Why people choose NOVA Ink over LanguageTool
- More than corrections. NOVA Ink fixes your English and then helps finish the job: a Gmail reply drafted from the thread, a broken formula fixed in Google Sheets, a real source found for your claim.
- Rewrites with a purpose. Clearer, Shorter, More formal or More natural, plus a tone word and one-tap tone chips.
- A natural check. See why a paragraph sounds stiff and fix it in one tap.
- One simple US price. US$7.99 a month or US$71.88 a year, with a 7-day trial and no card.
- Private by default. Spelling and several checks run on your device, it is always off on banking and health sites, and our servers don't store your text.
When LanguageTool might suit you instead
If you write in languages other than English, or mainly in Firefox, Safari or desktop apps, LanguageTool covers more of those.
