Alternatives
Most online text tools make one of two trade-offs: a big free toolbox that pays for itself with ads or a daily limit, or a clean interface locked behind a subscription. TextArray is the free, private and unlimited middle — 640+ tools that run entirely in your browser, in 18 languages, with nothing to sign up for.
These pages compare it, feature by feature, with the tools people most often switch from. Where a competitor is genuinely better at something, it says so.
