What each tool does
Grammarly is an AI writing assistant that checks grammar and clarity, suggests tone changes and rewrites paragraphs in one click. It works across the apps and websites you use, and its agent tools include a humanizer and an AI detector.
Sudowrite is an AI writing partner designed for fiction. It uses Muse, its own model trained for storytelling, to help novelists draft and develop their work. It aims to be a supportive, non-judgemental partner for creative writers.

Which should you choose?
Choose Grammarly if your writing is mostly emails, assignments, reports or blog posts and you want it clear and correct.
Choose Sudowrite if you are writing fiction and want help moving a story forward, developing scenes or getting past a blank page.
Can you use both?
Yes. A fiction writer could draft and develop chapters in Sudowrite, then run the text through Grammarly to catch grammar issues. Since Sudowrite is paid, try the free option first and remember you will likely pay in USD by card.
