FAQs

Why is Hemingway Editor Plus a subscription?

Hemingway Editor Plus leverages cloud-based AI to make improvements to your writing. Running this AI technology incurs ongoing costs, so a subscription is needed.

You receive a monthly quota of AI sentences. Each AI rewrite (sentence or paragraph) consumes one credit per sentence. Grammar fixes are unlimited and do not use credits.
