You may be familiar with Grammarly, but know less about ProWritingAid.

Essentially ProWritingAid is a competitor to Grammarly—and a worthy one at that. They do much the same thing; but they do have a few important differences that I’ll outline below.

In my experience using ProWritingAid, I’ve found it to be a powerful editing program that offers a variety of real-time editing solutions to improve both grammar and writing style.

You can use ProWritingAid will help you with:

• Spelling and grammar errors
• Poor word choice
• Sticky sentences that slow your reader down
• Vague and abstract words
• Duplicated words and phrases
• Past and present tense consistency
• Overall readability of your content.
• You can also use ProWritingAid in a varety of ways.

ProWritingAid integrates with Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Scrivener, and most web browsers, and you can download their Desktop App for Windows (but not Mac). Or you can upload your documents to its web-based editor.
