5. Reviews & Sources External reviews
| Source | Rating | What it says |
|---|---|---|
| Pros | — | Aggregate: 4.3–4.6/5 across G2/Capterra (~278–13k reviews depending on aggregator); PCMag: “shines on rewrite, weak on grammar”. |
| Pros | — | Strengths cited: most natural sentence rephrases of any rewriter; tone toggle actually shifts register; extension works everywhere; non-native speakers gain fluency fast. |
| Pros | — | Gripes: free 10/day too tight; not a grammar checker (pair with Grammarly); no plagiarism; Spices only on top tier; sentence/paragraph scope only (no doc-wide consistency); AI21 slowed feature dev; mobile < desktop; occasional extension stale-reload |
| Pros | — | Verdict: best-in-class style rewriter, mid-pack writing assistant. Buy it for “make my sentence land”, not “proof my essay”. |
