What's great

I’ve been using Lex for a few months, mostly for drafting articles and notes. What I really like is how clean and distraction-free it feels - it helps me stay focused on writing instead of fiddling with formatting. The interface is super minimal, and everything runs smoothly.

What needs improvement

limited editing capabilities (2)

vs Alternatives

Lex just felt simpler and cleaner than most writing tools I’ve tried. I didn’t want something overloaded with menus and distractions - I just needed a quiet space to write that still gives me smart AI help when I need it. Lex strikes a really nice balance between minimalism and usefulness. I also liked how responsive the team is and how fast the app keeps improving.

Grammarly

What's great

i’ve been using Grammarly for a while now, and overall it’s a solid tool. It catches most grammar and spelling mistakes and often helps me phrase things more clearly. The interface is clean and easy to use, and it works well both in the browser and in the app..

That said, some of its style suggestions can feel a bit off, especially when I’m writing something more creative or informal. I also wish some of the premium features were included in the free version.

Still, it’s definitely improved how I write in English and saves me time when I’m drafting emails or documents. Not perfect, but it does its job really well.

What needs improvement

Google Docs support (2)

vs Alternatives

i chose Grammarly because it felt like the most complete option out there. I tried a couple of other grammar checkers before, but Grammarly’s interface was cleaner and the feedback made more sense. I also liked that it works across browsers and apps, so I can use it for emails, documents, and even quick messages. It just fits into my workflow without getting in the way..

How well does tone detection match my intent?

The tone detection works pretty well most of the time. It usually picks up whether I’m being too formal or too direct and gives useful suggestions to soften or adjust my wording. Sometimes it misreads my intent in more creative or sarcastic texts, but for regular emails and work writing, it’s spot on.

Does it handle long-form documents without lag?

For short and medium-length pieces, it runs smoothly. When I work on longer documents - like reports or essays - it can get a little slow, especially if I have multiple tabs or apps open. It’s not a dealbreaker, but you can notice a bit of lag with really large files.

How easy is onboarding and browser extension setup?

Setup was super simple - it only took a few minutes. The browser extension installed without any issues, and it started working right away in places like Gmail and Google Docs. The onboarding was clear, and I didn’t need to look up any tutorials to figure things out.
