Hemingway Editor vs Revise

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.

Revise is a browser-based AI document editor and word processor, offered through web, API, and self-hosted options. Its AI agent can brainstorm, draft, edit, rewrite, and search the web for citations, presenting proposed changes for review. AI edits appear as tracked changes that users can accept or reject individually. The editor supports DOCX, PDF, Markdown, and text files, with export to DOCX, PDF, and Markdown. Revise supports models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI, plus real-time collaboration and focused document comment threads. ChatGPT and Claude plugins use the customer’s subscriptions, while an SDK connects external agents through MCP. Documents and AI conversations are described as private by default, encrypted in transit and at rest, and deletable by the user. The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes a daily AI limit. Plus costs $8 per month, Pro $20 per month, and Max $80 per month. The API is billed per request, with 18 MiB uploads and PDFs up to 100 pages.
