Now to the main point – what these services can do. We won’t list everything because the tools keep improving and adding new features. Instead, we’ll check the main functions.
Before we get into details, check a quick intro to each tool – what it is and what it promises.
Tool overview
Grammarly checks grammar, spelling, and style. It was created by Grammarly Inc. in 2009. You can use it in your browser, web app, or mobile/desktop apps.

Tool overview
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot by OpenAI, introduced in November 2022. It generates text, gives ideas, and answers questions. It’s great for writing from scratch, brainstorming, or learning quickly. It doesn’t focus on grammar checks or plagiarism.
Tool overview
Smodin is an all-in-one AI writing tool from Smodin AI, launched in 2017. It combines writing, rewriting, and checking in one platform. It can check grammar, detect plagiarism, find AI content, measure readability, and works in multiple languages.
We reviewed how each tool performs across common writing scenarios such as editing drafts, generating content, and checking originality.
These tools are not the same and are made for different tasks. Grammarly works best when you already have text and want it clean and correct. ChatGPT helps when you need text or ideas fast. Smodin is good when you want one tool to write, rewrite, and check text in one place.
So, choose the tool depending on what you do most. Take Grammarly for editing, ChatGPT for writing from zero, and Smodin for full-text work.
