Gratis-Ratgeber zu Schreib-Tools

Unsere Top drei Schreib-Tools

These three do different jobs more than they compete. Microsoft Word comes first: it is free in a browser and runs on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android. Grammarly is second for people who want their writing checked in every app, and Scrivener is third for long manuscripts. LanguageTool narrowly missed second: it checks more than 30 languages and costs less than Grammarly, but its free plan stops at 2,000 characters per text field. Reedsy Studio narrowly missed third: it is free for unlimited books, but runs only in a browser. LibreOffice Writer is free and open source, with no cloud version.

  1. Platz 1: Microsoft Word

    Gratis-Plan · ab $9.99/monat

    Für: Most people

    Microsoft Word is a word processor for writing, formatting and reviewing documents. Word for the web is free for one person, with real-time collaboration, basic spelling and grammar checks, dictation and 5 GB of cloud storage, and Word also runs on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android. Its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.7 from about 3 million ratings. Know the limits: the Windows and Mac apps are not free. They need a Microsoft 365 subscription, from $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year for Personal, or the one-time Office Home 2024 purchase at $179.99 for 1 PC or Mac. Copilot, which drafts and rewrites inside Word, needs a paid subscription and has usage limits.

  2. Platz 2: Grammarly

    Gratis-Plan · ab $12/monat

    Für: People who want their writing checked in every app

    Grammarly checks spelling, grammar and tone and suggests rewrites as you type, inside other apps and sites: it has desktop apps for Windows and Mac, browser extensions, and iPhone and Android apps, and works in tools such as Gmail, Google Docs, Word and Slack. The Free plan covers spelling and grammar corrections, tone detection and 100 AI prompts a month, and its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.7 from about 225,000 ratings. It is second because it is an assistant on top of the app you write in, and its Free plan leaves out full-sentence rewrites and tone adjustments. Pro is $12 per member a month, billed annually, but $30 billed monthly, and the advanced suggestions cover six languages.

  3. Platz 3: Scrivener

    Kostenlose Testphase · ab $23.99 einmalig

    Für: Writers of novels, theses and other long manuscripts

    Scrivener is built for long manuscripts such as novels, theses and scripts. A project is split into sections that sit in a binder beside your notes and research, and moving index cards on a corkboard or rows in an outliner reorders the manuscript itself before it is compiled into one document. It is a one-time purchase with no subscription: $59.99 for macOS or Windows, and $23.99 for iPhone and iPad. It is third because it serves one kind of writing and has no free version, only a trial that lasts for 30 days of use. Each platform needs its own license, no Android, Linux or web version is listed, and sync between the iPhone and iPad app and the desktop versions runs through Dropbox.

Könntest du es selbst bauen?

A writing app at its plainest is a page that saves what you type. Grammar checking, a manuscript's structure and export to what publishers accept are where bought tools earn their price.

Häufige Fragen

Was sind die besten Schreib-Tools?

Stand 09.10.2026: ToolGPA platziert Microsoft Word auf Platz 1 (für: most people), Grammarly auf Platz 2 (für: people who want their writing checked in every app), Scrivener auf Platz 3 (für: writers of novels, theses and other long manuscripts).

Wie macht ToolGPA das Ranking der Schreib-Tools?

Nach dem, was die eigenen Seiten jedes Tools zeigen (Preis, Gratis-Plan, Plattformen, Funktionen und Grenzen), und nach dem, was Leute in öffentlichen Bewertungen und Diskussionen darüber sagen. Nicht nach eigenen Tests. Platz 1 geht an das Tool, das zu den meisten Leuten passt, und Platz 2 und 3 an die beste Wahl für die Leser, die dabei außen vor bleiben.
