Writing & Content tools compared
From each vendor's own pages, re-checked every two months. Of 34 tools we checked, 9 of 18 that state a policy don't train AI on your content, and 15 hold SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
How to choose writing & content tools
Most tools here help with text, but they're built for different jobs. These four things separate them most:
- Scope of the job. General assistants like ChatGPT and Grammarly handle everyday drafting and editing. Others are narrower: Textio covers job posts and employee feedback, Homes.ai / ListingAI covers real estate listings, and Writesonic focuses on AI search visibility.
- Where you write. Grammarly runs on web, desktop, mobile and as a Chrome extension. Wispr Flow turns speech into text on macOS, Windows, iOS and Android. Writer.com also works inside Slack.
- Team and brand controls. Jasper AI, Writer.com and Copy.ai are made for marketing and go-to-market teams that need consistent, on-brand output.
- Pricing and API. Grammarly, ChatGPT and Notta have free plans. Jasper, Writer.com and Writesonic offer free trials. If you want to connect a tool to your own systems, Jasper, Writer.com, Writesonic and Homes.ai list an API.
Frequently asked questions
Are there free AI writing tools?
Yes. ChatGPT, Grammarly, Notta, Wispr Flow and Homes.ai / ListingAI all have freemium plans. Textio, Writesonic, Writer.com and Jasper AI offer free trials instead of a lasting free tier.
How much do AI writing tools cost?
Among the listed prices, Notta starts at $8.17/mo, Wispr Flow at $12/mo, Homes.ai / ListingAI at $17/mo and Jasper AI at $59/mo. Several tools, including Writer.com, Writesonic and Copy.ai, don't list a starting price.
What should I look for in an AI writing tool?
Pick a tool built for your kind of writing: general editing (Grammarly), team marketing content (Jasper AI, Writer.com), hiring text (Textio) or property listings (Homes.ai / ListingAI). Then check that it runs where you work and has an API if you plan to automate tasks.
What are alternatives to ChatGPT for writing?
Grammarly is better for editing grammar and tone inside other apps. Jasper AI and Writer.com are aimed at brand-consistent marketing content. Wispr Flow works if you'd rather dictate than type.
