Just purchased a Prowritingaid lifetime deal through your link. I've only been using it for five minutes, and I am already blown away and how good it is. It is much better than another one I use that I wont name here. Thanks for the video. Oh and I love KDP Rocket by the way.
This is probably just out-of-date, but Grammarly certainly works with Scrivener, including for the IOS (without opening in a separate app). If you have the Grammarly desktop app it will check any editing document (i.e Word, txt, and Scrivener), including Scrivener. This is slightly more user-friendly than the suggestion here (which I know as 4 years ago) i.e. opening the srivener file separately in ProWriter. You don't need to do that in Grammarly. Just thought I'd mention for up-to-date info. Works like a charm on Mac, anyway, and works on IOS app too if you have Grammarly keyboard.
I took the forever deal. I've been meaning to compare the two because I'd heard a few things but had not had time to dive into the process. This helped me pull the trigger to cancel my Grammarly and go with ProWritingAid. I write in Scriveners so I'm hoping this will be better than the high annual price I was paying for Grammarly. Thanks, Dave. Hope to see you at 20Books next month. :)
Dave, you just converted me from a Grammarly user to a ProWritingAid user. Easily the best video for showing the difference between the two pieces of software. Thank you! I've been using Grammarly for a year and a half and really feel that ProWritingAid would do better for what I need. I also use Scrivener, so instead of copying and pasting so Grammarly can read it, the integration with PWA is going to save me time, and not to mention a lot of money. I feel like this conversion will really help with my writing. Power to the writers!
Thank you for the review. I have had the Grammarly on free account for many years and I am about to start my PhD. I wanted to see if there were any new options out there better than Grammarly. I am amazed that the coupon still works in 2021. Althought they changed their price so now the lifetime is $240. But their yearly is $47 so I will try that. Thanks!
You don't deserve to have a PhD if you cannot understand the basics, LOL. Actually learn it instead of trying to cheat with a silly program. You simply don't deserve to be a doctor if you're still tripping on commas and basics, after a couple decades of schooling..
I have made the transition from Grammarly to ProWritingAid after trialing it for a week and loving it. I bought a two year license using your discount coupon and wow what a huge savings. Thank-you very much!!
Been a fan of PWA for a while but didn't realize about the Scrivener feature--I've been cutting and pasting into PWA and then back into Scrivener! So glad to know this--gotta try it out. Thx!
Thank you! Very helpful. Being concise means a great deal, because we feel like you are respecting our time by not filling it with blah, blah, blahs. Great video!
You got the same results that :I did when I tried both. I chose Prowritingaid both by price and by what Prowritingaid told me about my writing, which was much more detailed and to the point of my writing , than the suggestions from Grammarly. I'm glad I wasn't just choosing it because of price. Thanks for replicating my comparisons.
I am a graduate student in the middle of my final semester and I wish I'd heard of PWA earlier. I discovered Pro Writing Aid through your web blog and I am trying the 14 day trial on my mac. For my first academic paper I ran through it, I have had a great deal of improved writing through better grammar usage and removal of passive voice. After the trial is complete, I will buy a year or two using your coupon code because I feel it can improve my writing voice exponentially. :) I will also try out the Scrivener 30 day trial to see if that's something I'd be interested in. :) Thanks Kindlepreneur.
That's awesome and congrats. Gotta love the saving/price difference in them. As for Scrivener, it's only useful if one spends the time digging in and learning how to really use it...
Thanks so much for the coupon code. I bought the lifetime subscription for £192 - bargain! I recently accepted a job as a copywriter (career change) and will start next month. ProWritingAid will definitely be useful as another pair of eyes when writing copy.
I hadn't realize how much I didn't know about writing until I bought ProWritngAid last year. I used it for months on a story I've been working on for years. In that time, I learned more about the process and what I was doing wrong or should do differently. Without it, I may never have learned, having never taken a writing class. I've become a much better writer because of ProWritingAid. Con of ProWritngAid, IMO. I love the online checker. It's a much easier interface than inside Word (for me). But if you don't Save the project, which I don't really want to every time just to have it check over my doc, then things can go wrong. I've lost whole pages of edits by accidentally hitting a wrong key or something and wiping it out. The Undo sometimes works but not always. That would be my only wish for improvement of ProWritngAid. Otherwise I love it.
I have been a ProWritingAid Premium subscriber for almost a year. Although I haven't tried Grammarly Premium, I come to the same conclusion as you. There are more options and "knobs" to turn on ProWritingAid that allows you to get as deep or shallow in the pool of checks as you want. A couple comments... The ProWritingAid downloadable app (at least on PC) allows you to open not only Scrivener documents, but several other formats (including Word). This sorta makes up for the fact that they don't have a integration for Mac Word since all changes made in the downloadable app are preserved in Word. Also, one feature that I *love* in PWA is the echoes feature. A lot of times, we repeat words in close proximity to each other that makes our writing seem repetitive and for lack of a better word, uninteresting. Having a piece of software point these occurrences out (and the ability to customize how close together these flags occur) is extremely helpful! I will state that all my writing with PWA is done in the realm of fiction, and although I have been curious about Grammarly's feature set, I must say that I am more than satisfied (and have improved my writing) through the use of PWA. Thanks for the great video, Dave, and keep on doing what you're doing ;-)
Hi Dave! Thanks and that means a lot to hear. That's a great point about the downloadable app - I guess I just chocked it up for being like the online editor in that you can drop any file into it and it will do it. But then again, I forgot that unlike the online editor, saving it as the source file is much easier. In my written review I definitely discussed the Echo or Repetition feature...I've realized I'm pretty ridiculous about it. I will state, it is PERFECT for fiction writers and you aren't missing a thing with Grammarly.
One challenge I have is that the world is not just word, libreoffice, Google, and scrivener or a browser. But I do use Grammarly quite a lot and like it. Oi. Just realized this video is 4 years old.
A super concise yet thorough breakdown of the feature compares. Very nice high production value on your vid, very well done. Thanks very much for saving me loads of time running through feature comparisons. I'm heading over now to purchase the lifetime ProWritingAid with your coupon!
Awesome - yeah, I've worked to keep it up to date as much as possible. I just can't make an edit to the footage but I can keep the description up to date.
Hit a goldmine here! I am currently completing the last edit to my manuscript and was just about to purchase another writing app. So glad to have found your video! Thanks so much for the 40% discount coupon, I opted for the ProWritingAid Premium-Lifetime. Now, I have got to dig up-on how to use the app from Scrivener!
Hi Dave! I applied your coupon code and got PWA for life at such a considerable discount. Can't tell how happy I am. There's no way I can THANK YOU enough for all the knowledge and tools I now have THANKS to you. Got KDPRocket, too. Great tool!
It's 430am and I just sat down with my coffee so as to start early in creating more content...and I just read this. Totally made my morning to read. Thank you!
I tried the Grammarly premium trial and found it to be good, bordering on excellent. However, the cost is prohibitive, unless you are writing 24/7 and have a regular income from your work. For me it just isn't cost effective, and that's a shame.
I'm purchasing the lifetime subscription for ProWrite, but I will hang into Grammarly because it has the universal checker and the iOS app, both of which help me catch words I leave out when I’m writing.
Got this PWA with the discount. Thanks. But the program does (my experience) foul up formatting (scrivener ) like changing " " back. Also indents. Have to reset the rulers. For us scrivener guys I suggest making a second scene and tag it with maybe Joes Bar-pwa, then run the edited version alongside the original scrivener , I still had a couple of speeelin issues.
It’s now $239 with your coupon code....I was going to try it but that’s a bit steep....I know it’s lifetime but that’s $100 more than I was planning on. Ugh. Great video, thanks!
Thank you for your review. The main problem for me is that both are too intrusive. As a literary translator, I usually write in three languages, and both keep messing around all the time when I'm writing in my two other languages, so I can't integrate them in my system.
With regards to ProWritingAid, their privacy policy contains the following line/s: What information do we collect? User Content - This includes documents or any other content provided by you while using our website or apps. Grammarly have something similar. All I know is that some of our information is probably stored in the Ukraine. Having my original ideas harvested worries me.
@@Kindlepreneur cool but prowriting is very expensive. $1US is $1.75NZD. Prowriting free only does first 500 words not enough for my assessments whereas grammarly free allows me to check my whole assessment. Also works on all of my devices, my android phone, ipad and Windows laptop
The 40% coupon still works although the price has gone up dramatically since the posting of this video 4 yrs ago. Im appreciative of the $239 price vs $399.
I clicked on the link to check out the discount and it said the lifetime cost is now $240.00 rather than just over $100.00 as it said in the video... but I see that this was recorded about 5 years ago. It still might be worth the extra cost, but it's still disappointing to expect one price and see that the cost over doubled in just a few years.
The 40% off link still works, but they've changed the lifetime price to $299 so the 40% discount will now cost you $179 instead of $299... it saves you a LOT but that discount price is higher than they used to charge for the whole product without discount.
I would not touch Grammarly. My partner started using it for her creative writing degree and her scores for her assignments went down because of poor grammar. She stopped using Grammarly and it went back up. Equally I saw a website dedicated to grammar and they tested Grammarly. The results were so disappointing they removed their Grammarly affiliate link.
Big Blue grammarly gives you many suggestions to change the wording, but obviously if you accept and change all the suggestions you will lose score points. You need to know where and when it is appropriate to change them.
If Grammarly had a lifetime purchase... I would stick with Grammarly to be honest just because of how light and resource efficient it is. I am tempted for pro writing aid as I am a video game writer, indie, and I write upwards of... 40-80k words a month, which is hard to proof read especially when I take it out of google docs then go to grammarly and then I have to... CTRL+F the entire damn page haha. PWA has a google doc plugin which makes me moist...
I have a subscription that is about to expire on Grammarly. I would go for ProWritingAid and the lifetime deal. I have recently purchased a lifetime deal on Linguix, for the lifetime deal, and I am so dissatisfied with the abilities. Thumbs up for Lifetime deal on ProwritingAid. Wish I had subscribed to your channel last week.
Thank you for the review and the Coupon Code. I wanted to buy a lifetime deal after watching this video, but the price has gone more than double (105->239) and made me hesitant. Hmm... wonder why the price changed dramatically over 2 years and still worth it :(
I am just now seeing this video and I have been following you for quite some time and now I’m about to join so question I have is if I use pro writing aid could I use it for a ride in my biography?
I have both ProWrite and Grammarly in Word 2016 in Windows 7 and in Windows 8. While I love ProWriter for its features, I find Grammarly to be the more stable choice. ProWriter crashes whenever I ask it to "look at" more than a page of text. This renders part of its features useless. And the longer I use it, the worse it gets. A time or two, I've lost an hours' worth of work in these crashes. This makes it unusable for larger projects. I've contacted support multiple times and the techs are very nice, but the upgrade they assured me is coming hasn't shown up. It's been at least three (?) months. As I have it on both my laptop (which has Windows 8) and my PC and have the same results, I can only assume it's Word 2016 that it doesn't like as the friend who recommended it has had great luck with it. I am looking forward to the day that they work out the bugs. When ProWrite works, it's a terrific little tool.
I did not see the price for ProWriting Aid for $105 that you indicated When I went to the link, it was $269.00. Which is it? How do I access that amount for $105?
Since the video was uploaded, they have increased their prices (there is a note that I can added in the video to denote this). However, if you click the ink and if you choose lifetime, you can see the 40% is applied, and the new price is 239.40. kindlepreneur.com/pwaspecial
Three years since this video was released, do you not think it is time to re-evaluate delete this outdated video and put up a new one as both PWA and Grammarly have made big changes to both software's?
Also, Grammarly cannot open and check a long paper like a thesis; you have to edit your long document piece by piece. ProWritingAid can open and edit a long paper like a thesis.
Actually, Grammarly can do an entire 300-page book, but you have to have the ram for it. I use 32K of ram and never had a problem with my novels. On the other hand, it seems that Prowritingaid does a better job.
This was from 2 years ago. Apparently ProWritingAid got smart and went to subscription instead of lifetime subscription, and it's at $399 a year now. This is a far cry from the $105 that you mentioned in your video. You may want to update your video to remove any confusion. I know I wasn't very happy when I saw that the 40% off coupon didn't help much since the cost had risen so high. Other than that, great comparison video, thanks.
Thank you. I've just purchased a premium plus through you and it was so easy to do. Can't wait to check it out. I'm looking forward to hearing more of your You-Tubes. All the best t you.
All you have to do is, after clikcing the link, select which one you want, then on th enext page, you'll see the "Enter Coupon Code" box. Enter the coupon code and click Apply and voila.
I have written a novel. Now I need to edit it. I want to buy a new laptop for this use (and for general home use.) Do you have a recommendation for a laptop brand? Is any good quality laptop going to have what if takes to edit? I am NOT particularly computer savvy, so any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Most computers will be fine for just writing. They will all do the job. I would recommend looking at price first and also screen size. I wouldn't go less than 13" screen size because that can hurt your eyes if you're writing a lot. I always use Mac. A nice MacBook Air will work great for you. Macs are more expensive than pc because they work better, everything is built and tested by apple and updates are always free! I've been a tech for 25 years and switched to apple 10 years ago for this reason. As for pc, Dell is good. Go with what you can afford and since you are just writing, you don't need the fastest machine.
Two great videos! Question-- Which one would you choose for your children if one child is a junior in High School for his advanced English class with Chrome book, and a Junior in college with a MacBook Pro? Our house has a Dell, Windows 10... Let me know. TY for your clear videos!
I gave my daughter ProWritingAid while she was a senior in college, which she is using while at college. She has a MacBook Pro but with the interoperability, it works on both computer types.
Been waiting for this. Thanks, Dave. I will definitely tweet this out to my followers. I like the lifetime plan, too. P.S. As a naval officer, you're no stranger to commissions....ha ha. A little jarhead humor.
Which one are you asking about? As for canceling, contact and ask. I didn't do the process of cancelling either so I can't say..I just let my subscription of Grammarly run out.
Thank you for doing a review that addressed different features, showed how each functioned, discussed usability in various applications, etc. I found it comprehensive and felt I could make an informed choice (something really important to me). I wish you did reviews of other software options. That I would follow.
I've been doing a couple of those actually. However, as you know, its a LOT of work. I've got to get both sets of software, try them out for a long period of time and do a lot of research. But as I come across them, I'll keep it up. Thanks!
Hi, I am planning to opt for 14 days of free trial before I buy from your link. This would help me to get a feel of it. However, I am unable to install it- MS word Add-on and at chrome. Could you please assist? Would appreciate your help.
I have prowriting aid and hope someone can please instruct me, how to turn on prowriting aid to check as I'm writing like Grammerly does. The only thing I can do is check the document after I've finished. Is there a way to check as I'm writing in Microsoft word? Thanks!
If you've downloaded the different integrations, you should be fine. There are a couple (just like grammarly): Chrome browser plugin, Word Document plugin (only for PC Word not Mac - just like Grammarly). Those two are the ones that really integrate without having to upload download.
Kindlepreneur but it doesn't check as I'm writing. I have to go up to the top bar and manually have it check the document. I want it to be like grammerly and make highlights and suggestions as I'm writing
Thank you, Dave. Link discount worked like a charm today. It did take 2 tries (probably my wifi) but worked on Lifetime subscription. Cheers! P.S. Loving Publisher Rocket.
@@Kindlepreneur Ok purchased prowriting aid for lifetime at 40% discount. The coupon was good as of 10/31/2018. Played with it and have used Grammarly. I agree with the poster's analysis just after 10-15 mins... Way better feedback and analysis.
@@KindlepreneurThanks. Sorry if it's a silly question, I figured it did, but didn't know for sure. I did order the Prewritingaid with your code today. Your video was a big help.
For anyone using prowritingaid, do you know how to change settings so that it doesn't recommend sentences from the first person. Im writing an academic essay that needs to be written from a third person's perspective and its every irritating having prowritingaid recommend differently
Gene Duplantier clicking the link in the description of this video will take you to a page that says 40%. However upon clicking that button, it will take you to their pricing. Looks like because they have a Cyber deal going on right now, it supersedes the discount they gave me. So you can either take advantage of their current deal (25% 1 year, 30% 2 year, 40% 3 year or 50% off lifetime) or wait till after the holiday and take advantage of that 40% off on all.
Kindlepreneur Thank you! I want to buy it, but with your coupon price is much better. Thank you for replying that fast. You have a great channel and I will definitely subscribe.
Just purchased a Prowritingaid lifetime deal through your link. I've only been using it for five minutes, and I am already blown away and how good it is. It is much better than another one I use that I wont name here. Thanks for the video. Oh and I love KDP Rocket by the way.

I cannot find the lifetime offer of $105. When I click your link, there is only one for $239 ($399 minus 40%). Where is the $105 offer?
They increased their prices since the video was made but the 40% off still works.
It’s now $239 with your coupon code....I was going to try it but that’s a bit steep....I know it’s lifetime but that’s $100 more than I was planning on. Ugh. Great video, thanks!
Ah, no worries, and understandable. Thanks!
Thank you for your review. The main problem for me is that both are too intrusive. As a literary translator, I usually write in three languages, and both keep messing around all the time when I'm writing in my two other languages, so I can't integrate them in my system.
With regards to ProWritingAid, their privacy policy contains the
following line/s:
What information do we collect?
User Content - This includes documents or any other content provided by
you while using our website or apps. Grammarly have something similar.
All I know is that some of our information is probably stored in the
Ukraine.
Having my original ideas harvested worries me.
Which is better for academic assessments. Also can prowriting aid be used for UK spelling and changeable to NZ English
I prefer PWA for academic and yes, it does UK...not sure about NZ though.
@@Kindlepreneur cool but prowriting is very expensive. $1US is $1.75NZD. Prowriting free only does first 500 words not enough for my assessments whereas grammarly free allows me to check my whole assessment. Also works on all of my devices, my android phone, ipad and Windows laptop
The 40% coupon still works although the price has gone up dramatically since the posting of this video 4 yrs ago. Im appreciative of the $239 price vs $399.
Great video appreciated the comparison and the discount offered. Thank you!
I clicked on the link to check out the discount and it said the lifetime cost is now $240.00 rather than just over $100.00 as it said in the video... but I see that this was recorded about 5 years ago. It still might be worth the extra cost, but it's still disappointing to expect one price and see that the cost over doubled in just a few years.
The Grammarly can be used with Google Doc (I use it all the time)
Aviva Ainbinder it’s a beta right now
The 40% off link still works, but they've changed the lifetime price to $299 so the 40% discount will now cost you $179 instead of $299... it saves you a LOT but that discount price is higher than they used to charge for the whole product without discount.
Yup - bummer part is that YT won't let you edit a section of a video...something I hope they remedy later.
I would not touch Grammarly. My partner started using it for her creative writing degree and her scores for her assignments went down because of poor grammar. She stopped using Grammarly and it went back up.
Equally I saw a website dedicated to grammar and they tested Grammarly. The results were so disappointing they removed their Grammarly affiliate link.
Big Blue grammarly gives you many suggestions to change the wording, but obviously if you accept and change all the suggestions you will lose score points. You need to know where and when it is appropriate to change them.
If Grammarly had a lifetime purchase... I would stick with Grammarly to be honest just because of how light and resource efficient it is. I am tempted for pro writing aid as I am a video game writer, indie, and I write upwards of... 40-80k words a month, which is hard to proof read especially when I take it out of google docs then go to grammarly and then I have to... CTRL+F the entire damn page haha. PWA has a google doc plugin which makes me moist...
Is this safe as it ask for credit card no
I have a subscription that is about to expire on Grammarly. I would go for ProWritingAid and the lifetime deal. I have recently purchased a lifetime deal on Linguix, for the lifetime deal, and I am so dissatisfied with the abilities. Thumbs up for Lifetime deal on ProwritingAid. Wish I had subscribed to your channel last week.
Ah, well glad you're here now :)
Thank you Dave. Most awaited video.
Nice T-shirt.
Thanks! Was the format better than the last?
Yes, Awesome mate.
Boom! Awesome - and no music this time...haha.
Thank you for the review and the Coupon Code. I wanted to buy a lifetime deal after watching this video, but the price has gone more than double (105->239) and made me hesitant. Hmm... wonder why the price changed dramatically over 2 years and still worth it :(
Yeah, they've expanded a bit since.
@@Kindlepreneur Does your luck include the plagiarism report?
I am just now seeing this video and I have been following you for quite some time and now I’m about to join so question I have is if I use pro writing aid could I use it for a ride in my biography?
Grammarly also allows you to change the tone of your paper in the web version ie... business, causal, formal.
Yes, something they've added, but still not at the level of ProWritingAid
I have both ProWrite and Grammarly in Word 2016 in Windows 7 and in Windows 8. While I love ProWriter for its features, I find Grammarly to be the more stable choice. ProWriter crashes whenever I ask it to "look at" more than a page of text. This renders part of its features useless. And the longer I use it, the worse it gets. A time or two, I've lost an hours' worth of work in these crashes. This makes it unusable for larger projects.
I've contacted support multiple times and the techs are very nice, but the upgrade they assured me is coming hasn't shown up. It's been at least three (?) months.
As I have it on both my laptop (which has Windows 8) and my PC and have the same results, I can only assume it's Word 2016 that it doesn't like as the friend who recommended it has had great luck with it.
I am looking forward to the day that they work out the bugs. When ProWrite works, it's a terrific little tool.
does prowritingaid help improve writing like passive voice?
I did not see the price for ProWriting Aid for $105 that you indicated When I went to the link, it was $269.00. Which is it? How do I access that amount for $105?
Since the video was uploaded, they have increased their prices (there is a note that I can added in the video to denote this). However, if you click the ink and if you choose lifetime, you can see the 40% is applied, and the new price is 239.40. kindlepreneur.com/pwaspecial
I subbed because I was able to listen to your whole video without getting bored.
Awesome - that's great to hear and glad you liked it.
Three years since this video was released, do you not think it is time to re-evaluate delete this outdated video and put up a new one as both PWA and Grammarly have made big changes to both software's?
Is this still relevant with Chatbot? Please help
Good news. ProWritingAid just added the integration with word for Mac users. So excited!
Awesome!
Also, Grammarly cannot open and check a long paper like a thesis; you have to edit your long document piece by piece. ProWritingAid can open and edit a long paper like a thesis.
Actually, Grammarly can do an entire 300-page book, but you have to have the ram for it. I use 32K of ram and never had a problem with my novels. On the other hand, it seems that Prowritingaid does a better job.
This information was so helpful - thankyou for your generosity.
Glad you liked it :)
Is this coupon still available?
This was from 2 years ago. Apparently ProWritingAid got smart and went to subscription instead of lifetime subscription, and it's at $399 a year now. This is a far cry from the $105 that you mentioned in your video. You may want to update your video to remove any confusion. I know I wasn't very happy when I saw that the 40% off coupon didn't help much since the cost had risen so high. Other than that, great comparison video, thanks.
While they did raise their price, the amount you refer to is their Lifetime. Not annual.
Thanks for the comparison --exactly what I was looking for. So helpful!
Awesome and glad you liked it!

Thank you for this, your review was extremely informative.
Awesome and glad to have helped!
Thank you. I've just purchased a premium plus through you and it was so easy to do. Can't wait to check it out. I'm looking forward to hearing more of your You-Tubes. All the best t you.
Awesome and enjoy!

Pro writing aid has doubled in price for the yearly subscription since you posted this.
True
Hello, I'm trying to use the promotion code but it's not working. PWA40? has this expired?
It's not the code of PWA40. It's the link. You need to click the link and purchase on that special page: kindlepreneur.com/PWA40
I don't see the discount. It still says $60 for annual and $210 for lifetime> is there a updated link or code
All you have to do is, after clikcing the link, select which one you want, then on th enext page, you'll see the "Enter Coupon Code" box. Enter the coupon code and click Apply and voila.
I have written a novel. Now I need to edit it. I want to buy a new laptop for this use (and for general home use.)
Do you have a recommendation for a laptop brand? Is any good quality laptop going to have what if takes to edit? I am NOT particularly computer savvy, so any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Can't say I have a computer brand recommendation. Most computers should be able to run these sorts of programs with ease.
Most computers will be fine for just writing. They will all do the job. I would recommend looking at price first and also screen size. I wouldn't go less than 13" screen size because that can hurt your eyes if you're writing a lot. I always use Mac. A nice MacBook Air will work great for you. Macs are more expensive than pc because they work better, everything is built and tested by apple and updates are always free! I've been a tech for 25 years and switched to apple 10 years ago for this reason. As for pc, Dell is good. Go with what you can afford and since you are just writing, you don't need the fastest machine.
Whether this was or wasn't a paid Ad doesn't really matter because I gotta say it felt like it.
He admits it was. But even still, his review is fairly honest.
Two great videos! Question-- Which one would you choose for your children if one child is a junior in High School for his advanced English class with Chrome book, and a Junior in college with a MacBook Pro? Our house has a Dell, Windows 10... Let me know. TY for your clear videos!
I gave my daughter ProWritingAid while she was a senior in college, which she is using while at college. She has a MacBook Pro but with the interoperability, it works on both computer types.
Been waiting for this. Thanks, Dave. I will definitely tweet this out to my followers. I like the lifetime plan, too. P.S. As a naval officer, you're no stranger to commissions....ha ha. A little jarhead humor.
Haha...did you like that cup of joe picture? haha.
In my experience, ProWritingAid is better, but the price settles any dispute. Thanks for the coupon!
Agreed and enjoy that discount!
Hi Kindlepreneur, can I use it both on my desktop and mobile at the same time?
I can't see why not.
You can select the type of writing with Grammarly too
And I got Grammarly for $49. I got it for a year.
Thanks how does the subscription work can you cancel after using it within a week?
Which one are you asking about? As for canceling, contact and ask. I didn't do the process of cancelling either so I can't say..I just let my subscription of Grammarly run out.

Thank you for doing a review that addressed different features, showed how each functioned, discussed usability in various applications, etc. I found it comprehensive and felt I could make an informed choice (something really important to me). I wish you did reviews of other software options. That I would follow.
I've been doing a couple of those actually. However, as you know, its a LOT of work. I've got to get both sets of software, try them out for a long period of time and do a lot of research. But as I come across them, I'll keep it up. Thanks!
Does the coupon code still work for prowritingaid? Thanks
Yes it does.
How many devices can use one Prowritingaid account?
I'm not sure. But I have it on my laptop, and desktop.
@@Kindlepreneur Okay thanks!
HI Kindleprenuer, can I use Prowritingaid in my Cellphone?
I'm not sure...I haven't tried using it there.
Can i upgrade to PWA+plagiarism package with your coupon?
I don’t think so
Can I get 40% discount code for the premium plus version?
Yes, you can get it on the Premium.
Good work! Liked and subscribed!
Can you use the prowritingaid (lifetime premium) on multiple devices? If so, what’s the maximum no. of devices?
I have but not sure on how many. You might want to ask them.

Great review, thanks. The link is still active and made the purchase. Cheers
Awesome and enjoy!
Very useful, like any info you share. Thanks a lot, Dave.
Thanks and glad to help!

Hi, I am planning to opt for 14 days of free trial before I buy from your link. This would help me to get a feel of it. However, I am unable to install it- MS word Add-on and at chrome. Could you please assist? Would appreciate your help.
Hi Nikita, not sure which one you're looking at trying, but both have excellent support than can answer that particular question with cerrtainty.
I have prowriting aid and hope someone can please instruct me, how to turn on prowriting aid to check as I'm writing like Grammerly does. The only thing I can do is check the document after I've finished. Is there a way to check as I'm writing in Microsoft word? Thanks!
If you've downloaded the different integrations, you should be fine. There are a couple (just like grammarly): Chrome browser plugin, Word Document plugin (only for PC Word not Mac - just like Grammarly). Those two are the ones that really integrate without having to upload download.
Kindlepreneur but it doesn't check as I'm writing. I have to go up to the top bar and manually have it check the document. I want it to be like grammerly and make highlights and suggestions as I'm writing
As of 8/20/2020 Grammarly has a Google Docs Beta integration. It works fine.
This here is an example of competition causing the ole dog to update. Love it!
Priced went up? After applying the discount coupon, it came to $126 for a lifetime versus $105 mentioned in the video.
Yeah, after Jan 1 they increased the price.
@Karem Ortiz It should...I haven't heard of any move to get rid of it.
Hi, I used your discount affiliate link, and it worked.. Just a price base was already different from the year ago. Thank you.
Awesome - yeah, they changed the prices recently but luckily kept the discount. :)
Thank you, Dave.
Link discount worked like a charm today.
It did take 2 tries (probably my wifi) but worked on Lifetime subscription. Cheers!
P.S. Loving Publisher Rocket.
That's awesome and glad to hear it!
Excellent review. Almost clicked Buy now on grammarly but saw scrivener integration!!!! Thanks!!!!!!
Awesome and glad you liked it!
@@Kindlepreneur Ok purchased prowriting aid for lifetime at 40% discount. The coupon was good as of 10/31/2018. Played with it and have used Grammarly. I agree with the poster's analysis just after 10-15 mins... Way better feedback and analysis.
Thank you for time and input.
Your coupon code still works, mate. Thank you!
Awesome!
Not working anymore 😔

I thought it was going to be Grammarly for me. I think because I see it more advertised, but after watching you Prowriting it will be. Thank you.
Yeah, you can't beat that pricing
Will Prowritingaid work with MS- 365?
Yup
@@KindlepreneurThanks. Sorry if it's a silly question, I figured it did, but didn't know for sure. I did order the Prewritingaid with your code today. Your video was a big help.
No, no worries and enjoy!

For anyone using prowritingaid, do you know how to change settings so that it doesn't recommend sentences from the first person. Im writing an academic essay that needs to be written from a third person's perspective and its every irritating having prowritingaid recommend differently
facebook.com/editguruu
The 40% discount is not working. Do you have another?
Gene Duplantier clicking the link in the description of this video will take you to a page that says 40%. However upon clicking that button, it will take you to their pricing. Looks like because they have a Cyber deal going on right now, it supersedes the discount they gave me. So you can either take advantage of their current deal (25% 1 year, 30% 2 year, 40% 3 year or 50% off lifetime) or wait till after the holiday and take advantage of that 40% off on all.
Kindlepreneur Hi! Do you think we will be able to use your 40% off coupon tomorrow?
Guzal Kasimova I’ll be checking tomorrow and if not I’ll contact them.
Kindlepreneur Thank you! I want to buy it, but with your coupon price is much better.
Thank you for replying that fast. You have a great channel and I will definitely subscribe.
@@guzalkasimova8206 Thanks and that really means a lot to hear.
