Analyze My Writing vs Hemingway Editor

Analyze My Writing is a free web-based analyzer for text content and readability. It counts words, sentences, characters, punctuation, and word or sentence lengths. The service lists common words, two-word and three-word phrases, and a word cloud. Readability results include Gunning Fog, Flesch-Kincaid, SMOG, Coleman-Liau, and Automated Readability indices, plus Fry and Raygor graphs. It calculates lexical density, shows parts of speech and tagged sentences, and highlights words that can indicate passive voice. Cloze tests can remove every nth word, selected words, or a random percentage; selected-word mode requires fewer than 5,000 characters. The Free plan costs nothing, needs no registration, and allows unlimited texts, with length limited by the browser and system. Submitted text is not saved, and no cookies or third-party cookie code are used. Log files may include technical visit details. Users must be at least 18.

Hemingway Editor scores writing for readability and highlights sentences and issues that may weaken or complicate a message. Editor Plus adds rewriting for wordy sentences and passive voice, grammar fixes, and controls for tone, length and style. It also provides document review with writing feedback and suggestions, and supports importing and exporting Word, Markdown and HTML files. The Classic desktop app works offline and keeps writing on the computer; it can publish to WordPress or export HTML and Markdown for a blogging platform or CMS. Hemingway Editor is available on web, macOS and Windows. The free plan is available. Individual 5K annual access costs $8.33 a month, billed as 100 USD annually, and includes 5,000 AI sentences per month. Hemingway Editor 3 desktop costs $19.99, paid once and does not include new AI features. Hemingway says document content is discarded after processing and is not used to train AI models. For analysis or rewriting, content is sent through Hemingway to an LLM provider, currently OpenAI, Google or Anthropic, and then discarded. Editor Plus does not yet have SOC 2 or ISO certification.
