About Hemingway Editor
Hemingway Editor is a readability tool from Boondoggle Studio that highlights the habits that make prose hard to read: long and convoluted sentences, adverbs, passive voice and complicated words. Paste or type text into the editor and it grades the passage and color codes each problem so the writer can fix it by hand. The original editor remains free to use in the browser.
Hemingway Editor Plus adds AI to that workflow. Instead of only flagging a highlight, it can rewrite the sentence for you, run an advanced grammar checker that marks issues in green, and change the tone or style of a selected passage through an AI tools button. It suits bloggers, marketers, students and business writers who want prose that is clear and correct without leaving the editor. Alongside the main product the company publishes standalone free tools for grammar checking, paraphrasing, AI proofreading and readability scoring.
There are three ways to use it. The web editor is free. Hemingway Editor Plus is a subscription with a two week free trial that requires no credit card; the subscription amounts are shown at sign up rather than on the marketing pages. Hemingway Editor Classic for Mac and PC is a one time purchase of $19.99 through the company's Shopify checkout; it works offline, formats text, publishes directly to WordPress and exports to HTML, Markdown, Word or PDF.
The desktop purchase does not include the new AI features, so buyers who want AI rewriting need Plus rather than Classic.
