Sessionat vs Workona

Workona is the enterprise-grade workspace tool — SOC 2 Type II, SSO, SCIM, and 50+ integrations. It is genuinely the right answer for teams that need those things. But as of April 2026, its last Chrome Web Store update is from January 2025 — fifteen months stale in a category where Chrome pushes breaking API changes every quarter.

The trade-off

The honest trade-off

Workona's pricing scales fast: $7/mo individual, $10/user/mo team (min 3 seats = $30/mo floor), $20/user/mo enterprise. If you are an individual who just wants auto-save + search, you're paying workspace-tool pricing for a session-manager use case. Workona's value is genuinely in the collab + integrations surface.

The 15-month update gap is the story of 2026. When Chrome 139 cut MV2 support for good in June 2025, tools that hadn't updated since early 2025 generally did fine (they were already MV3), but the signal matters: actively maintained extensions get 12-month refresh cycles at minimum. Workona's gap is unusual.

Sessionat's position is auto-save + AI for individuals and small teams, priced like a consumer tool: $0 free, $19/mo Pro with 5 seats. If you need SOC 2 + SSO + SCIM + Slack/Jira/Notion deep integrations and can defend $20/user/mo, Workona earns that money. If you just want the auto-save to work tomorrow, that's where we win.

What Workona does better

Enterprise features

SOC 2 Type II, SAML SSO, SCIM user provisioning, audit logs, centralized billing. If your security team has a procurement checklist, Workona has every box. Sessionat does not yet.

Integrations

Workona's Google Drive, Slack, Notion, Asana, Figma, Jira, and Linear integrations are deep and genuinely useful in daily workflows. Sessionat currently treats every tab as a tab — no special handling per integration.

Team-scale workspace model

Shared workspaces with role-based permissions, visible team activity, “spaces” that mirror Jira epics. If you manage a team of 10+ people whose browsing is part of their work, Workona's model pays for itself.

Cross-browser

Workona runs on Chrome, Edge, and Firefox (Safari announced). Sessionat is Chromium-only today — Edge, Arc, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi work, but not Firefox or Safari yet.

FAQ

Real questions we get about Workona.

Can I migrate my Workona spaces to Sessionat?
Yes, but not losslessly. Export your Workona workspace contents (Menu → Export), then import into Sessionat. Tab URLs and session names carry over; Workona-specific concepts (resources, notes, integrations) do not.
Is Workona abandoned?
Not officially. They still operate, still charge customers, still respond to support. But their Chrome Web Store listing hasn't updated since January 2025 as of this page's publish date. For a tool charging enterprise-tier pricing, that is a genuine signal to watch.
Why is Sessionat $19/mo when Workona is $7/mo?
Different product. Our $19/mo covers 5,000 AI credits per month plus up to 5 team members. Workona's $7/mo is single-user and does not include AI. Per-seat-with-AI pricing would put us closer to Toby's $4.50/mo base — but all Sessionat features include AI, so it's not a matched comparison.
Does Workona have semantic search?
No — Workona has universal keyword search across workspaces, which is excellent for a keyword search but not semantic. Asking "that React spec I read three weeks ago" in plain English only works in Sessionat.
If I need SSO and SCIM today, should I pick Sessionat?
Not yet. Sessionat does not ship SSO or SCIM as of April 2026. If that is a hard requirement, Workona is the right answer. If your team can authenticate through standard logins, Sessionat Pro covers most small-team needs for $19/mo flat.
