabs. Its official Help Center lists Productivity at $6 per member monthly or $4.50 billed yearly, with unlimited tabs, advanced search, and duplicate removal.

Stay with Toby if...

Closing tabs is the problem you need solved.

Toby is the more complete choice for saving sessions, reopening tab collections, collaborating with a team, AI-assisted tab organization, advanced search, and duplicate removal. Try SpeedGrid when the new tab’s primary job is to keep a stable set of destinations beautifully organized and instantly recognizable.
