Readable review
A deep web and document readability checker for professional content teams.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Readable is a web-based readability and writing analysis toolkit for writers, authors, educators, marketers, government bodies, insurers, and medical organizations. It evaluates text, documents, URLs, emails, spreadsheets, and websites for readability, spelling, grammar, style, tone, sentiment, personalism, and keyword density. Its reports combine 17 named formulas and algorithms with sentence and word length analysis, highlighted issues, and suggested improvements. Readable is intended for teams that need more than a basic readability score, particularly when website content and ongoing analysis matter.
The published monthly plans are structured around users, websites, and integration needs. ContentPro costs $12 per month for one user and includes text analysis and an editor for authors, marketers, and educators. CommercePro costs $24 per month for three users and one website. AgencyPro costs $69 per month for five users, three websites, the Readability API, and Dropbox and Slack integrations. A 7-day free trial is available, while the product otherwise uses a paid model. Buyers should match the plan to collaboration and website coverage rather than choosing only by the text editor.
Readable’s strongest distinction is its breadth: alongside readability scoring, it covers tone, sentiment, personalism, keyword density, spelling, grammar, reports, and website monitoring alerts. AgencyPro extends that analysis through an API for text and URL analysis, with potential use in software, CMSs, products, or services. The web and API options suit professional teams managing content across multiple formats and sites. Smaller users who need only occasional checks may find the paid-only structure less suitable, while teams seeking API access, monitoring, and deeper web analysis have a clearer fit with the higher tier.
