Hemingway Editor vs Lingofy

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.

A Plain Language guide based on U.S. government guidance provides usage, synonym, and sentence-structure suggestions. Listed integrations include Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, Google Docs, and Adobe InDesign. A centralized engine supports shared rules across users, while the maker provides an API for content-management systems. Custom style guides, terminology management, brand voice rules, team workflow, and suggested rule actions are listed. Lingofy runs through API, extension, macOS, web, and Windows.
