ProfText vs Text Inspector

ProfText checks documents for vague language, patterns associated with AI-generated writing, and academic citation validity. Available on the web and through an API, it accepts text and offers a free tier with 30 clarity and detection rules. ProfText says free analysis runs in a browser Web Worker, so text stays on the user’s device and is not retained. The free plan allows unlimited analyses of up to 5,000 characters each, but excludes citation verification, AI rewrites, compliance checks, risk scoring, and shareable report links. Pro costs €9.99 per month and raises the analysis limit to 100,000 characters. It adds citation cross-checks against OpenAlex, rewrites with tone controls, compliance flags, risk grading, custom rules, and.txt and.docx uploads. Pro also includes CSV export, priority support, and report links that remain available for 90 days. Enterprise adds REST API access, bulk processing, SSO and team management, and dedicated support at a custom price. The site describes team workflows with roles, document versioning, comments, approvals, and analytics.

Text Inspector analyses English text for difficulty, readability, lexical diversity, and CEFR levels. Its overall difficulty score draws on more than 200 metrics, while the CEFR Level Checker gives individual words a level along with their commonness and difficulty. Listed tools include Statistics and Readability, Lexical Diversity, Scorecard, Tagger, EVP, BNC, COCA, Academic Word List and Phrases, Knowledge-Based Vocabulary Lists, and Metadiscourse Markers. An API lets people and organisations add analysis and scoring to their own products. The maker describes it as useful to language professionals, academics, and students preparing teaching materials or tests and evaluating student work. English is fully supported; other languages may receive limited statistics or lexical-diversity information. The Free plan covers 250 words and automatically deletes analysis data after six hours. The Organisation plan allows up to 13,000 words, the largest stated limit. A 30-day trial is listed for API access, which starts from £360 per year.
