A proofreading tool that shows its changes rather than asking you to trust them.
editGPT takes text you bring to it, runs one of a set of editing passes over it, and returns the result as changes you accept or reject one at a time. For a writer with a long document and a change log to keep, that is most of the job done. The free allowance is small enough to work as a trial, and the yearly rate is the one tied to the current campaign.
Not for you if you want corrections to appear as you type inside every app you use, since editGPT works on text you bring to it rather than sitting under every text field.
How editGPT scored
Why trust these scores: the overall 4.4 weights these five at 35% editing quality and control, 25% word allowances and document limits, 15% track changes and document workflow, 10% language coverage and 15% price and value. Control leads because a proofreading pass is only worth keeping if you can see what it did and take it back. The allowances, the per-document ceilings, the three rates, the language list and the Word round trip are all line items the vendor publishes on its own pages. The quality of the edits is not among them: no accuracy figure, benchmark or sample at a known error rate appears anywhere this review could cite, so that score rests on the control the vendor documents rather than on a measured result. No vendor can pay for a score. Read how we rate.
What we like
- Changes arrive as a tracked revision you can accept or reject, which is what separates an edit from a suggestion
- Word documents survive the round trip with their formatting, so the file that comes back is the file that went in
- The passes run from a minimal grammar check to a full rewrite, letting one tool cover both a proofread and a restructure
- Custom prompts carry tone and vocabulary instructions, so a house style does not have to be retyped each session
- Submitted text is described as never shared and never used for training, with permanent deletion on request
Watch out for
- The advertised yearly rate is a promotional one, so the price to plan against is whatever the campaign leaves behind
- The free allowance is modest enough to be a trial rather than a home, and most regular writers will land on the cheapest paid tier
- The extension route leaves you copying text in and out of the ChatGPT tab, which the vendor's own guidance frames as the weaker option
- The per-document ceiling on the cheapest plan is well under the length of a chapter, so anything book-length moves up a tier
- The terms page sets no refund window, so what happens after a charge depends on a support request rather than a published rule
How we rated editGPT
This review was written from editGPT’s own customer-facing pages: the plan table with its word allowances and document limits, the help pages describing the editing prompts, and the privacy and terms pages covering how submitted text is handled. All of them were read on the date given at the end of the article. The five scores below are judgements about that material. Nothing was put through the editor to produce them, so none of the numbers here is a measurement taken by this site.
Editing quality and control
A pass begins with text you supply. Paste a passage or import a document, choose one of the editing prompts, and the editor hands back a revised version with the differences marked, so the first thing separating it from a checker that only underlines is that you can see what it did and take any of it back. The passes are built as a ladder rather than a single button. At the calm end is a grammar pass the vendor describes as making minimal changes; further along come a light proofread and a clarity pass; at the far end is a rewrite, which the vendor’s help page says can rebuild sentence structure rather than touch it up. Custom prompts sit outside the ladder for anyone who needs a house tone or a vocabulary rule applied consistently, and they can be saved rather than retyped for each document. The control also survives a bad pass, since a change you reject leaves the original text where it was, so a rewrite that goes too far costs a click rather than a paragraph. 4.4 for a set of controls that keeps the writer in charge of the result.
Word allowances and document limits
Two numbers govern every plan, and they do different jobs. The monthly allowance is the total an account may put through the editor in a billing cycle; the per-document ceiling is the longest single file it will accept. On the free allowance the pair is 20,000 words a month and 600 words a document. Pro raises them to 500,000 and 200,000, Elite to 3,000,000 and 200,000, and Business removes the monthly cap altogether. Read against one another, the per-document figure is the one that decides a tier for most writers, because 600 words is roughly a page of body text and a chapter is several times that. Between Pro and Elite the ceiling does not move at all, so a book-length manuscript is already inside Pro’s limit and only the monthly total separates the two tiers, which makes Elite a plan for volume rather than for length. 4.5 for the clearest part of the pricing table, with the free allowance sized for a sample rather than for a project.
Track changes and document workflow
The part of the product answering a real editorial problem is the Word round trip. A .docx file can be imported, edited and exported back with the changes marked, so the review step happens where the writer already keeps the document instead of in a separate text box. Formatting carries across the trip, which means bold, italics and the rest of the styling arrive intact rather than flattened into plain text. A revision history keeps earlier states of a document, the suggestions panel gathers the changes in one place, and the exported file is a tracked revision rather than a clean copy, so a co-author or an editor who works in Word can review the same marks the writer reviewed. The browser extension reaches a similar result by a longer road: it produces the marked-up text inside the ChatGPT tab, and the vendor’s own guidance is to copy it and paste it into Word to keep the markup. How new the Word features are is worth noting, since the quick DOCX path carries a new-feature label on the plan table. 4.4 for a workflow that meets an editor halfway and a feature set still filling out.
Language coverage
Multi-language support is listed on every plan, the free allowance included, which is worth stating plainly because language coverage is often the feature that pushes a reader onto a paid tier elsewhere. In practice the editor takes a target language from a dropdown, or is left on automatic and detects the language of whatever is pasted in, which suits a writer who moves between two languages in the same session. Tone and style adjustments are described as working across those languages rather than being built for English alone. 4.5 for coverage that starts on the free allowance and needs no configuration for the common case.
Price and value
Pro is $10 a month billed monthly, or $60 a year; Elite is $25 a month or $144 a year; Business is $100 a month or $720 a year with unlimited words in place of an allowance. The page presents the yearly rates as a saving of 50% against the monthly ones, and it prices the three plans on its own table. Business carries four team seats and a team management dashboard, which is what the extra money buys beyond volume. The free allowance is real but modest, and it currently sits outside the plan table rather than inside it: the pricing page shows the three paid plans, while the button in the hero invites a visitor to start for free, so the no-cost route is one a reader finds after signing up rather than one they can weigh on the page. Judged on rate alone the value is strong. Five dollars a month on the yearly Pro term covers half a million words, more than most working writers will use in a year, and the editor replaces a category of tool that usually charges by the seat. 4.2 for a generous allowance behind a rate tied to a campaign, with the free path documented less clearly than the paid ones.
Who editGPT is for
The editor suits a writer who produces finished documents rather than messages. Three kinds of reader get the most from it. Someone with a long manuscript, a thesis chapter, a report, a book, is matched by the per-document ceiling and the Word round trip together, because moving a chapter through a browser text box and back is where a checker stops being useful. A writer who has to answer for the changes is matched by the tracked revision, since an editor or a co-author can review the same marks rather than a clean copy. Someone drafting in a second language is matched by the language dropdown and the automatic setting, which remove a configuration step that usually sits between a writer and the first edit. One thing it asks in return is a document rather than a paragraph: someone who only ever needs a sentence tightened gets everything the free allowance can do and little reason to pay for the volume the paid tiers sell.

Our verdict
The editor earns its place on the DOCX round trip. A Word file goes in, a pass runs over it, and the same file comes back carrying the tracked changes, which is a workflow a browser-based checker cannot match. Two things decide whether it fits. The first is document length, because the per-document ceiling, not the monthly total, is what moves a book-length manuscript up a tier. The second is timing, because the yearly rates carry a promotional label, and the price that survives the campaign is the one to plan against.
Not for you if the browser extension is the reason you came, because the vendor now points its own readers to the editor and describes the extension route as the less capable one.
