Wordtune
AI rewriter that improves your writing.
About Wordtune
You've written a line in a client email that says roughly what you mean, but it reads stiff or a little off. In Wordtune, you highlight it and get a list of context-based rewrite suggestions. You can flip between casual and formal tones with one click, then pick the version that sounds like you. That's the workflow Wordtune is built around, and it's where the tool is strongest. It's less "write my email for me" and more "show me better versions of the sentence I already wrote." One testimonial on wordtune.com puts it well: it's like having 10 friends suggest alternatives to your sentence, and you can pick the best one without hurting anyone's feelings.
Around that core, Wordtune has added the features you'd expect from a modern writing assistant. There's a grammar and spelling checker, a "Continue writing" option for when you stall, and quick prompts like Explain, Emphasis and Add a conclusion. You also get a Smart Synonym generator, a Humanize AI tool, and summaries of documents, webpages and YouTube videos. Smart Translate covers 10 languages and is pitched at non-native speakers who want their English to read like a native speaker wrote it. The company reports 10M+ users and a 4.7/5 Chrome extension rating. It also says it checks at least 5 sources before treating a fact as credible.
The catch is the usage caps. The free Basic plan gives you 10 rewrites and AI suggestions per day and 3 summaries a month. That's enough to get a feel for the tool, but you'll hit the limit fast if you rewrite emails all day. Advanced raises the cap to 30 rewrites a day. Only the Unlimited plan, at $9.99/mo or $6.99/mo billed annually, removes the ceiling. If sentence-level rewriting is the job you need done, Wordtune is one of the more pleasant tools for it. If you mostly want long drafts generated from scratch, a general chatbot will give you more output per dollar.
Key features
Context-based rewrites
You highlight a sentence and Wordtune offers a list of rewrite suggestions meant to fit your writing style, so you can pick the closest match to what you meant.
Formal and casual tone switch
A single click shifts a sentence between casual and formal, which is handy when the same message has to go to a teammate and to a client.
Continue writing and quick prompts
When you get stuck, you can have Wordtune continue your text, or use prompts like Explain, Emphasis, Elaborate and Add a conclusion to extend a paragraph.
Read and Summarize
Wordtune can summarize documents, articles, webpages and YouTube videos, though the free plan limits you to 3 summaries a month.
Grammar checker and proofreading
Spelling and grammar checks are unlimited on every plan, including the free Basic tier.
Smart Translate and Smart Synonyms
Translation across 10 languages and a synonym generator are aimed at non-native English speakers who want more natural phrasing.
Best for
- non-native English speakers polishing work emails
- people who draft first and want help with phrasing
- students tightening academic sentences
- support and social teams rewriting short messages all day
Skip if
- Skip this if you want long-form drafts written from scratch, since the tool is built around rewriting text you've already typed
- Skip the free tier if you write heavily every day, because 10 rewrites per day runs out quickly
- Skip this if you mainly write in languages other than English, since translation exists but the product is centered on English writing
Pros & cons
Pros
- Unlimited spelling and grammar checks even on the $0 Basic plan
- Multiple rewrite options per sentence, plus a one-click formal or casual toggle
- Summaries work on YouTube videos and webpages, not just pasted text
- Annual billing cuts Unlimited from $9.99/mo to $6.99/mo
- Paid plans come with a 3-day free trial, and you don't need a credit card to start free
Cons
- Free plan caps you at 10 rewrites and AI suggestions per day and 3 summaries per month
- The $6.99/mo Advanced plan is still capped at 30 rewrites a day, so heavy writers basically have to go Unlimited
- The site says it works in your favorite apps but doesn't list which ones beyond the Chrome extension and mobile app
- Source material is thin on how the AI works or which models power it, so you'll learn most of the details after signup
