What LanguageTool does well
Open-source, self-hostable and multilingual, which is why privacy-conscious teams pick it.
Where it falls short
Grammar and style only, no AI detection, no humanizing, no voice measurement.
The verdict
The right choice if you want correctness without sending text to a proprietary service.
Where TextAsMe differs
Every tool above returns a score or a rewrite and stops. TextAsMe marks each sentence, names the signal that fired on it, metronome rhythm, low perplexity, dead metaphor, stock transition, no concrete detail, and rewrites toward a measurement of your own writing rather than a generic human average. The writing analysis and your Style DNA run in your browser, and the text you check for a real AI score is never stored.
LanguageTool alternatives are Grammarly, ProWritingAid, QuillBot and TextAsMe.
TextAsMe scans for free with no account and no word cap, showing every flagged sentence and why. The studio and humanizer are paid, $9 a month (Starter), $18.50 (Pro) or $50 (Elite), half price billed yearly. QuillBot also has a free tier.
Free; Premium about $5/mo annually. Prices were read from vendor pricing pages in September 2026 and change often, check before you subscribe.
