Lex
A word processor that happens to have AI in it, so the writing surface comes first and the suggestions stay out of the way until asked.

The categories Lex is listed in, and how strong a fit it is in each.
Emails, reports, essays, editing, summarizing, translation, presentations.
Lex has a free plan. Free tier available
A word processor first and an AI tool second, which is the opposite emphasis from most of this category.
Tools that do comparable work, best fit first, drawn from the catalogue rather than hand-picked. Every one is listed whether or not there is money in it for us.
Fastest for everyday drafting — emails, summaries, outlines — with the widest format support.
View ChatGPT →Strongest at long-form drafting and holding a consistent voice across a whole document rather than a paragraph.
View Claude →The same quality that made its translation worth paying for, applied to rewriting. Notably better than the field on European languages.
View DeepL Write →Turns a prompt or a pile of notes into a finished deck or document. The fastest route from rough thinking to something presentable.
View Gamma →Works inside the apps you already write in rather than a separate window, which is why it actually gets used. Grammar, tone and clarity in place.
View Grammarly →Marks the sentences that are hard to read and the adverbs you did not need, and does nothing else. The free web version has no sign-up.
View Hemingway Editor →Where Lex sits in the wider category pages.
Built for this — Emails, reports, essays, editing, summarizing, translation, presentations.
Yes — Free tier available. The cheapest paid tier is Lex Pro, at $24.99/mo month to month or $14.99/mo billed yearly.
A word processor that happens to have AI in it, so the writing surface comes first and the suggestions stay out of the way until asked. It is listed under Writing, Communication & Language, and this is what it is built for.
Fewer features than a dedicated editing tool, by choice. There is one paid tier, and the $30 of AI credits it includes each month is worth more than the subscription at either billing term, so what you are buying is model access more than software.
6 tools do comparable work: ChatGPT, Claude, DeepL Write, Gamma, Grammarly, Hemingway Editor. 6 of them have a free plan.
Checked by hand on 4 September 2026, because Lex cannot be read automatically: lex.page/pricing returns 200 with the plans drawn in JavaScript. Priced by hand from the single Lex Pro card on both billing terms; the free tier is not shown on that page. Prices change often — confirm on the provider's own page before spending.
