Grammarly
The second pair of eyes on everything you write
Grammarly catches the mistakes that get noticed in a sponsor email or a video description, and it does it inside whatever box you are typing in rather than in a separate app. The free tier covers spelling, grammar and tone. Rewriting, plagiarism detection and the larger prompt allowance sit behind Pro.
Wordtune
Rewrites a sentence into ten other sentences
Wordtune is narrower than the tools that write from a brief: you give it a sentence you already wrote and it hands back alternatives, shorter, longer, more casual, more formal. That makes it useful to people who can write and get stuck, rather than to people who want a draft produced. The free plan allows a few rewrites a day and the trial on the paid ones runs three days.
Our note
The three-day trial is the shortest in this category, so decide what you want to check before starting it. What this does better than the general assistants is rewrite a sentence you already care about, which is a real and narrow use.
Why people weigh these two
- Wordtune instead of Grammarly
- Wordtune leads with rewriting, turning one sentence into many alternatives rather than just flagging errors, with a free tier and paid plans from $6.99 a month.
- Grammarly instead of Wordtune
- Grammarly checks grammar and tone across everything you write, with a free tier and plans from $12, broader proofreading than Wordtune's sentence-by-sentence rewrites.
Which one should you pick
Pick Grammarly if you want one tool watching everything you type for actual mistakes, in a browser, a desktop app or a phone keyboard. The free plan covers spelling, grammar, tone and 100 AI prompts a month, and Pro at $12 a month, $144 a year, adds rewrites and plagiarism detection after a 7-day trial that takes no card up front.
Pick Wordtune if your sentences are already correct and just sound stiff or foreign. Advanced is $6.99 a month billed annually, about $84 a year, roughly $60 less than Grammarly Pro, and includes length and tone controls plus a browser extension. The trial is only three days, the shortest in this category, so decide what to test before starting it.
Common questions
- Is Wordtune cheaper than Grammarly?
- Yes. Wordtune's Advanced plan is $6.99 a month billed annually, about $84 a year. Grammarly Pro is $12 a month with no annual discount stated, $144 a year, so Wordtune costs about $60 less across twelve months.
- Can Wordtune write a paragraph for me from scratch?
- No. It takes a sentence you already wrote and returns other versions of it, shorter, longer, more casual or more formal. Grammarly's Pro plan will rewrite a sentence too, but it starts from proofreading rather than paraphrasing as its main job.
- Which has the longer free trial?
- Grammarly, by four days. Its Pro trial runs 7 days and takes no payment up front. Wordtune's trial runs only 3 days, the shortest in this category, so plan what to test before starting it.
- Does Grammarly do what Wordtune does?
- Partly. Grammarly Pro rewrites full sentences as one feature among many. Wordtune exists only to generate alternatives to a sentence you give it, plus a summariser, so it goes deeper on that single job.
