What TextCortex does well
6,518 ranking keywords across a broad browser-extension toolkit.
Where it falls short
Spread thin, with no standout component.
The verdict
Convenient if you want one extension. Not the best version of anything it does.
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.
TextCortex alternatives are Copy.ai, Wordtune, Smodin 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.
