What apps do you use alongside Notion that aren't worth paying for?

Building out my Notion workflow and noticing how many "companion" apps have shifted to subscriptions. Things like screenshot tools, image editors, simple utilities, all of them suddenly want $5-10/month.

Some of these tools are great, but I'm not convinced they're worth recurring fees just to use alongside Notion.

What free or one-time-payment tools have you found that work well in a Notion workflow? And what apps did you bail on because their pricing got out of hand?

What tools do you use for screenshots in your blog posts? And which ones are worth paying for?

Been writing more tutorial-style content lately and find myself taking dozens of screenshots per post. The native OS tools work but the output looks rough, gradients, frames, annotations all need extra work.

Looked at some screenshot beautifier tools but the pricing varies wildly. Some are free, some want $10/month, some are $30 one-time.

What do bloggers and writers actually use? And do you think paying for screenshot tools is worth it, or is the free stuff good enough now?

Does anyone else think screenshot tools are unnecessarily complicated?

I was spending 20-30 minutes in Photoshop just trying to make

screenshots look decent for my projects. Seems like overkill.

So I built something super simple called Screenshot Framer - just

right-click, capture area, get a framed screenshot. No bloat, works

on any site.

Curious how other people handle this. What tools do you use?

If anyone wants to check mine out and give feedback, I'm here for it!
