EditPad AI Review - Online Notepad and Wordpad
Skip the Docs, go for EditPad AI? Our review reveals its note-taking and AI writing strengths. Is it the ultimate note-taking app?
When it comes to taking notes, it's hard to look past options like Microsoft Word or Google Docs. However, as more note-taking apps such as Notion begin to integrate other features like AI content generation, there are more competitors than ever before.
That's the exact approach that EditPad has also tried to take with its AI writing tool
But is it any good?
In this review, we will look at the following:
Overall the EditPad AI offering is rather basic, with only a couple of features on the Pro plan and a lack of additional features that other similarly priced AI platforms have on offer.
The concept of paying per week rather than per month is interesting, but when you do the math, you quickly realize that it isn't quite as cheap as it might seem, especially considering what you are getting.
We would certainly recommend testing out the tool using the free version first, before investing any money into the platform.
As with all our AI tool reviews, we feel it's extremely important to undertake first-hand experience testing out any tools we review on this platform, and the same can be said for EditPad.
All of the opinions and information you see below have been collated from first-hand interactions with the tool, and the opinions are completely our own, from our own experience using the platform.
EditPad certainly isn't the most advanced or user-friendly AI writing tool, and as a result, we would recommend that it is best for those that are still getting familiar with the capabilities and limitations of AI content writers.
It isn't the best tool for marketers as it lacks the necessary tools for all forms of content, but if you need a tool that can help you check for grammar mistakes and generate the foundations of a story or essay, EditPad might be the right choice for you.
EditPad has five main AI writing tools for you to take advantage of, which include:
Therefore, the types of content you can create are limited to these options, with no option for content such as product descriptions, social media captions, or scripts, for example.
The first notable feature on show is the paraphrasing tool, which allows you to paraphrase content already generated.
Let's take this article from the AI Content Expert on How to Become an AI Expert in 2024 and see what it generates.
It's not a bad result, but some of the paraphrasing has come out as an incorrect sentence and will need a full review and edit.
Next, we have the AI Essay Writer, which is designed to help you create essays on any topic. Let's put it to the test with an essay on the importance of electric cars.
It didn't provide us with any titles or subheadings, but the content itself is solid enough while also slightly underwhelming.
Finally, we can move away from academic writing and look into the AI Story Generator, which is designed to help you create fictional stories in just a couple of clicks. Let's test it out with a story about gladiators fighting in a colosseum.
A very solid and safe output, but that is to be expected as we only provided a very basic prompt. From using this tool, it could certainly be useful for coming up with plot ideas or character development, but it shouldn't replace the creative process of fictional writing.
When it comes to picking a direct alternative, options like Notion and Google Docs are the first that spring to mind.
However, if you want to expand your AI learning and capabilities, you could also consider checking out tools like Hypotenuse AI or Krater AI for more advanced AI features without costs much more per month.
As part of this review, we were able to generate three different types of content using the different tools on offer. So let's see how each outcome performed in Originality AI's Standard 2.0 detector.

Overall, the EditPad AI platform is extremely basic, but it makes for a solid introduction into the capabilities and limitations of AI for those that are less experienced in the subject.
The free version allows you to create plenty of shorter content without even signing up, so we would recommend checking out what the tool has (and hasn't) got to offer you, to allow you to make a judgment on whether or not it's a tool worth investing your time and money into.
You can use EditPad AI without having to even register for a free account, making it extremely secure and safe to try.
You can use EditPad AI as part of your writing process for free with the free version, but to unlock all of the features, you will need to pay for a Pro plan.
Edit Pad focuses on more than just AI content generation. It also has a plagiarism checker and acts as an alternative to tools like Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
Do you often find yourself struggling to articulate your thoughts and ideas when writing them down? Perhaps it occurs when you try to explain an idea you have to your boss, or maybe it occurs when you try to offer advice or guidance to your employees.
Are you tired of spending endless hours writing and editing content for your website? The good news is you can now harness the power of AI to create articles in a fraction of the time. But beware, too much AI-generated content can harm your website’s search engine ranking. That’s where AI Content Detection Tools come.
