However, ProWritingAid proved to have a broader vision. What makes the software stand out is that it acts as a writing coach. In the sense that it doesn\u2019t only correct your spelling and punctuation (in fact, other tools might be more accurate in this than ProWritingAid), but it addresses every layer of your writing like the style and word choice, the passive voice etc.\n\n\n\n\n\nHowever, in my opinion, the best thing about ProWritingAid has nothing to do with the tool itself. It\u2019s something they worked hard and long on since 2021 if I\u2019m not mistaking. But I\u2019m not going to tell you about it now. Let\u2019s dive into what you\u2019re here for–the review.\n\n\n\n\n\nBut first, if you don\u2019t know what is ProWritingAid. Don\u2019t worry. I\u2019ll tell you, my little weirdo who stumbled upon this blog post and decided for whatever reason to keep reading. ProWritingAid is an editing software that can help you improve your writing in all areas, from grammar and spelling to style and clarity.\n\n\n

Is ProwritingAid worth the hype? Is it right for you? What\u2019s the difference between the free and the premium version of the software?<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n\n\nIs ProwritingAid worth the hype? Is it right for you? What\u2019s the difference between the free and the premium version of the software? I\u2019ll try to answer this question in this review.\n\n\n\n\n\nFirst of all, you can use the software on web browsers on both Windows and Mac, or you can use their wide selection of integrations.\n\n\n\n\n\nOne of the pros of the software is that it\u2019s easy to use. Go to the website https:\/\/prowritingaid.com\/<\/a>. This is what you\u2019ll see on the homepage:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nClick on the Get Started<\/em> button to use it for free, or click on Purchase<\/em> to see their plans.\n\n\n

The Free Version:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nClick on the Get Started <\/em>Button and start writing!\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nThe process is self explanatory. You can either type out your text directly on the designated place, or upload your file (Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Open Office).\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nProWritingAid will scan your writing and provides a detailed reports that will appear on the right of the page.\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nThe report they provide details what you need to pay attention to\u2014the areas of improvement. The percentage shown on top of each category serves as a guideline. You don\u2019t have to score 100% in all of them. However, there is a green zone, it\u2019s better if you stayed within it.\n\n\n\n\n\nBut remember, you know your writing better than any AI tool in the world. You don\u2019t have to accept every suggestion they give. If the \u201cmistake\u201d they flagged was intentional, don\u2019t change it. But you need to make sure that what you wrote was indeed an active choice and not a writing mistake. Was your passive voice intentional? Did you have a reason for choosing that particular word instead of the one they suggested? Do you need your sentences to be that long? Etc\n\n\n\n\n\nProWritingAid\u2019s YouTube channel has a playlist that explains in details how to use Prowritingaid<\/a>. The videos are very short (of about two minutes each).\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nOK, one last thing. Do you see that bar on the bottom of the page?\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nThose are the browsers and apps into which you can integrate ProwritingAid. Just click on the icon and click add to (the app you have chosen).\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nHere is a list of all the integrations offered by them https:\/\/prowritingaid.com\/integrations<\/a>. Please note that not all the integrations are available in the free version of the software.\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nMake sure you play around with the different features to see what suits your needs the best. The bar on top of the page is a good place to start.\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nProWritingAid offers over 20 writing reports for both the free and premium version, but you\u2019ll only be able to edit 500 words at a time with the free version.\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nThe free version offers more than enough for a beginner writer. If you\u2019re on a budget you can use it, and you\u2019ll see the positive impact on your writing. Here is what the free plan offers:\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Premium Version<\/h1>\n\n\n\n\nNow, if you decide to invest in the software, remember that you have three payment methods:\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nProWritingAid is always offering discounts (for example for the participants of the writing weeks they host and in many other occasions as well). Go to Your One-Stop Discount Shop <\/a>blog post<\/a> to see their coupon codes and when they offer them.\n\n\n\n\n\nShould you decide to try the app first, you can sign up for their seven days free trial, and once you purchase a license, you\u2019ll benefit of their 14-day refund policy.\n\n\n\n\n\nSo, what does the premium plan offer?\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nAs you can see, the premium version offers, on top of the free features, some in-depth insights and valuable tools. Read carefully the list and see if they answer to your needs. Check out this video<\/a> of the Founder and CEO of ProWritingAid, Chris Banks, where he walks you through the ProWritingAid web editor, talking in depth about all the features it has. It\u2019s a long video, but you can skim over it and watch the parts that interest you the most.\n\n\n\n\n
Pro tip: While using the free version of the app, sometimes it underlines a word or a phrase in your writing, but the suggestion is reserved to the premium user. You still can access it most of the time by going through the reports on the right of the screen one by one. You’ll end up finding the suggestion you’re looking for.<\/blockquote>\nAs you can see, ProWritingAid can be the tool you didn’t know you need for a polished and professional writing. It helps you:\n\n\n\n\n
