How we grade them
| 1.8GPAMoonbeamWeak | 2.2GPAWordtuneFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D$49 a month billed yearly for one user, past the category's dearest tenth, which starts at $25. The monthly-billed price isn't shown. | 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 | CThe site mentions a free plan, but its limits aren't published. | 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 | CLong-form and social writing, chat, content clusters, templates and custom styles. Collaboration and integrations need Team. | 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. Wizard, chat and style settings to learn. | 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 and a Chrome extension; integrations only on Team. | 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. |
| Best for | long-form drafts like essays | rephrasing your English sentences |

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.
