Hemingway Editor
Hemingway Editor scores writing for readability and draws attention to sentences and issues that can make a message harder to follow. Its Editor Plus tools can rewrite wordy sentences and passive voice, fix grammar, and adjust tone, length, and style. Editor Plus also reviews documents and offers feedback and suggestions, and it can import and export Word, Markdown, and HTML files. The Classic desktop app works offline and keeps writing on the computer; it can also publish to WordPress or export HTML and Markdown for a blogging platform or CMS. The product is available on the web, macOS, and Windows. Hemingway lists a free plan and a 14-day trial. Annual Individual 5K costs $8.33 USD per month, billed annually, and includes 5,000 AI sentences per month. Hemingway Editor 3 desktop is a $19.99 USD one-time purchase for offline editing on Mac and Windows, without new AI features. Hemingway says submitted content is discarded after AI processing and is not used to train models; processing sends document content through Hemingway to an LLM provider. Editor Plus is hosted in the United States, uses AES-256 encryption, and does not yet have SOC 2 or ISO certification.
