Workflow approach

Schriftly

Built for speed. Select text in any app, press a keyboard shortcut, get instant AI transformation. Designed for quick, frequent text improvements throughout your day.

ProWritingAid

Built for deep analysis. Open your text in ProWritingAid, run 25+ reports, review detailed suggestions. Designed for thorough writing sessions, especially long-form content.

Pricing

Schriftly

$39 one-time for lifetime BYOK access. Or $9/month hosted. Most BYOK users spend under $1/month on API costs. Total cost of ownership is very low.

ProWritingAid

$30/month, $120/year, or $399-499 for lifetime. Even the annual plan is more expensive than Schriftly's one-time payment.

Capabilities

Schriftly

Grammar, translation, summarization, tone adjustment, code explanation, and unlimited custom prompts with 200+ AI models. Universal text assistant.

ProWritingAid

25+ writing reports including style, readability, overused words, sentence structure, and more. Deep analysis for authors and long-form writers.

Where it works

Schriftly

Any app on Mac and Windows. Email clients, code editors, chat apps, documents — anywhere you type text.

ProWritingAid

Web editor, browser extensions, Word add-in, and Scrivener integration. Strong for specific apps but doesn't work everywhere.

Bottom line: ProWritingAid is excellent for authors and long-form writers who want deep writing analysis reports. Schriftly is better for everyday users who want fast, AI-powered text transformations in any app — at a fraction of the cost.
