+ Translations read more naturally than Google Translate for German, French, Spanish and other European languages, and it translates whole documents with formatting intact.
− Covers far fewer languages than Google Translate and the free tier caps document size.
+ Works in nearly every text field on every platform, so corrections and tone suggestions follow you into Gmail, Slack and Word.
− Suggestions can flatten a distinctive voice and the premium nag prompts in the free tier are constant.

+ The paraphraser's mode slider (fluency, formal, simple, creative) is the fastest way to rework a clumsy paragraph.
− Paraphrased text sometimes changes meaning, and its humanizer and detector are unreliable against serious detection tools.
