Details
- Tool Type
- Ai Writing Assistant
- Platform
- Web, Chrome Extension, Ios, Android
- Collaboration
- No
Strengths
- Tight integration everywhere: Works in Google Docs and Word without copy-paste — a major workflow advantage.
- Free tier is actually useful: 10 rewrites/day covers casual use without forcing an upgrade.
- Faster than ChatGPT for sentence work: Inline suggestions appear in 1-2 seconds vs. switching tabs to a chat UI.
Limitations
- Sentence-level only: Wordtune does not generate scenes, plan plots, or maintain story context — it's the wrong tool for novel drafting.
- No fiction tuning: Suggestions skew toward business and academic prose; literary voice is often flattened.
- Not a grammar checker: Doesn't catch typos or grammar errors — pair with Grammarly or ProWritingAid for proofreading.
- Daily caps on free: 10 rewrites/day is fine for occasional polish, restrictive for full-manuscript revision.
Wordtune is an AI rewriting tool from AI21 Labs that suggests alternate phrasings for any sentence — shorter, longer, casual, formal — directly inside Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Gmail, and almost any browser textarea via its Chrome extension. It's a sentence-level co-pilot, not a story generator.
What You Get
- Rewrite suggestions: Highlight a sentence and get 5-10 alternative phrasings; choose tone (casual, formal) and length (shorter, longer).
- Browser extension: Works in Google Docs, Microsoft Word online, Gmail, Slack, LinkedIn, and most rich-text fields.
- Wordtune Spices: Generate explanations, examples, counter-arguments, or definitions to expand thin passages.
- Read mode: Summarize PDFs and long articles for research use.
- Mobile apps: iOS and Android keyboards bring rewriting to phone writing.
Pricing
- Free: 10 rewrites per day, basic features
- Plus / Premium: $6.99–$9.99/mo (annual billing) — unlimited rewrites, advanced tones
- Premium for Teams: Higher per-seat pricing
- Annual billing required for the lowest rates; monthly billing is materially more expensive.
