Based on each product's own website and store listing as of October 2026. Spotted something out of date? Let us know.

Infinity New Tab packs a lot into the new tab page: an icon grid, wallpapers, widgets and an AI chat. If what you actually use every day is the grid of sites, an Infinity New Tab alternative built around bookmarks may suit you better. Speed Dial 2 has been doing that one thing well since 2011.

Why people look for an Infinity New Tab alternative

The price of the paid plans

As of October 2026, Infinity's paid plans cost $59, $99 or $129 a year (Standard, Professional and Premium, or $4.92 to $10.75 a month). That is a lot for a new tab page if you mainly want your sites and sync. Speed Dial 2 Pro is $12 a year.

Shortcuts you didn't choose

Infinity's store listing says the page may include a few optional partner shortcuts by default, such as eBay. They are disclosed and you can remove them. Some people would rather start with a page that holds only their own sites.

Firefox

Infinity is listed for Chrome and Edge. If you also use Firefox, you want the same page there.

What Speed Dial 2 does differently

Speed Dial 2 search results for saved this week, shown as bookmark tiles — Search in your own words, like “saved this week”. Free.

Bookmarks first. Your sites as visual tiles with logos or page screenshots. Choose 3 to 20 columns, spacing and width, so a laptop and an ultrawide monitor both look right.
Groups. Keep Work, Home and Reading apart, and hide a group on a particular computer while it stays in sync.
Only what you add. No partner shortcuts and no ads. The first-run wizard suggests your most-visited sites, and you pick which ones to keep.
Search in plain words. Type "saved this week", "never visited" or part of a name, and the best match comes first.
Jump. One keyboard shortcut opens a search box on any page to open a bookmark, switch tabs or save the page you are on.
Every major browser. Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Brave.

What it costs

Speed Dial 2 is free, including bookmarks, groups, search, Jump, Focus Mode and the clock, tasks and notes widgets. Speed Dial 2 Pro is $12 a year and adds sync across your computers, automatic daily backups, the iOS and Android app, weather, calendar and countdown widgets, password-protected groups, more than 66 extra backgrounds and your own uploads.

What Infinity does that Speed Dial 2 doesn't

To be fair, Infinity includes an AI chat on the new tab page, and Speed Dial 2 does not. If that is the feature you use most, Infinity is the better fit. If you open your new tab to get to your sites, Speed Dial 2 gets you there faster, for less.
