User reviews

Users appreciate ProWritingAid's consistent improvements, helpful writing suggestions, and seamless website integration. It's praised as a more affordable alternative to similar tools like Grammarly. However, multiple reviewers report significant lag and slowdowns in Firefox, complicating writing tasks. The interface is sometimes confusing, and the add-on ignores some user settings, raising privacy concerns. Additionally, the free account's low word count limit restricts usability for some users.

Pros

Continuous improvement and ongoing feature updates over the years.
Helpful integration with different websites without being intrusive.
Useful for writers in catching typos and suggesting alternative wordings.
More affordable compared to competitors like Grammarly.

Cons

Causes significant lag and slows down Firefox, making typing difficult.
The user interface can be confusing and complicated to use.
Does not fully respect user settings by running on disabled sites, impacting privacy.
Free version is limited with a low word count limit (500 words).
