Summary

Hemingway Editor scores writing for readability and marks sentences or issues that may make a message harder to follow. Its Editor Plus tools can rewrite wordy sentences and passive voice, correct grammar, and adjust tone, length, and style. Plus also reviews documents and offers writing feedback and suggestions, and supports importing and exporting Word, Markdown, and HTML files. The Classic desktop app works offline and keeps writing on the computer; it can publish to WordPress or export HTML and Markdown for a blogging platform or CMS. Hemingway Editor is listed for web, macOS, and Windows. A free plan is available. Individual 5K costs $8.33 USD per month when billed annually, while Individual 5K monthly costs $10.00 USD per month. Hemingway Editor Classic is a separate $19.99 USD one-time purchase for Mac or Windows and does not include new AI features. For AI analysis or rewriting, content is sent to an LLM provider and discarded after processing; Hemingway says it does not use customer writing to train AI models.

Who it is for

It suits writers and teams working on communications, grants, sales proposals, or other written material. Classic may suit people who want offline desktop editing without the newer AI features.

What is good

  • Readability scoring highlights potentially difficult sentences.
  • Editor Plus adjusts tone, length, and style.
  • Classic works offline and keeps writing on the computer.
  • Editor Plus supports Word, Markdown, and HTML files.

What to know first

  • Editor Plus AI sends content to an LLM provider for processing.
  • Classic does not include new AI features.
  • Plus does not yet have SOC 2 or ISO certification.

Verdict

Hemingway Editor combines readability feedback with optional AI-assisted editing and document review. Choose between the free plan, paid Editor Plus options, and the offline Classic desktop license based on the features and workflow needed.
