- Watch out: the yearly toggle shows $2.08 and $3.75 a month figures that don't match the monthly prices

- Watch out: the free plan names GPT 3.5 and paid plans GPT 4
Pick Wordtune if
- Fits if English isn't your first language and you want emails to sound natural
- Works for writers in Gmail or Google Docs who want rephrasing right there
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you write in anything but English, as that's the only language it writes in
- Tight if you're staying free, at 10 rewrites a day and 3 summaries a month, and Advanced still stops at 30 a day
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $13.99 for Advanced and $19.99 for Unlimited against $6.99 and $9.99 billed annually
- Watch out: the 3-day trial needs payment details up front, and Wordtune doesn't offer refunds
- Not for you if you want a Mac, Windows or Android app, as only a web editor, extensions and an iPhone app are listed
How we grade them
| 1.6GPACohesiveWeak | 2.2GPAWordtuneFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DCreator is $25 per editor a month and Agency $45, both in the dearest tenth of what writing tools charge, which starts at $19. | CAdvanced is $6.99 a month billed annually, the middle of the band for writing tools, and it's still capped at 30 rewrites a day. The plan without limits is Unlimited at $9.99. Pay monthly and both roughly double, to $13.99 and $19.99, and there are no refunds. |
| Free plan and trial | DA free Basic plan with 0 template runs, GPT 3.5, no AI images and no voice. It can't run the templates, and no trial is listed. | CBasic is free with unlimited spelling corrections and grammar checks, but the main feature is rationed to caps you'll hit in an afternoon: 10 rewrites and AI suggestions a day, 3 AI summaries a month. The 3-day trial of the paid plans asks for payment details up front. |
| Features | CTemplates, an AI editor, team editing, images, voice and research. Allowances for runs, images and voice reset monthly. | CIt does the basics with a gap the listing names plainly: Wordtune writes in English only, and other languages are merely input to translate from. Round the rewrite list sit tone and length controls on paid plans, spelling and grammar checks, a summarizer for articles and YouTube, and sourced AI suggestions. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Templates and settings take some learning. | C4.42 on the App Store from 988 ratings for the iPhone app, which sits in the middle band, under the 4.5 a B needs. There's little to learn, mind: select some text and pick from a list of suggestions. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with 0 integrations on Basic and up to 5 or 30 on paid plans. | BA web editor, Chrome and Edge extensions and an iPhone app, working inside Google Docs, Gmail, Slack, Outlook on the web, LinkedIn and WhatsApp Web. That list is what earns the B; there's no Mac, Windows or Android app, so an A is out. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
