Top 10 Gmail Chrome Extensions for 2025 Productivity

User reviews

Users praise the extension for improving productivity through accurate email and meeting summaries, smart scheduling that bases recommendations on participant availability and meeting quality, and seamless integration with Gmail and Google Calendar. The tool's reminders and engagement metrics further enhance meeting effectiveness. However, multiple users highlight drawbacks such as a restrictive free trial requiring promotional actions, higher subscription costs without proper trial access, and the absence of foreign language support.

Pros

Helps improve productivity by summarizing emails, meetings, and integrating multiple communication platforms like Slack and Zoom.
Smart scheduling feature that suggests the best times to meet based on participants' availability and past meeting effectiveness.
Accurate and fast generation of meeting summaries and reports, enhancing organization and follow-up.
User-friendly and intuitive interface that seamlessly integrates with Gmail and Google Calendar.
Meeting reminders and engagement scores help in better meeting preparation and follow-ups.

Cons

The free trial requires users to either share the product or leave a 5-star review to gain credits, limiting the ability to properly evaluate it beforehand.
The monthly subscription cost is perceived as high by some users, especially without a genuine free trial period.
Lack of support for foreign languages, which limits usability for non-English speakers.

Recent reviews

I now understand why this app has so many 5-star reviews - you can't fully try it without either leaving a 5-star review or sharing it with friends. The "free trial" requires one of these actions to get credits. Without complying, there's no way to properly evaluate if the tool would actually benefit my productivity. Additionally, the monthly subscription rate starts higher than I'm comfortable with, especially without a genuine free trial period to assess its impact on my workflow.

I'm much more focused and productive when writing emails and scheduling meetings thanks to Read. This extension allows me to continue using the same tools I love (Gmail, Google Calendar) while bringing in context from other sources (Slack, Zoom, etc.), which is a game-changer. Plus having a meeting reminder popup with a link to the Live Meeting Dashboard has saved me from being late more than once!

Naveen Yadav, 2024-10-29

I love these new features! I've been confidently using Readouts to stay focused during meetings. The ability to revisit the details of each meeting and refresh my memory on key takeaways, action items, calendar invites, and more has been a game changer for my productivity. This tool is incredibly helpful for anyone who is very busy and wants to stay on top of everything!
