Quick take
- Highlight a sentence and get several better versions to choose from. No prompt needed.
- Works inside Gmail, Google Docs, LinkedIn and most websites through the Chrome and Edge extension.
- Free gives you 10 rewrites a day. Unlimited is $9.99 a month billed yearly.
- If you already pay for Claude or ChatGPT, you can get the same rewrites there. Wordtune is just quicker for one sentence at a time.
- Its maker, AI21 Labs, has shifted to business AI, so updates have slowed.
What is Wordtune?
Wordtune rewrites your sentences. Highlight a line in Gmail, Google Docs, LinkedIn or almost anywhere in your browser and it offers several other ways to say it: clearer, shorter, longer, more formal or more casual. You pick the one you like. It also fixes grammar and spelling, summarises articles and YouTube videos, and can make AI-written text sound more natural.
It's handy if English is your second language or you just want an email to sound a bit more polished without writing a prompt. Wordtune is made by AI21 Labs, an Israeli AI company, and runs as a Chrome or Edge extension, a web editor and an iPhone app.
The catch: the free plan stops at 10 rewrites a day, there are no refunds, and Claude or ChatGPT can do the same job if you already pay for one. AI21 Labs cut most of its staff in 2026 to focus on business AI, so don't expect many new features.
