How to Use

Getting the most out of each tool

🔢

Word & Character Counter

Open the tool and start typing — or paste your draft in. Word count, character count, sentence count, and estimated reading time all update live. Drop a keyword into the tracker and it flags when you've hit your target. Run it before submitting any article, email, or client piece where hitting the brief matters.

📊

Readability Checker

Paste your finished copy, pick your content type, and get scores instantly. The tool highlights long sentences and complex words so you know exactly what to fix. For most web content, aim for a Flesch Reading Ease score between 60–70.

📋

Project Planner

Walk through the 6 steps before you send any proposal. Enter your location, experience level, and project scope — and the planner outputs a rate range, content plan, timeline, and a custom AI prompt ready to go.

💡

Use them together

Plan your project and set your rate first. Draft with the Word Counter open. Run a Readability Check before you hit send. Five extra minutes per project that makes every delivery more professional — and every invoice easier to justify.

Why It Matters

The edge most freelancers skip

Most writers lose work not because their writing isn't good — but because they can't prove it, price it, or polish it.

1

Hit every brief

Editors and clients set word counts for a reason. A live counter means you never miss a target or over-deliver.

2

Copy that actually gets read

High readability means better engagement, better SEO, and clients who come back. Dense copy gets ignored — even when the ideas are good.

3

Stop undercharging

Guessing your rate leaves money on the table. The project planner uses real data — your location, experience, and scope — to give you a number you can actually stand behind.

The Workflow

Before you write. While you write. Before you send.

→
Step 01

Plan & price

Step 02

Draft with data

Keep the Word Counter open while you write. Watch your count, keywords, and reading time update live.

Step 03

Polish before sending

Run a Readability Check on your final draft. Fix what the tool flags. Submit with confidence.

Yes — 100% free, no sign-up, no paywall. Open any tool and start using it immediately.

What's a good Flesch score for blog content?

It uses your location, experience level, specialisation, and project scope against standard freelance pricing benchmarks — no live database, just proven formulas.

Is my content saved or tracked?
