Video Highlight vs Snipo
The question is where your notes should live. Snipo puts the notes and screenshots you take into Notion. Video Highlight keeps each video with its transcript, Summary and notes in a library you can search by what was said.
Snipo is a browser extension for taking timestamped notes and screenshots on YouTube and course sites, and sending them straight into Notion. It can sync a YouTube playlist or a Udemy course into Notion, and it makes flashcards you can send to Anki. If Notion is the home of your notes, Snipo is the better fit. If you want the videos themselves in one place, with the notes made for you, Video Highlight does that job.

Video Highlight vs Snipo: FAQs
I keep my notes in Notion. Should I switch from Snipo?
Probably not, if Notion is where you want to work. Snipo sends your notes, screenshots and transcript into Notion, and can sync a playlist or a course there. Video Highlight can send a video's Summary to Notion on paid plans, but your library stays in Video Highlight. Choose Video Highlight if you would rather keep the videos and their notes together.
Why keep videos in a library instead of in Notion?
Because the video, its transcript and its notes stay together. Each time in the notes opens the video at that second. You can search your whole library by title or by what was said, and see the line that matched. Ask answers carry times that move the player.
Does Video Highlight keep timestamps like Snipo?
Yes, but you do not have to make them. Every point in a Summary has its time, and so does every point in notes with pictures. Every highlight you save keeps its time too. On screen, each time opens the video there.
Do I have to take the screenshots myself?
No. Deep Watch watches the whole video for you. It looks at what is on screen and reads what is said, and keeps the key points with pictures of the screen. If you want a picture of a part you chose, press H to save a highlight: it keeps a picture when you use the Chrome extension on YouTube, or watch one of your own files.
Can I bring in a whole course or playlist?
You can import the latest 25 videos of a playlist or channel in one step, into your library. Snipo works the other way round: it syncs a playlist or a Udemy course into Notion as pages.
Does Video Highlight make flashcards?
No. If you study with flashcards and use Anki, Snipo makes them and sends them there. Video Highlight gives you notes with times, a transcript and a Summary you can export as Markdown, PDF or Word.
What does each one cost?
Snipo is free to install, and its site showed no plan prices on November 12, 2026. Video Highlight has a free plan with Summary, Transcript, Highlights and Ask on YouTube, Vimeo and Dailymotion links. Notes with pictures (Deep Watch) are on Plus, Pro and Business.
