Every writing tool we track, cheapest first
-
Wordtune
AI rewriting and editing companion.
At under $10/month, Wordtune undercuts Grammarly Premium and most AI writing assistants by a wide margin, positioning itself as the budget-friendly alternative rather than a premium suite. They're clearly chasing individual writers, students, and freelancers who want AI polish without paying for a full writing platform.
Plans: Basic $0/mo · Advanced $6/mo · Unlimited $9/mo
-
Hemingway Editor
Bold, clear writing with AI.
At $8-12.50/mo, Hemingway undercuts most AI writing assistants like Grammarly Premium or Wordtune, positioning itself as the budget-friendly clarity tool rather than a full grammar/style suite. They're not chasing enterprise — this is aimed at solo creators and small teams who want a cheap, no-frills editor without paying for features they won't use.
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 annualized, QuillBot undercuts Grammarly Premium and most AI writing tools, positioning itself as the budget-friendly choice for individuals rather than a team-first product. They're clearly chasing students and solo writers/content creators, not enterprise buyers who'd want the Team plan's specifics upfront.
Plans: Free $0/mo · Premium $8/mo · Team Plan Contact Sales
-
Grammarly
AI writing assistant.
Grammarly sits at the premium end of the writing-tool category — there's no free trial to test-drive Pro, and no usage-based entry point like some AI writing competitors offer. They're not competing on price; they're betting their brand recognition and enterprise trust (privacy, security certifications) win the deal against cheaper AI upstarts.
Plans: Free $0/mo per seat · Pro $30/mo per seat · Enterprise Contact Sales
-
ProWritingAid
Grammar checker and style editor.
Sitting well below Grammarly Business territory but above bare-bones grammar checkers, ProWritingAid positions itself as the writer's-craft tool rather than the corporate-comms tool. They're clearly chasing novelists, bloggers, and freelance writers who want Grammarly-level polish plus style/structure analysis Grammarly doesn't really do.
Plans: Free $0/mo · Premium $30/mo · Premium Pro $36/mo
