Avidemux vs Botoi Readability API

Avidemux has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

Botoi Readability API analyzes English text and returns Flesch-Kincaid Grade, Flesch Reading Ease, Gunning Fog, and underlying counts. A request sends a required text string to POST /v1/text/readability and receives JSON. Flesch Reading Ease scores run from 0 to 100, with higher values indicating easier reading; Gunning Fog estimates the years of formal education needed. The formulas and syllable heuristics are calibrated for English, so grade mapping is not meaningful for other languages. Botoi recommends sending at least 100 words because short samples can produce unstable scores. Suggested uses include enforcing plain-language standards, reviewing legal or medical drafts, refining blog posts for SEO, and comparing writing across authors. Examples are provided in cURL, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Go. The Free plan is free and lists 1,000 requests per day and 10 per minute; the endpoint page separately states five requests per minute for its free tier. Starter costs $9 a month. Requests above a per-minute or daily cap receive HTTP 429, and daily limits reset at midnight UTC.
