ChatGPT 4.0, QuillBot, Grammarly, and Sudowrite: Which App Is the Best for Writing?
A Journey Through AI Writing Apps: Honest Reviews and Recommendations
Hello, my best readers! Today, I’ve got something exciting for you — an honest and unpaid analysis of those fancy apps up there. Brace yourselves because ever since March, I’ve been on an endless self-development spree, dedicating all my time, energy, and even hard-earned cash to testing out these new AI apps on myself. And guess what? I’m here to spill the beans, my lovely beans, and help out all of you wonderful people who are just starting your journey into blogging, storytelling, or even book writing.
You know what I really missed when I started? An article like this! Seriously, I’m still craving it — an honest review from a regular user, not some fancy-pants Medium writer or famous blogger. That’s why I’ve taken it upon myself to share my own story, sprinkled with my subjective (but hey, totally honest) reviews and thoughts on the app.
If you’re itching for an in-depth and honest review of the apps we’ve been talking about, fear not! I’ve got your back, and I promise to deliver a detailed analysis in the near future. But for now, in this story, I want to provide you with a general assessment of the key points.
So, buckle up and get ready for the ride!
ChatGPT 4.0
Let me spill the beans on my personal experience with ChatGPT 4.0 and why it left me feeling like a disappointed potato.
I shelled out 20 bucks for the paid subscription, but boy, was I let down. After just two weeks, I made the decision to bid it farewell and hit that unsubscribe button. Here’s the deal: ChatGPT 4.0 didn’t live up to the hype, especially when it came to writing. Instead of seeing improvements, I stumbled upon a truckload of downsides.
First off, it’s slower than a snail on a leisurely stroll. I get it. There’s a ton of data processing going on, but come on, I’m paying for this service. I want an enjoyable experience, not a patience-testing marathon. Seriously! Did I sign up for a “pay more, get less” deal? I don’t recall doing that.
And let’s not forget the stingy limit of 20 requests in 3 hours. Talk about mockery! It felt like someone at the company was having a field day, trolling the users. If your servers can’t handle the demand, maybe it’s time to polish up the app and algorithms before slapping a price tag on them, right?
Now, before you jump in and say, “Hey, but the improved version offers more characters in outputs and inputs,” let me stop you right there.
Sure, it does, but those drawbacks I mentioned earlier just bulldoze any potential benefits. The features of the free version are more than enough for writing blogs, articles, and even books. In my humble opinion, writing is all about crafting, rewriting, and tweaking. In other words, breaking down the text into smaller, meaningful chunks and working on them. And for that, good old ChatGPT 3.5 does the trick, my friends. So there you have it. The honest truth from yours truly.
I genuinely recommend everyone, writers and non-writers alike, to give the free version of ChatGPT3.5 a whirl.
It’s a product that deserves a round of applause, and my heartfelt thanks go out to the company and the developers for that. Now, let’s get back to the writing game, shall we?
In my opinion, ChatGPT 4.0 may not be the best choice if you plan on doing a lot of writing.
QuillBot
First things first, let me give you the lowdown on the price.
Get this — I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered the yearly plan. It’s actually quite reasonable, so without hesitation, I hopped on the bandwagon and grabbed a full year’s worth. Now, whether I’ve made the best decision of my life or not, that’s still up for debate. But let me tell you, QuillBot is a true gem when it comes to writing small articles and blogs.
But wait, there’s more! One of the things I absolutely adore about this app is how it spins phrases and summarizes articles. Trust me, it’s a lifesaver when you’re knee-deep in writing a book. You know how it goes — sometimes, you lose track of what you’ve already edited and rewritten. Heck, you might even forget the essence of a whole chapter after countless revisions. That’s where these nifty features come to the rescue, my friends.
Yes, you can summarize and paraphrase with ChatGPT for free, but QuillBot is much more convenient.
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room for those of you concerned about what the AI detector might uncover. Yes, it’s pretty good at sniffing out the original content. But personally, I don’t see it as a problem. Why? Because you initially penned down the brilliant idea yourself, and then you worked your magic to improve and paraphrase it.
QuillBot has brought some more joy and convenience into my writing world. I highly recommend giving it a whirl if you’re up for a good time. It’s more than just a writing tool — it’s a whole adventure in itself. I’m still getting to know all the features of this product, but the more I use it, the more I’m impressed. However, I’m not quite ready to say it’s the best investment just yet.
In conclusion, if you primarily write blogs and articles and are on a tight budget, QuillBot would be a great choice — cheap and dirty!
Grammarly
This product is a writing wizard. It gets me, you know? I understand its corrections and suggestions like we’re in perfect sync. And hold onto your mysterious hats because there’s a new feature named “GrammarlyGo” that takes rewriting to a whole new level.
GrammarlyGO is an AI assistant that uses generative AI to help you write, rewrite, ideate, and reply with simple prompts or even at the click of a button. With a Grammarly plan, you get a monthly allowance of prompts to begin writing with GrammarlyGO. You’ll be amazed at what you can do. It finds ways to make your writing shine — and gives you new versions to consider.
Writing with Grammarly is like unleashing a team of meticulous editors who meticulously sculpt and polish your words, transforming them into a symphony of linguistic brilliance.
However, let’s not ignore the elephants in the room—the price tag and the company’s general greediness. Ah, yes, it’s a classic case of “business, nothing personal,” — as they say in the West.
I’m not exactly thrilled with the company’s philosophy, but here’s the honest truth — the app itself is pretty cool, and it’s a writing superhero. It’s got your back, helping you improve your writing skills across the board.
Now, let me share a little secret with you. Even Grammarly, the mighty writing assistant, sometimes struggles to grasp the context and understand what you truly want to convey. It happens, friends. Let me give you an example.
See, it’s not like you mindlessly click “correct” and watch the magic happen. No, no, no. You still need to keep your eyes peeled and carefully examine what’s being proposed and why. It’s a dance between you and the app, my friends. I faced my own battle when I was writing my book. QuillBot and Grammarly, bless their digital hearts, would offer me fundamentally different fixes.
Various types of disagreement between the two applications occur on a regular basis if both are switched on. Take a look, my dear reader:
Hmm, what does Grammarly say? Let’s see:
First of all:
I mean — Ha-ha-ha!
I naively thought that by arming myself with Grammarly and QuillBot, I would finally get my English down easily — write a big book with ease!
One more time, guys: Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha!
Talk about a brain teaser, friends! I remember feeling utterly perplexed, even having to brush up on English grammar at times. But hey, it’s all part of the writing adventure, right?
So, my fellow language explorers, embrace the awesomeness of this product while being aware of its quirks. It’s a powerful tool, but remember, you’re the captain of your own writing ship. Keep your wits about you, choose wisely, and let the words flow with brilliance!
I have found that this app is the best for general writing, particularly due to its recent addition of features that allow for sentence and paragraph improvement and rewriting.
Sudowrite
Let me introduce you to Sudowrite, the newest star in my writing arsenal. I stumbled upon this gem just a few days ago, and let me tell you, the potential it holds for crafting stories and books is off the charts! Thank you, Lance Cummings, for such a recommendation! 🙏🏻
Now, don’t expect Sudowrite to be your strict grammar teacher, cracking the whip on your mistakes. It’s not that kind of app. But what it does, my friends, is help you unleash your creativity and fuel your imagination. It’s like having a trusty sidekick guiding you through the twists and turns of your plot and helping you organize it all with its nifty functions. Plus, navigating the app and accessing what you’ve already written is as smooth as butter.
In a nutshell, if you’re diving into the world of storytelling or book writing, trust me, you won’t find a better companion than Sudowrite.
Fun fact: I first heard about this app from the professor above, who casually mentioned it in one of his enlightening essays. Silly me, it took me a while to finally give it a go. And guess what? I didn’t find any referral link in that article at first, but lo and behold, I later discovered there was one hiding in plain sight.
So, in the spirit of fairness, I’ll drop his referral link right here for all of you who are itching to give Sudowrite a whirl:
It’s important to note that he didn’t ask me to do this. I just think it’s fair. He is a very humble man, and he recommended a really cool app.
Conclusion
Alright, folks, it’s time for the grand finale—the conclusion! So here’s the scoop on making the best choices for your writing journey.
If you’re just starting out on your writing adventure, my recommendation is to hold off on purchasing a helper app right away. Instead, embrace the wonders of the free ChatGPT and its incredible weighty system. Believe me, this ingenious creation can do almost anything, maybe even everything when you use the right prompts. Sure, it might take a bit more time and effort, but once you get the hang of working with Chat, everything becomes a breeze when you explore other applications.
Now, if you’re open to splurging a bit, here’s the winning combo: grab a subscription to Sudowrite and team it up with the free ChatGPT. Trust me, with this dynamic duo, you’ll be on your way to writing a bestseller in no time.
But hold on, here’s a golden nugget of wisdom. Keep an eye out for promotions from Grammarly. When the stars align, and they offer a half-price annual subscription, snatch it up without hesitation. Oh, and don’t forget to secure that Sudowrite subscription too.
In my humble opinion, it’s one of the smartest investments you can make: Sudowrite+Grammarly+ChatGPT3.5 (for free).
Grammarly will also nurture your growth as a writer and elevate your language skills to new heights. Personally, I can vouch for the significant improvement in my language command and vocabulary expansion thanks to all AI apps, but the new feature “GrammarlyGo” from Grammarly is nothing short of cool. I’m really impressed!
So, my fellow wordsmiths, weigh your options, follow your instincts, and make the choices that will propel you toward success. And remember, the writing world is your oyster — so go out there and create literary magic like never before!
