LanguageTool is the pick for letters in more than one language. It checks grammar, spelling and style in more than 30 languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese and Polish.

Hemingway Editor takes a different approach: it grades readability, not grammar. The free web editor at hemingwayapp.com needs no account and no card, highlights hard sentences, passive voice and adverbs, and scores the reading grade level of your letter. The desktop app, Hemingway Editor 3 for Mac and Windows, costs $19.99 as a one time purchase, works offline, exports to Word and other formats, and can publish directly to Medium and WordPress.

• The detail most buyers miss is that the $19.99 desktop app does not include any AI features.
• AI sentence rewrites, tone adjustments and grammar fixes live in Hemingway Editor Plus, a separate subscription that starts at $8.33 a month billed an
• Plus opens with a two week free trial that asks for no card details up front.
• Choose Hemingway for short, plain letters where clarity matters most.

Jasper is the most expensive tool here and the only one aimed at marketing and business teams.
