ProWritingAid

ProWritingAid reports on a whole manuscript rather than a sentence, with checks for pacing, repeated phrasing, sticky sentences and dialogue tags that Grammarly does not attempt. The reports take a while to read and are worth it once. Free accounts are limited to 500 words at a time, which rules out the long-document work the tool is best at.

The free account checks 500 words at a time, which rules out the long-document reports that are the point of the tool. Premium is $10 a month billed yearly at $120 and removes the length limit. Premium Pro is $12 billed yearly at $144 and adds larger discounts on story credits. Monthly billing is offered at a higher rate, and the yearly saving is stated at 67 percent. Students get 20 percent off.

Anybody editing long drafts, particularly fiction, who wants structural feedback rather than grammar corrections. A creator writing captions and short posts gets more from Grammarly.
