Which one is for you
Pick Wordvice AI if
- Fits if you proofread papers and want a Word add-in
- Works for small teams of 3 or more who want one yearly bill
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you edit long documents free, as Basic is 500 words a submission
- Tight if you want plagiarism checks, which Basic leaves out
- Watch out: Team Plan is annual only, needs 3 seats and is cancelled by contacting the company
- Watch out: only annual prices are recorded, the monthly price isn't shown
Pick Writefull if
- Fits if you write papers or a thesis in English and want feedback trained on journal articles
- Works for LaTeX writers who want the language check inside Overleaf
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $21 a month against $150 for the year, and no refunds are issued
- Not for you if you write in another language: its own models cover English only, and the GPT switch is in Overleaf, not Word
- Tight if you stay free on a long paper: suggestions stop at a daily quota, and Supercomplete and custom GPT prompts are Premium
- Watch out: Revise and Cite aren't in Premium or Group, and need an institutional license at an unpublished price
- Skip it if you want a desktop or phone app of its own, as it runs only inside Word, Overleaf and the browser

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.
