ProWritingAid vs AutoCrit: Quick comparison

AutoCrit and ProWritingAid are both designed for fiction authors and creative writers. While they share many features, there are some key differences:

• ProWritingAid works across platforms like Word, Scrivener, Google Docs, and browsers via its browser extensions and desktop integrations. AutoCrit is primarily accessed through its online editor, keeping all analysis and feedback within its own cloud-based ecosystem. 

• ProWritingAid includes an advanced grammar checker, allowing you to see grammar, spelling, and readability corrections in real time. AutoCrit also offers grammar checking but places more emphasis on manuscript-level analysis rather than continuous, in-the-moment feedback. 

• AutoCrit allows writers to toggle between industry standard style guides for grammar checking. ProWritingAid also supports style customization but instead enables you to design your own custom guide, so you get suggestions tailored to your writing.

• ProWritingAid includes features to help creative writers rephrase text and overcome writer’s block with suggested alternatives. While AutoCrit can highlight errors, such as passive voice and repeated words, it doesn’t show you how you can fix them.

• While both prioritize your privacy and commit to never using your writing to train their tools, ProWritingAid undergoes regular external audits to reinforce this commitment.
