Thanks. Finally, an honest and thorough review! I've had Grammarly Premium for an entire year, and the only thing it catches are commas. Everything I write has a score of 99, which is impossible because I'm in desperate need of the grammar police, and I know it.
I found the same results with Grammarly. Been using PWA for a good while now and I'm seriously digging it. It has improved my writing a great deal!
Now, not only do I rite good, I speek good two! ;-)
David Badurina You are two funny.
I figured tools like this existed but I never really investigated anything about them. Pro Writing Aid sounds like the perfect tool for someone like me who is not writing in her native language :D
Awesome! So glad this helped! It's a great program and I use it constantly!
The best, most useful comparrison i've found! Thank you! (He said suddenly and vigourously).
Thanks for this video! I've been spammed with Grammarly ads lately from looking at writing videos on youtube and it's good to know there is not only an alternative but a better alternative.
Grammarly is really good at their advertising! I'm so glad it helped!
Thank you for the review, I have been using PWA for a few weeks now, I am loving it. People keep saying why don't you try Grammarly, I was considering it. As a writer, we can never have enough help in adventures. After watching your video, I am so happy and content that I chose PWA. Thank you for verifying my decision as a smart valid choice.
Thank you for the video. As an international English learner, your video really helps me to pick the better app. First 👍, Yeah!
So glad to hear that, thank you!
You helped me make my decision
Thanks. just bought Pro Writer this morning and wondered if it was the best choice. Now I am convinced. All the best with your channel.
Thanks! And thank you for stopping by and checking it out! Happy Writing!!
You've earned a subscriber! Thank you for the in-depth, honest review of both products. I was a little wary of ProWritingAid at first, but honestly, I think I'm going to get it for Christmas. I also love how you added in humor in your review. Wonderfully (ADVERB!!!) done video :)
Thanks. Nice straightforward comparison. I've been using both the free versions and was looking for a little more input before I buy. Good review.
Thank you Lucinda! Big fan of PWA after doing the same thing!
Thank you for your unfiltered advice
You are so welcome
Thanks to you and CS Joseph I’m writing again. And, started my first novel. I was born to write. Maybe all INFJs should be writers. I just hate writing things that don’t interest me and that is a problem if someone is paying you to write.
Glad you are writing again! Woohoo! And starting the first novel is excellent! There are an abundance of INFJ writers, we're good in our heads and with those words and often the world we are in is very real to us. Sadly, all of the OTHER INFJ traits come into play too - feeling insecure, imposter syndrome, all that nonsense. Just keep moving forward on it. And I hear you on the "Writing uninteresting things" - that can be a drag just like any uninteresting job for an INFJ can be a drag too. If you do end up writing articles for cash about such topics like "The Emotional Magnitude of Granite" or "How to Crochet Doilies - The Unabridged Version", just remember that somewhere you are making SOMEONE happy. ;-)
David, I’m still laughing and will be for awhile. I actually wrote a report on the the emotional magnitude of granite for the federal government. I was told it was tripe and to rewrite it from scratch as any good government scribe would do.
Go, Grammarly, Go!
Nope lol. Not a fan!
What?
Wonderful video, thank you for your service. Love the hands puppets...
Thanks so much, glad if it helps! :-)
I don't use either of these but write and revise letters that I send via " Snail mail " endlessly until the words flow and my thoughts are put onto paper so that the reader can feel , see , taste and smell what I am experiencing .
It takes time and is SLOW .
I've 4 books in my head that have never been written because it's such a daunting task .... do you have any words of wisdom for me ?
This is a serious request as you are so far past my pathetic attempts !
You ROCK in my book !
Many thanks ,
Carol E. - Brooks Equine.
Hi Carol! Thanks for the compliment! And yes I imagine that is a slow process! As for advice .. what works for me is a little bit of planning, and a little bit of free play.
If you have a character in mind that you'd like to write - describe them. Then write some quotations down, things you know they would say, that really does speak to who they are. Do that with a couple of characters in the story. Nothing fancy. A few lines. Then write a scene with two of them together, arguing over something, or sharing something about themselves.
Then maybe a little bit of planning - the story takes place in XYZ locations, a little bit about those. The plot centers around ABC, etc. Before you know it, you've got a loose map of the story, some characters ready to speak to you, and maybe just maybe you'll be able to get it down on the page! :-)
You did such an amazing job very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
great video thanks. subbed. extra point for guitar on the wall.
All about the extra credit! Thank you!
Been using ProWritingAid for a while.. definitely prefer it to Grammarly
Absolutely!
I just got a Grammarly ad before this video lol
Haha I'm not mad about it. Maybe it made me 3 cents! :-)
Hey David, I'm considering purchasing a Pro Writing Aid Premium and sticking to Grammarly free version. I figure there's no need to subscribing to Grammarly. Consistent with that, I intend to use both platforms. Two questions: should I start revising with Grammarly first and PWA second? Do both platforms function well for revising the same text? Thanks a bunch for the great work,,, My 7-old son had a real blast with the puppets' performance at the end of the video. Regards from Brazil!
IM writting tis widh Gramarlty, is veri much gud.
Me two! It meaks me wurd gud!

Thanks for the comparison!
Very welcome!
Thank you man!
Thanks!!
Welcome!
Hi! That you for your informative video! I have watched scores of writing videos and I have a question. However a bit of context: I write in both Portuguese and English and these two languages have quite different literary traditions. In English, the writer pursues readability and direct action, with the rule of show not tell. In Portuguese, it’s the opposite. Complex sentences are filled with adverbs and with passive action. As a consequence, since I tend to write Portuguese in an English style, I’m not considered a literary writer in Portugal. My question is: why not adverbs? They modify the verb beautifully and give depth to the sentence. Please,someone explain to me this particular issue. Thank you!
Good job
Thanks!
good stuff. Thank you
Thank you for watching, hope it helped!
thanks a lot hopefully prowriting will help my thesis!
Grammarly DOESNT have a Black Friday sale. They only advertise that "ITS
BLACK FRIDAY" LOLLL... but no discount. its just a regular ole sign up.
So choose wisely !
Thanks for the review. I use the free gammerly to catch those pesky commas, and it will catch spelling errors like were/we're, yea i make that mistake, I use prowritingaid premium from there I out.
Good tip! I do it all with PWA but only because I don't like bouncing back and forth. Most of my writing is more long-form, so it's the best tool for the job.
Not meaning to knock on already made it writers but, Twilight & 50 shades series were beyond riddled with all these flaws we 're trying to cleanup. And it's befuddling when you realize their books also passed through the hands of professional publishing house editors.
Does this mean we are overthinking it or are these just outliers?
Probably a little bit of both.
I love ending
I like Pro Writing Aid myself so this is...really....a nice affirmation of my choice.
Also....you never were one for comma usage Sensei, where I totally over-use them.
Luckily....whatevs. ;)
Now I just use them to feel cooler.
Thank you for this video. I will be going from Grammarly to ProWritingAid. I'm typing this on my ogine via Grammarly keyboard.
You're very welcome!
I've been using Prowritingaid for about a month and my writing has improved. It's like a checker and writing coach in one. I do find some odd things with the program. Sometimes it will call out words and offer bizarre spellings. For example it tried to suggest 'Haven't you' as 'have n'tyou' Also the wordcloud plugin was not created by them and they don't support it. It does not not save images forcing you to copy it into something else like photoshop. It is a computer program and has no real knowledge of language and nuance. Lastly, it does have a word limit. Anything over 10000 words the plugin starts to hang and not work properly. I found it easier to chop my novel into chapters (roughly 2500-5000 words) and it has not had a problem since. I do love this program and it has made editing so easy. I use a basic strategy of what to run first like fixing Sticky sentences. Then overused words, close duplicates etc. There are SO many reports in the program that have to figure out your own workflow. Now I can edit a chapter in a few hours.
Absolutely right (on all counts!). I usually throw down chapters of about 3K words so I haven't had a word limit issue though it can hang up on the summary page from time to time. And absolutely - I do a grammar check first, then go to style, sticky, etc., then a last grammar check. It really is a great tool. Glad to hear!
I was considering getting Grammarly since my native language is German but using English for writing feels better somehow. Fact is I can’t really write anything in English because I’m nowhere near good enough and I can’t really write anything in German either because it just feels wrong to do so...
Anyway. Thank you for this video. I didn’t even know there was any service that’s like Grammarly. And ProWritingAid does sound a whole lot better. Now I’m gonna go and sell a kidney so I can afford it lol
Not sure what PWA pricing is nowadays but definitely worth digging into. I've gotten a lot of mileage out of it!
Should the first piece be “The screen door creaked as Sam stepped out from the house...”
There's two "U" in guud.😬
lol DAMMIT!
How do you find the coupons for the price I have been using pro writing aid I really want the lifetime thing but it’s asking for 200 or 300 dollars? It’s on sale now but it’s still a lot of money ☹️
I've used grammarly for a year and due to costs will switch to Pro Writing Aid but I have to say that grammarly was all about the adverbs also. I've hear grammarly free version is better but the premium version Pro Writing Aid wins.
PWA was vastly better in all of my edits, truly. Especially for fiction writing but I imagine for more academic work as well. Good luck!
I'm student and I usually write research papers and essay. So in this case what would suggest me Grammarly or ProWriting Aid ??
PWA is by far the better tool, and you can adjust it to work for more technical papers, or to analyze your writing if it's creative. Great option to test out.
I have watched this review 3 times in 6 months, it is that good.
What do you think about pro-writing-aid for non fiction or graduate level papers?
Is this system an improvement over Grammarly in this area?
Neither of these will function offline. Can your reccomend a writing aid that does not require an internet connection and does not download your work to someone else's computer? Thanks.
This was a (warning adverb) brilliantly informative video - thanks. Really enjoyed the puppet show at the end - genius and very entertaining. Is the discount code you used for the prowritingaid lifetime access still available?
Glad you enjoyed it! Not sure about the code but I'm certain other ones are floating around out there. It's a great tool!
where did you find the lifetime coupon for pro writing? I want one.
I don't recall that one! It was awhile ago. Definitely hunt around online for it!
I got the same lifetime deal. Just get on their list and you'll eventually get a great offer. 😊
Do you still think this is true for scientific/non-fiction writing?
Which one these both should I use if i want to write a fiction novel??
p.s: I'm an INFJ too
Hi Rohan - definitely Pro Writing Aid. I've found that using it has improved my writing!
@@DavidBadurina Thanks😄
Which one is the best for a master's thesis in the field engineering?
I'm a big fan of PWA myself. I think it's good for anything, even technical writing though engineering is not in my background.
How about in the field of scientific master?
Which do you think helps more with punctuation?
If you're just worried about basic punctuation/grammar, Grammarly isn't a poor option. For a more thorough dive into the words, diction and style, PWA is far superior.
Can these aids be used with Apple products
I don't know if they're a separate app, but I do all of my writing on a Mac - they're web-based.
Are you comparing with Grammarly pro?
Nope, just whatever I had to compare with, without spending any cash on it.
Is it true that pro writing gives you your own writing platform?? So you no longer need to use Microsoft Word??
You can save documents and such, but I would not use it for writing/saving. There's no formatting options and things like that. I wouldn't consider it a writing platform. I use it to paste in from other documents, then paste back into their original (saved/backed up) locations.
How many devices can use one Prowritingaid account?
what kindly of englisk in the commenting section :v
Doewp evalyulenayshun ,
Your welcome! (see what I did there?)
