How we grade them
| 2.4GPARytrFair | 1.8GPASassbook AI WriterWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CUnlimited is $7.50 a month billed yearly, or $9 monthly, which is middling for writing tools and outside the cheapest quarter, whose line is $5. And 35+ languages, more than one matched voice and custom use cases sit on Premium at $24.16, or $29 monthly. | D$32.50 per user a month billed yearly ($39 monthly), in the category's dearest tenth, which starts at $25. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree for good with no card, and it does include the 40+ use cases, 20+ preset tones and the Chrome extension. But 10,000 characters a month is a page or two of copy, and there's no tone matching and no plagiarism checking. | CA free plan with daily caps, such as 20 writer generations of up to 50 words, and no card. |
| Features | CIt does short copy fully, and that's a smaller job than most of this category: 40+ use cases, commands to continue, expand, reword or shorten, a voice matched to a sample of your writing, Copyscape checks on paid plans. Its own pricing table lists 1 language below Premium. | CFive tools: writer, story writer, summariser, paraphraser, headlines, with API credits. Writer output is short even on Premium. |
| Ease of use | BNo store rating on record, so we go on the listing: you pick a use case, an email or a caption, and it writes a draft, with nothing to set up first. The Chrome extension does the same inside other web apps, and free needs no card. | CNo store rating on record. Five tools and their limits to learn. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA web app and a Chrome extension, plus a pay-as-you-go API for building it into other products, which is what earns the B. No desktop or mobile app is listed, and Copyscape is the only integration. | CWeb only, with API credits on paid plans. |
| Best for | quick short-form marketing copy | a bundle of short AI writing tools |

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.
