In this piece

  • Pick by use case, not by headline accuracy. Education, publishing, individual writing and quick free checks each favour a different tool.
  • Pricing models differ more than prices do. Some vendors meter words per month, some credits, some characters per scan. Convert to your own volume before comparing.
  • Sentence-level highlighting and a published false-positive policy matter more than a tenth of a percent of claimed accuracy.
