ProWritingAid review

ProWritingAid is the pick for writers who want AI to critique their fiction rather than write it. Alongside grammar and style checks, it offers Story Canvas Idea Feedback, an Outline Crafter, Chapter Critiques, and Sparks and Creative Nudges for getting unstuck. The free plan is usable: 3 Sparks, 10 Rephrases, 3 Creative Nudges and 2 runs per line editing report each day. Premium costs $10 a month billed yearly, $120 a year, and adds 1 Chapter Critique a day, 30 Idea Feedback runs, 25+ writing analysis reports, a custom style guide and author comparison. Premium Pro at $12 a month billed yearly raises Chapter Critiques to 30 a day and adds live workshops, cowriting sprints and group critique sessions. The catch is the monthly price, $30 for Premium, and the fact that the deepest manuscript reports on plot, characters, pacing and marketability use Story Credits bought on top of the plan.
