About

Hemingway Editor evaluates writing for readability and highlights sentences and issues that can make a message harder to follow. Editor Plus adds AI-assisted rewriting for wordy sentences and passive voice, grammar fixes, and controls for changing tone, length, and style. It also reviews documents and provides feedback and suggestions. Editor Plus supports importing and exporting Word, Markdown, and HTML files. The Classic desktop app works offline, keeps writing on the computer, and can publish to WordPress or export HTML and Markdown for a blogging platform or CMS. The listed platforms are web, macOS, and Windows. Hemingway says it does not retain document content after processing or use customer writing to train AI models; AI analysis and rewriting send content through the service to an LLM provider, currently OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic, after which it is discarded. The Individual 5K annual plan costs 8.33 USD per month, billed annually. Hemingway Editor 3 desktop is a 19.99 USD one-time purchase and does not include new AI features.

Who it is for

It suits individuals and teams who want readability feedback and editing support for written work. Classic fits users who want offline desktop editing; Editor Plus supports document review and AI-assisted changes.
