DeepL Write

By DeepLCologne, Germany1 product across 1 category

Built for this. The same quality that made its translation worth paying for, applied to rewriting. Notably better than the field on European languages.

Free plan

Free tier with a character limit
Month to month
$10.49/mo
Individual
Billed yearly
$8.74/mo
Individual plan −17%

Watch out: Improves phrasing rather than argument, and will not tell you a paragraph is not worth keeping. Write is not sold on its own: it comes with a DeepL Pro subscription, whose entry tier is capped at 300,000 characters a month.

LanguageTool

By LearneoRedwood City, United States2 products across 1 category

Built for this. Strong across more than 30 languages rather than English alone, and it can be self-hosted, which almost nothing else in this category offers.

Free plan
Yes
Free tier covering basic grammar and spelling

$24.90/mo
Premium
Billed yearly
$5.83/mo
$69.90 a year, Premium plan −77%

Watch out: Owned by the same company as QuillBot since 2023. Month to month costs more than four times the annual rate, and there are four payment intervals to pick between, so the interval matters more than the tier.

Trinka AI

Watch out: Academic English only — it is the wrong tool for a blog post. The yearly prices on the cards are 40 per cent offers on Premium and Confidential Data, whose standing rates are $80 and $500, and the free tier stops at 5,000 words a month.
