PerfectIt — Microsoft Word add-in for editorial consistency and style-guide checking.

PerfectIt is a laser-focused consistency checker that catches hyphenation conflicts, abbreviation drift, capitalisation mismatches, and formatting irregularities across long Word documents. It is not a grammar or spelling corrector — that's intentional: it does one thing (consistency) exceptionally well. The DB listed $79/year, but the actual individual price is $70/user/year; the DB price_tier 'free_trial' has been corrected to 'paid' (a 14-day trial exists, but there is no permanent free tier).

Catches the class of errors that grammar tools miss entirely — inconsistent hyphenation, mismatched abbreviation definitions, capitalisation drift across 100-page documents. For editing professionals, even one caught error per document pays for the annual licence many times over.

Works exclusively in Microsoft Word (Windows and Mac); no Google Docs, no browser, no Scrivener. Teams outside the Word ecosystem are locked out entirely.

PerfectIt Enterprise for centralised team deployment and volume pricing at 40+ seats.

ProWritingAid or Grammarly for broader grammar and style correction with lighter consistency features.
