Short answer
Clarity is the stronger Wordtune alternative when you want AI to act inside the current workflow, not in another panel. It rewrites, polishes, translates, summarizes, explains, continues writing, and runs saved prompts from context.
Wordtune still makes sense for users who mainly rewrite and polish sentences. But when the task is to improve a paragraph, keep Google Docs structure, extract text from the screen, translate visible text, or solve a visible problem, Clarity removes more friction.
The difference is practical: select the thing you care about, run the action, review the result, and continue working.
Quick comparison
| Criterion | Clarity | Wordtune |
|---|---|---|
| Main idea | Context actions for selected text, Google Docs, input fields, and screen regions | users who mainly rewrite and polish sentences |
| Interface | Right-click workflow and compact panels only when needed | More separate tools, panels, or product surfaces |
| Google Docs | Works on selected fragments and helps preserve structure and formatting where supported | Often feels more like a separate assistant flow |
| Screen tools | Extract Text, Translate Text, What is this?, Solve from Screen, and questions about a selected area | Not the central everyday workflow |
| Custom prompts | Up to 5 on Free and up to 50 on Pro, launched from context | Usually lives inside a larger prompt or chat system |
What the alternative does well
Wordtune is capable and can be a sensible choice for users who mainly rewrite and polish sentences. Its limitation is workflow shape: many tasks happen in a broader tool surface, while everyday edits are often small and immediate.
Clarity is built around those small moments. It does not ask users to move everything into a sidebar before getting value.
What Clarity does differently
Clarity appears when you select text, work in Google Docs, type in a field, or choose a screen region.
Core actions include Rephrase, Humanize, Fix Grammar & Polish, Shorten, Expand, Clarify Structure, Smart Translate, Continue Writing, Summarize, Explain, and custom prompts.
Workflow
Many AI assistants move the user into a sidebar, chat, upload flow, or separate workspace. That can be fine for long research sessions, but it is heavy for a five-second edit.
Clarity keeps the action on the page: select, choose a command, get the result, and keep writing.
Google Docs
In Google Docs, formatting is part of the work. Headings, links, lists, emphasis, spacing, and paragraph order all matter.
Clarity works with selected fragments and helps keep document structure stable where the editor allows it.
Screen tools
Real work is often not selectable text: screenshots, charts, formulas, diagrams, UI errors, tables in images, and text inside videos.
Clarity lets the user choose a screen region and run Extract Text, Translate Text, What is this?, Solve from Screen, or a direct question.
Custom prompts
Saved custom prompts turn repeatable instructions into one-click actions. Free supports up to 5 custom prompts; Pro supports up to 50.
That matters for recurring work: polish this in a friendly tone, make a follow-up email, shorten to three bullets, translate while keeping professional style, or explain this for a beginner.
Pricing and limits
Clarity Free includes 50 AI actions for one 30-day period across text, Google Docs, and Screen tools. Pro costs $8.99/month or $79.99/year, about $6.67/month when billed annually.
Wordtune uses daily Rewrite limits and monthly summary limits. Its free plan includes 10 Rewrite/day; 3 summaries/month; paid access is Advanced from $58.68/year; Unlimited from $83.88/year.
| Plan | Price | Main limit |
|---|---|---|
| Clarity Free | $0 | 50 AI actions for 30 days |
| Clarity Pro | $8.99/month or $79.99/year | No hard monthly AI-action cap, with fair use |
| Wordtune Free | $0 | 10 Rewrite/day; 3 summaries/month |
| Wordtune Paid | Advanced from $58.68/year; Unlimited from $83.88/year | daily Rewrite limits and monthly summary limits |
