Better than SciSpace and comparable with Unriddle for this sort of task

It has a grammar checker implemented which enables you to correct anything you want.

It includes sources for the text it writes which is a plus compared to the widely used tool ChatGPT which sometimes makes up the sources. This enables you to also check the source for yourself and add to the text the tool has written for you or to fact check what it has written. This also enables you to avoid plagiarism in your assignments.

Provides real-time edit proposals and style suggestions.

One of the downsides can be that it can get irritating if you do not have the premium version because it still underlines the text, but you often cannot find a solution to the underlined text on your own. It would be less confusing to the user if these things just were not visible if you are using the free version.

The new AI tool paraphrases your text, is able to find things in your text that you should cite, and gives you ideas how to improve your text. The limitation is 100 prompts.

The tool wants links to your organization, to the grant offer, and so on, which can feel like a bit of a privacy invasion, so not recommended if you are dealing with data of sensitive nature.

It takes a while for the tool to process your request.

Good if you have a very specific grant to write, not so good if you just want it to write a general grant proposal or you are unsure of what exactly you need. All of the specific options that the tools offers can feel overwhelming if you are new to grants.

Only paid options:

• $29 for 20k words per month
