Grammarly vs Wordtune
The jobs differ: Grammarly polishes anything you write anywhere; Wordtune rewrites sentences you select. Grammarly: Free (basic checks, 100 AI prompts/mo), Pro $30/member/mo ($12/mo billed annually at $144/yr; $60 quarterly), Enterprise custom — checks everywhere you type, 2,000 AI prompts/mo on Pro, plagiarism and AI-text detection, team style guides. Wordtune: Free (10 rewrites/day, 3 AI prompts, 3 summaries), Plus $24.99/mo ($9.99/mo annual, 30 rewrites/day), Unlimited $37.50/mo ($14.99/mo annual, uncapped rewrites/prompts) — sentence-level rewriting and tone toggles via browser extension, no grammar-everywhere engine. Use Grammarly as the always-on editor; use Wordtune when a specific sentence needs better cadence. Both have AI-detector features worth treating skeptically. There is no measured quality winner in this review.
| Decision point | Grammarly | Wordtune |
|---|---|---|
| Best suited to | Editing an existing draft for clarity, tone, grammar, and concise rewrites. | Writers who need to refine existing sentences or paragraphs, summarize a webpage or PDF, or ask follow-up questions about a draft. |
| Plans and cost | Free is listed at $0 with 100 AI prompts per month. Pro shows 2,000 prompts per member/month and $12/month billed annually equivalent; official support lists $30 monthly, $60 per quarter, or $144 annually per member. | Basic is a free plan with 10 rewrites or AI suggestions per day and 3 AI summaries per month. Paid plans offer a 3-day trial that requires payment information; the pricing page uses $ signs and says prices may vary by region or promotion, without explicitly identifying USD. |
| Limitations | Suggestions can change intended meaning. Generative prompt allowances and prices depend on plan and billing period; review the current plan terms. | The free plan has daily rewrite and monthly summary limits. Wordtune's help page says most rewrite and generative outputs are currently only promised in English, even when the input is in another language. |
Use the same input
Take a 1,000-word draft with awkward sentences. Run it through both tools, apply their suggestions, and compare the final readability.
What a successful result must preserve
Both tools must improve the same 1,000-word draft (grammar, clarity, tone) inside a browser or document, and the monthly cost must be within published plan prices.
