  • Writefull

    AI language feedback, paraphrasing and copyediting tuned for academic writing, with Word and Overleaf plugins.

    Writefull gives academic language feedback inside Word and Overleaf LaTeX, and the developer states texts are not stored or used for training.

  • Grammarly

    An AI writing assistant that checks grammar and spelling and suggests rewrites and tone changes.

    Grammarly offers general grammar and tone suggestions across many apps and websites rather than tuning for academic writing, and processes text on its servers.

  • QuillBot

    An AI writing tool for paraphrasing, grammar checking, summarizing and generating citations.

    QuillBot combines paraphrasing, grammar checking and a citation generator, with apps for Windows, Android and iOS, but is less focused on academic style.

  • ProWritingAid

    A grammar checker and style editor with planning and critique tools aimed at fiction writers.

    ProWritingAid offers deeper style and line-editing feedback with a Word add-in, but it is geared toward fiction rather than academic papers.

  • Harper

    An open-source grammar and spell checker that runs entirely on your own device.

    Harper is a free, open-source checker that runs entirely on your device with no telemetry, but it is rule-based, English only and lacks academic tuning.
