"I cancelled my Grammarly subscription" is the kind of testimonial that gets attention, so I went straight to editGPT to see if it actually earns comparisons to Grammarly and ChatGPT combined. Here's what I found on the live site, features and pricing included.
editGPT's pitch is simple: "Proofread, edit and improve your writing with a powerful AI editor." It's positioned directly as an alternative to Grammarly, but built on top of ChatGPT-style AI editing with a track-changes interface. At the time of my review, the site displayed live usage stats of 252.6K active users, 15.4M edits generated, and 5.1K prompts created, with the homepage claiming it's "loved by 200,000+ users."
Instead of one generic "improve my writing" button, editGPT lets you choose exactly how aggressive the edit should be: Fix Grammar (~5% of text changed), Proofread (~10%), Natural (~15%), Improve (~30%), or full Rewrite (~40%). That range is genuinely useful when you want a light grammar pass versus a heavier stylistic rewrite.
editGPT shows suggested edits in a track-changes style view, so you can accept or reject each change individually rather than having your text silently rewritten.
You can import a Microsoft Word document, edit it with AI, and export it back to .docx while preserving track changes and formatting (bold, italics, etc.) — something most browser-based AI writing tools don't handle well.
editGPT supports editing in over 80 languages, with automatic language detection so you don't have to manually set it each time.
The site explicitly states your data stays private and is never used for AI training — a direct contrast it draws against tools that train on user content.
editGPT's own site lays out a feature comparison: it claims custom editing prompts, a track-changes interface, one-click formatting, full tone & style adjustments (versus Grammarly's "Limited"), multilingual support, and no-AI-training data privacy — all features it says Grammarly and/or plain ChatGPT lack or only partially offer.
Pricing is billed monthly or annually (annual saves up to 40%), across three tiers, with a "PROMO50" discount code applied automatically to the two paid plans at the time of my visit:
editGPT states prices will never increase for existing customers, and you can cancel anytime.
editGPT is aimed at writers, students, professionals, and teams who want more control over AI-assisted editing than a single Grammarly-style suggestion engine offers — particularly anyone who regularly works in Word documents and needs track changes preserved through the AI editing process, or anyone editing content in a non-English language.
According to editGPT's own comparison table, it offers custom editing prompts, a track-changes interface, one-click formatting, full tone/style adjustments, multilingual support, and a no-AI-training data policy — features it positions as advantages over Grammarly.
Yes — editGPT supports editing in over 80 languages, either by manually selecting the language or letting it auto-detect.
No — the site states your data stays private and is never shared or used for training.
Yes, editGPT allows cancellation at any time, and states that prices will never increase for existing customers.
Yes — you can import a .docx file, edit it with AI assistance, and export it back to Word format with track changes intact.
editGPT positions itself as a more customizable, privacy-conscious alternative to Grammarly, and the feature set backs that up: adjustable edit intensity, genuine track-changes Word document support, 80+ language editing, and a clear no-AI-training privacy stance. At $5/month for the Pro plan (500,000 words/month), it's a reasonable entry point for regular writers, while Elite and Business scale up for heavier or team use. If you've outgrown Grammarly's suggestion style or need real Word document round-tripping, editGPT is worth trying.
