Free AI writing assistants: questions people ask

Assistants that write and edit with you: drafts, rewrites, grammar and tone, long-form work such as books and reports, emails and posts. On this page every tool also has a plan that costs nothing for as long as you like, read from its own pricing page.

What does the free plan usually limit?

Credits, outputs or projects per month, a watermark, lower resolution or fewer seats. The limits differ by tool; the pricing page each status was read from says exactly what the free plan includes.

Is this a ranking of free AI writing assistants?

No. The list follows the site's one order: tools I have tested first, then the rest by how well known they are. Only a tested tool carries a grade.
