Spending hours trying to find the right words for your donor appeals, grant proposals, or social media posts? Wordtune helps you express your ideas clearly and compellingly—offering instant rewriting suggestions, tone adjustments, and content summarization so your small team can create professional communications with confidence. Whether you're a non-native English speaker or simply want to refine your message, Wordtune makes every word count.
What It Does
Ever stare at a grant proposal draft knowing it's almost right, but not quite compelling enough? Or struggle to find the perfect phrasing for a sensitive donor communication? Wordtune is your AI-powered writing partner that instantly shows you better ways to express your ideas.

It's like having an experienced editor looking over your shoulder, offering suggestions in real-time across Gmail, Google Docs, LinkedIn, and anywhere else you write online.
Whether you need to sound more formal for a foundation board, more casual for social media, or simply want to express complex program outcomes in plain language, Wordtune gives you options—you choose the voice that feels authentically you.

How This Tool Uses AI
Wordtune uses large language models (similar to GPT) trained on billions of text examples to understand context and suggest better ways to express ideas. Here's what's actually AI-powered versus standard features:
What's Actually AI-Powered
🤖 Sentence Rewriting with Context Awareness
Type of AI: Natural language processing (NLP) and generative AI trained on diverse writing samples.
What it does: Analyzes the meaning and context of your sentence, then generates multiple alternative phrasings that preserve your intent while improving clarity, tone, or impact.
How it learns: Pre-trained on billions of sentences from books, articles, and web content. Doesn't learn from your individual writing (your data isn't used to train the model for others).
Practical impact: Instead of just fixing grammar, Wordtune shows you 3-5 ways to express the same idea—some more formal, some clearer, some more compelling. You choose the version that fits your voice.
🤖 Tone Detection and Adjustment
Type of AI: Sentiment analysis and stylistic transformation models.
What it does: Detects the current tone of your writing (formal, casual, neutral) and rewrites it to match your desired tone while keeping the core message intact.
How it learns: Trained on examples of formal vs. casual writing across different contexts (business, academic, conversational).
Practical impact: Write a grant proposal in casual language, then click "Formal" to transform it into professional grant-speak. Or take a stiff board report and make it accessible for a newsletter.
🤖 Content Summarization
Type of AI: Extractive and abstractive summarization models.
What it does: Reads long documents, articles, or videos and generates concise summaries highlighting key points, main arguments, and important details.
How it learns: Pre-trained on millions of document-summary pairs to learn what information is most important to extract.
Practical impact: Paste a 20-page research report, get a 3-paragraph summary in 10 seconds. Summarize a 45-minute YouTube webinar to quickly see if it's worth watching.
🤖 AI Writing Assistant (Completion & Elaboration)
Type of AI: Generative language model (similar to GPT autocomplete).
What it does: Predicts what you might want to say next based on context, or expands brief notes into full sentences and paragraphs.
How it learns: Trained on massive text datasets to understand sentence structure and logical flow.
Practical impact: Start typing "Our program served..." and Wordtune suggests completions. Or write "Impact: helped 200 families" and ask AI to elaborate it into a full impact paragraph.
What's NOT AI (But Still Useful)
- Grammar & Spelling:Rule-based grammar checking (like spellcheck), not AI-driven
- Browser Extension:Standard software integration, not AI functionality
- Copy/Paste:Moving text between apps is basic software, not AI
AI Transparency & Limitations
⚠️ AI Suggestions Require Human Judgment: Wordtune generates plausible-sounding alternatives, but they may not always be accurate, appropriate, or authentically your voice. Always read and evaluate suggestions before accepting them. The AI doesn't understand your organization's mission, culture, or specific context.
⚠️ Fact-Checking Still Required: While Wordtune's Spices feature claims to check 5+ sources, always verify statistics, dates, and factual claims independently—especially for grant proposals and official communications.
⚠️ Limited Understanding of Nonprofit Terminology: The AI is trained on general writing, not nonprofit-specific jargon. It might suggest rewrites that sound professional but lose sector-specific meaning (e.g., changing "capacity building" to something generic).
⚠️ No Plagiarism Detection: Unlike Grammarly, Wordtune doesn't check if rewritten content is too similar to existing sources. If you're paraphrasing research or grant language from others, verify originality separately.
🔒 Data Privacy: Your writing is sent to Wordtune's servers for AI processing. Wordtune states that your content is NOT used to train models for other users, and data is encrypted. However, never input confidential donor information, private financial data, or sensitive program details into Wordtune (or any cloud-based tool) without understanding your organization's data policies.
When AI Adds Real Value vs. When It's Just Marketing
✅ Genuinely Useful AI:
- • Rewriting sentences 3-5 different ways (would take 5+ minutes manually)
- • Summarizing 20-page PDFs in 10 seconds (would take 30+ minutes to read)
- • Adjusting tone across an entire document (would take hours of manual editing)
- • Helping non-native speakers write natural English (priceless for multilingual teams)
⚠️ AI That's Nice But Not Essential:
- • Grammar and spelling checks (standard spellcheck does this fine)
- • Synonym suggestions (a thesaurus works too, just slower)
❌ AI You Don't Need:
- • If you're a confident native English writer with plenty of time, basic grammar tools might suffice
- • If you only write a few emails per week, the free tier's 10 daily rewrites may be enough
Bottom Line: Wordtune's AI genuinely saves time and improves writing quality, especially for rewriting, tone adjustment, and summarization. It's not using AI just for marketing buzz—these features would be impossible without machine learning. For small nonprofit teams writing grants, emails, and communications daily, the AI productivity boost is real and measurable.
Real-World Nonprofit Use Case
Before & After: Grant Proposal Refinement
A small environmental nonprofit with a one-person development team
The Challenge
The Development Director writes 15-20 grant proposals per year while also managing donor relations and events. English is her second language, and she often spends hours agonizing over phrasing to ensure proposals sound professional and compelling. A major foundation grant deadline is in 3 days.
How Wordtune Helped
- Tone Adjustment: She wrote the program narrative in her natural voice, then used Wordtune's "Formal" tone to transform it into grant-appropriate language—saving 2 hours of manual editing.
- Rewriting for Clarity: Complex sentences about watershed management were confusing. Wordtune offered simpler alternatives that maintained technical accuracy while being accessible to non-expert grant reviewers.
- Executive Summary: Used Wordtune's summarization feature to condense the full 8-page narrative into a compelling 1-paragraph summary for the cover letter.
- Confidence Boost: For phrases that felt awkward in English, she highlighted them and reviewed Wordtune's alternatives—giving her options written by "native speakers."
The Results
- Completed the proposal in 6 hours instead of 10+, meeting the deadline with time to spare
- Submitted with greater confidence in the writing quality
- Won the $75,000 grant—reviewers noted the "clear, compelling narrative"
- Now uses Wordtune for all donor communications, board reports, and social media—saving 3-4 hours per week
"Wordtune changed how I work. I used to spend so much time second-guessing my phrasing because English isn't my first language. Now I write naturally and let Wordtune show me polished alternatives. It's like having a native English speaker reviewing everything I write—instantly. The $13/month cost pays for itself in the first week."
— Development Director, Environmental Education Nonprofit

Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Remarkably easy to learn: Most users productive within 15-30 minutes—perfect for non-technical nonprofit staff
- Genuinely improves writing quality: Not just grammar fixes—shows you better ways to express ideas clearly and compellingly
- Affordable for nonprofits: 30% discount brings Unlimited plan to $13.99/month—less than half the cost of Grammarly Pro
- Works where you already write: Browser extension integrates seamlessly with Gmail, Google Docs, LinkedIn, CRMs—no platform switching
- Excellent for non-native English speakers: Translation and natural phrasing suggestions build confidence for multilingual teams
- Summarization is a game-changer: Quickly digest research, articles, and YouTube videos—saves hours per week
- Generous free tier: 10 daily rewrites is enough for light users to get real value without paying
- Fast and responsive: Suggestions appear instantly—no waiting for AI to process
❌ Cons
- No plagiarism detection: Unlike Grammarly, Wordtune doesn't check if rewritten content is too similar to existing sources—critical for grant writers
- Limited daily rewrites on free plan: 10 rewrites/day may feel restrictive if you write a lot—need paid plan for heavy use
- AI suggestions sometimes miss context: Wordtune doesn't understand your organization's mission or specific terminology—may suggest changes that lose nonprofit meaning
- Browser-dependent: Doesn't work in desktop Microsoft Word or offline—requires internet and browser-based tools
- Less comprehensive than Grammarly: Grammar checking is basic; if you need deep grammar analysis and plagiarism detection, Grammarly is more thorough
- Can make writing feel formulaic: Over-reliance on AI suggestions may reduce authenticity—human review essential
- Teams plan pricing not transparent: Have to contact sales for multi-user pricing—harder to budget for larger teams
Alternatives to Consider
If Wordtune doesn't feel like the right fit, here are 3 comparable tools with key differentiators:
Grammarly
More comprehensive grammar checking and plagiarism detection
Best for: Nonprofits that prioritize error detection and plagiarism checking over creative rewriting. Ideal if you write grant proposals and need to verify originality.
Key differences: Grammarly excels at catching grammar errors, style inconsistencies, and plagiarism. It offers deeper grammar analysis but less creative rewriting. More expensive ($30/month vs. $13.99-$19.99 for Wordtune). No content summarization feature.
Why you might choose Wordtune instead: Better for rewriting/paraphrasing, more affordable, includes summarization, easier interface for non-technical users. Choose Wordtune if you need help expressing ideas better, not just fixing errors.
Hemingway Editor
Simpler, cheaper tool focused on readability and clarity
Best for: Small nonprofits on tight budgets who want to make writing clearer and more readable without AI rewriting. Ideal for editing annual reports, blog posts, and web content for accessibility.
Key differences: Hemingway highlights complex sentences, passive voice, and hard-to-read phrases. No AI rewriting—just flags issues for you to fix manually. Much cheaper (free online, $10-19.99/month for Plus). No summarization or tone adjustment features.
Why you might choose Wordtune instead: Wordtune actually shows you how to rewrite complex sentences (Hemingway just flags them). Better for non-native speakers who need phrasing suggestions. Includes AI Writing Assistant and summarization. Choose Wordtune if you want help writing, not just editing.
ChatGPT
More versatile AI for drafting content from scratch
Best for: Nonprofits that need to generate full drafts (emails, social posts, grant narratives) from prompts rather than rewriting existing text. Better for brainstorming and content creation.
Key differences: ChatGPT creates content from scratch based on prompts. Wordtune improves existing writing. ChatGPT is more versatile (answers questions, generates ideas, drafts documents) but requires more skill to prompt effectively. Free tier available; Plus is $20/month.
Why you might choose Wordtune instead: Wordtune is faster and easier for improving text you've already written. Works as a browser extension (no copying/pasting to a separate tool). Better for refining tone and clarity. Choose Wordtune if you want to improve your writing; choose ChatGPT if you want to generate content from scratch.
Why Choose Wordtune?
Wordtune occupies a sweet spot: easier than ChatGPT, more helpful than Hemingway, more affordable than Grammarly. It's the best choice for nonprofits that:
- Already write decent drafts but struggle to make them compelling
- Have non-native English speakers on the team who need phrasing confidence
- Need to adjust tone between formal (grants) and casual (social media) regularly
- Want content summarization alongside writing assistance
- Prefer a tool that works directly in Gmail, Google Docs, and LinkedIn (no separate app)

Contact Us to Learn MoreFrequently Asked Questions
Is Wordtune free for nonprofits?
Wordtune offers a free tier with 10 daily rewrites and 3 AI summarizations per month. For nonprofits needing more, there's a 30% discount on Advanced ($13.99/month) and Unlimited ($19.99/month) plans for verified 501(c)(3) organizations. You'll need to provide proof of nonprofit status or a .edu/.org email address. The discounted prices are $9.79/month (Advanced) or $13.99/month (Unlimited), making it very affordable for nonprofit teams.
How is Wordtune different from Grammarly?
While Grammarly focuses on catching errors and correcting grammar, Wordtune specializes in rewriting and improving the way you express ideas. Grammarly tells you what's wrong; Wordtune shows you better ways to say it. Wordtune offers content summarization (articles, PDFs, YouTube videos) and AI-powered content generation, features Grammarly doesn't have. However, Grammarly has plagiarism checking that Wordtune lacks. For nonprofits, Wordtune is also more affordable ($13.99-$19.99 vs. $30/month for Grammarly Pro).
Can Wordtune help with grant writing?
Yes. Wordtune excels at helping you refine grant narrative sections by offering multiple ways to phrase complex ideas clearly and professionally. It can help you adjust tone between formal (for foundation proposals) and accessible (for community grants), expand brief notes into full sentences, and summarize dense research for executive summaries. The AI Writing Assistant can help continue your thoughts when you're stuck. However, always fact-check AI suggestions and ensure the content authentically reflects your organization's voice and mission. Wordtune also lacks plagiarism detection, so verify originality separately for grant proposals.
Does Wordtune work in Google Docs and Gmail?
Yes. Wordtune's Chrome extension works seamlessly in Google Docs, Gmail, LinkedIn, and most web-based text fields. There's also an Edge extension for Microsoft users, and a standalone web interface. The iOS mobile app allows you to use Wordtune on the go. This means you can improve your writing across all the platforms your nonprofit team already uses, without switching tools or copying and pasting.
How long does it take to learn Wordtune?
Wordtune is remarkably easy to learn—most users are productive within 15-30 minutes. Write or paste text, highlight what you want to improve, and Wordtune shows you alternatives instantly. Click the suggestion you like, and it's applied. No complex menus or settings to configure. For non-native English speakers and small nonprofit teams with limited technical expertise, this simplicity is a huge advantage over more complex writing tools.
Can multiple team members use one Wordtune account?
Wordtune offers a Teams plan designed for organizations with multiple users. Individual plans (Free, Advanced, Unlimited) are licensed per user, so sharing accounts isn't recommended. For small nonprofits with 2-5 team members who write frequently (development staff, communications, ED), investing in the Teams plan ensures everyone can access premium features. If only one person handles most writing, an individual Unlimited plan ($19.99/month, or $13.99 with nonprofit discount) may be more cost-effective.
