Every writing tool we track, cheapest first
-
Wordtune
AI rewriting and editing companion.
At $6.99–$9.99/mo annually, Wordtune is undercutting Grammarly Premium ($12/mo) and positioning well below Jasper or Copy.ai — they're clearly going after the budget-conscious individual writer, not enterprise teams. It's a volume play: low price, low friction, wide top of funnel.
Plans: Basic $0/mo · Advanced $6/mo · Unlimited $9/mo
-
Hemingway Editor
Bold, clear writing with AI.
At $8-12/mo this is bargain-bin territory compared to Grammarly Premium or ProWritingAid's team tiers, positioning Hemingway as the lightweight, one-job-done-well tool rather than a full writing suite. They're clearly chasing solo writers and small teams who want clarity/readability checks without paying for AI-generation bloat.
Plans: Individual 5K $8/mo per seat · Individual 10K $12/mo per seat · Team 10K $12/mo per seat
-
QuillBot
Paraphrasing and writing tools.
At $8.33/mo annually, QuillBot is firmly in the budget tier of AI writing tools — undercutting Grammarly Premium and well below Jasper or Copy.ai. They're clearly going after students and freelancers who want utility without the price tag, not enterprise buyers.
Plans: Free $0/mo · Premium $8/mo · Team Plan Contact Sales
-
Grammarly
AI writing assistant.
Grammarly sits mid-to-premium in the writing assistant category — pricier than bare-bones grammar checkers but still way cheaper than hiring an editor, which is really the alternative they're selling against. They're chasing the huge base of free users who've outgrown basic spellcheck and need something smarter for work communication, not writers looking for a discount tool.
Plans: Free $0/mo per seat · Pro $30/mo per seat · Enterprise Contact Sales
-
ProWritingAid
Grammar checker and style editor.
At $10/month annually, they're undercutting Grammarly Premium (typically $12-15/month) while targeting a more writing-craft-focused audience — think authors and editors, not just business writers. The lifetime option is a bold differentiator that signals confidence in retention and appeals to cost-conscious power users who hate subscriptions.
Plans: Free $0/mo · Premium $30/mo · Premium Pro $36/mo
