InstaText vs ProWritingAid

InstaText improves writing supplied by the user for clarity, readability, grammar, and style without generating new content. Suggestions remain visible for users to accept or reject, and edits are not applied automatically. The service runs on the web and through a browser extension supporting more than 20 platforms, including Google Docs, Gmail, WhatsApp, Slack, Overleaf, Outlook, Salesforce, and WordPress. A Word add-in works with Word online and the classic version, with Track Changes for suggested revisions. Tone controls offer Auto, Formal, and Informal settings, while Personal Dictionary rules can preserve or replace specified wording. The Free plan costs nothing, allows five improvements daily and up to 1,500 characters at once, and is for personal, non-commercial use. InstaText One costs €24.99 a month billed monthly or €9.99 a month billed yearly at 119.88 € yearly, with unlimited use. The Windows desktop app is early access and requires internet; macOS is coming soon.

ProWritingAid provides grammar and style suggestions through browser extensions and a desktop editor. It works with Word, Google Docs, Scrivener, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, and browser extensions are available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. The free account handles 500 words at a time and includes two line-editing runs, ten rephrases, three Sparks, and three Creative Nudges per day. Premium and Premium Pro support documents of any length. Premium includes document sharing, real-time comments, and more than 25 writing analysis reports. Its plagiarism checker compares work against webpages, published works, and academic papers. The product supports English only, including general, British, US, Australian, and Canadian English. ProWritingAid says text entered into its editor is not kept on processing servers, is encrypted during processing, and is not used to train algorithms. The free plan is available; listed paid plans include Premium at $30 a month and Premium Pro at $36 a month, both billed monthly.
