ChatGPT Toolbox is now called AI Toolbox. It is the bigger and more complete tool. If you want one extension for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok, and you are happy to pay for it, AI Toolbox is the safer pick. If you only use ChatGPT and Claude, want a little more room on a free plan, and want your folders and tags kept in your own browser, AI Chat Organizer is the free alternative worth a try.
Disclosure first: I built AI Chat Organizer. So every number below, for both tools, comes from a public page, with the date I checked it. Where I could not check a number, I left it out.

Where AI Toolbox is ahead
Size and upkeep. 40,000 users and a Featured badge from Google, and a store update on 5 October 2026. That matters more than any feature list. Every extension that edits the ChatGPT page breaks now and then, and you want one that gets fixed fast.
Reach. It covers four assistants. AI Chat Organizer covers two. If Gemini or Grok is part of your day, that settles it.
Depth. Its store listing names folders, a prompt library, full-text search, bookmarks, bulk delete, one-click export and prompt chaining. Its pricing page, read on 6 October 2026, lists a ChatGPT plan at 9.99 USD a month or 59 USD a year, a one-time 99 USD plan for one assistant, and 199 USD once for all four.
Where AI Chat Organizer is different
It is small, and you should know that. 45 users, 3 ratings, no Featured badge, and the last store update was 20 April 2026. You would be an early user.
It runs on ChatGPT and Claude, and nothing else. One search box covers both, with results grouped by site. Search matches chat titles, tags and the text of chats you have opened since you installed it.
Your folders, tags, pins and search index stay in your own browser. There is no account on the free plan.
The free plan is the part most people ask about. It includes:
- 3 folders
- 5 tags
- 10 searches a day
- Pins and Markdown export
- Search across ChatGPT and Claude
- Auto-organize for 10 chats a month
- 159 prompt templates
Pro purchases are paused while we fix activation. The free version works today, and nothing in that list needs Pro.
What it does not do
AI Chat Organizer does not run on Gemini or Grok. There is no live connection to Notion or Obsidian. It exports the chat you are viewing as a file, one chat at a time. It has no subfolders. If any of those is the reason you are leaving AI Toolbox, this is not your replacement.
Superpower for ChatGPT, the other big one
If you live in ChatGPT and want the largest tool in the category, look at Superpower for ChatGPT too. On 6 October 2026 its Chrome Web Store page showed 100,000 users, 4.5 stars from about 3,700 ratings, a Featured badge and a store update on 5 October 2026. Its listing names folders and subfolders, search, export and prompts. I did not check its prices, so I am not quoting them.
How to choose
Pick by the problem you have, not by the longest feature list.
- You use Gemini or Grok as well as ChatGPT: AI Toolbox.
- You want the biggest, most reviewed ChatGPT tool: Superpower for ChatGPT or AI Toolbox.
- You use ChatGPT and Claude, want a free plan with 3 folders and 10 searches a day, and want your data kept in your browser: AI Chat Organizer.
Run one organizer at a time. Two extensions that both rewrite the ChatGPT sidebar tend to fight over it.
A habit that outlives any extension
Whichever tool you pick, export the chats that hold decisions or code you will need again. Extensions get delisted and sites change, and a Markdown file in your own folder keeps working. Then look at the store page once a quarter. If the last update is months old and the newest reviews say it broke, move on.
FAQ
Is AI Toolbox the same as ChatGPT Toolbox?
Yes. The extension that used to be called ChatGPT Toolbox is listed on the Chrome Web Store as AI Toolbox, and it now covers ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok.
Is AI Toolbox worth paying for?
If you use most of what it does, 9.99 USD a month is a fair price for a tool that is updated every week. If you installed it for one feature and that feature is behind the paywall, try a free plan that covers that one thing first.
What is the best free ChatGPT Toolbox alternative?
For ChatGPT and Claude users who mostly want folders, tags and search on a free plan, AI Chat Organizer gives 3 folders, 5 tags and 10 searches a day. For anything beyond those two assistants, it is not the right tool.
Does AI Chat Organizer work on Gemini?
No. It runs on chatgpt.com, chat.openai.com and claude.ai only.
Are these extensions safe with my chats?
Any extension that organizes chats has to read the chat page. Check that its permissions match what it says it does, and read its privacy policy. AI Chat Organizer keeps your folders, tags and search index in your browser.
