Quick answer

editGPT scores 78/100 (STEADY) on Hlido’s independent, hands-on test (reviewed 2026-05-23). STEADY (78) because editGPT effectively serves its purpose as a proofreading tool and has a growing user base.

Hlido Editor · 2026-05-23

editGPT provides a straightforward solution for users looking to proofread, edit, and track changes in their writing using AI. The tool is accessible via a Chrome extension and has garnered a user base of over 200,000, with positive feedback highlighting its efficiency. However, while it performs well for basic editing tasks, it does not offer the depth of features found in more established competitors like Grammarly or ProWritingAid, which include advanced style suggestions and integrations. Users may find editGPT sufficient for casual use, but those needing comprehensive editing tools might want to explore alternatives.

Why STEADY

STEADY (78) because editGPT effectively serves its purpose as a proofreading tool and has a growing user base. Not VITAL due to its lack of advanced features that more established competitors provide, and it may not meet the needs of users requiring comprehensive writing assistance.
