WriteHuman is a humanizer you can use on its website, in a Chrome extension, in iOS and Android apps and through a developer API, and every plan also includes its AI detector. The Chrome extension lets you humanize a draft from a side panel without switching tabs. It is fast. The problem is durability. Bypass rewrites are tuned to dodge today's detectors, and detectors retrain specifically to catch them, so a draft that reads clean this month can flag next month even though you never touched it, and the file usually still sits in an inbox or a learning management system waiting to be re-scanned. TextSight takes the durable path and puts the detector first. It shows you, sentence by sentence, what reads as AI-generated and why, before anything is rewritten, so you can improve the writing itself. This page is the honest cut: a bypass rewrite that can expire versus honest improvement that holds up when the next detector update lands.
A compact table first. Read it through one lens: which result still holds up after detectors retrain. Sections below unpack each row, including where WriteHuman's in-browser rewrite genuinely wins.
| What matters | TextSight | WriteHuman |
|---|---|---|
| Core job | Detect AI and help you improve the writing | Rewrite text to read as human to detectors |
| Durability after detectors retrain | Holds up; the writing itself is improved | Can expire; a clean rewrite may later flag |
| Standalone AI detector | Yes, sentence-level with per-line reasons | Yes, on every plan: 10, 160, 400 or unlimited checks a month |
| See why text reads as AI | Yes, per-sentence reason on every scan | Its detector gives each sentence an AI probability |
| Public detection methodology | Yes | Not stated on the pages we read |
| Free tier (no signup) | 3 actions a day, no card for first scan, permanent | Permanent free plan: 3 rewrites a month at 250 words plus 10 detection checks, resets every 30 days |
| REST API | Yes, on Business for detection + rewrite + bulk | Yes, a developer API billed per word as a separate subscription |
| Humanize inside Chrome | Scans the page, opens results in the app | Yes, from a side panel without switching tabs |
| Best fit | Writers, editors and teams who want a result that lasts | Students who want a fast in-Chrome rewrite |

Four spots where WriteHuman beats TextSight on the workflow it was built for. Calling them out up front is the whole point of an honest compare page.
This is a real differentiator. WriteHuman's Chrome extension gives spelling, grammar and style suggestions on the sites you already write on, and lets you humanize a draft from a Chrome side panel without switching tabs. It also has iOS and Android apps with the humanizer, AI detector and image detector. TextSight ships a Chrome extension too, but it scans pages and pipes selections into the TextSight tab; it does not humanize text on the host page. For a writer whose entire day happens inside Chrome, the in-flow rewrite saves a tab switch on every paragraph, and the saved seconds compound.
This is the core reason most users pick WriteHuman, and it is not marketing. The product has been recommended in student writing forums, Discord servers, and Reddit threads since the early Turnitin-AI-detection era. For users whose entire workflow is paste an AI draft, run a humanizer, submit, that established community trust is real value. TextSight is younger and positions for a different buyer, so the recommendation flywheel in student forums is not in our favour today.
WriteHuman's onboarding is paste-and-run with almost no surface area. For a user who already knows what a humanizer does and just wants to rewrite a paragraph in 20 seconds, the focused UI beats a multi-surface product on raw speed-to-first-output. TextSight's free path lands on the detector first, with the humanizer surfaced after the calibration scan, which is the right shape for the calibration workflow but adds a step for the pure rewrite use case.
"WriteHuman" is one of the more searched humanizer brand names in writing forums and student groups. If a peer or community recommends it by name, brand recognition is real marketing value. TextSight is younger and competes on substance, sentence-level evidence, and bundle math rather than name recall. For solo writers and students whose peers already know the name, the recognition shortcut matters in the choice.
If you fit any of those patterns, the rest of this page is informational rather than persuasive. WriteHuman is the tool for the job.
Five differences that matter for editors, SEO teams, classrooms, agencies running API pipelines and students who want a result that does not unravel later.
This is the heart of it. WriteHuman tunes its rewrites to dodge today's detectors, and detectors retrain specifically to catch those patterns. So a draft that reads clean today can flag after a future update, and because the file usually still lives in a learning management system or a client's inbox, a later re-scan can surface it. TextSight does not play that game. It shows you what reads as AI-shaped and why, so you improve the writing itself. That result holds when detectors change, because the goal was never to slip past one.
WriteHuman does include an AI detector on every plan, but the product leads with the humanizer and pitches the detector as a way to "know your content passes before you hit publish". TextSight reverses the order. The detector and Humanization Score come first, so you can scan a draft, see exactly which sentences read as AI-shaped and why, and decide whether it needs a rewrite at all before anything is changed. Neither tool can promise how Turnitin, GPTZero, Originality or an institutional pipeline will read the text later, and WriteHuman's own terms say it does not guarantee any particular score from any detector, including its own.
WriteHuman's homepage shows its detector giving each sentence an AI probability. TextSight returns a sentence-level highlight strip with a short reason per line, so you can fix the specific sentences that flag and keep the rest of your draft intact.
WriteHuman's homepage pitches features "designed to make your AI-generated content indistinguishable from human writing" and shows a chart of human scores "per platform after WriteHuman processing". That detector-passing framing is exactly what a teacher, a journal editor or a procurement committee treats as a red flag, and a draft that was run through a bypass tool is harder to defend if it is ever questioned. TextSight's framing is the opposite: detect, understand, and improve. It is built to be defensible rather than to be hidden.
WriteHuman has a developer API too: a REST endpoint (POST /v1/humanize), priced per word and sold as a subscription separate from its website plans. TextSight Business at $39.99 monthly includes a documented REST API with detection, the rewrite tool, bulk endpoints and per-key usage caps in the same subscription as the web app, so a team building a content-ops pipeline or a research workflow does not need a second contract.
The form factor decision drives every downstream difference. Worth holding in mind before pricing.
WriteHuman's product is a humanizer offered on its website, in a Chrome extension, in iOS and Android apps and through a developer API. Every plan also includes its AI detector, which gives each sentence an AI probability, and an image detector. The Chrome extension adds spelling, grammar and style suggestions on the sites you write on and lets you humanize from a side panel without switching tabs. The product leads with the rewrite: humanize the text, then check it in the detector if you choose. That is a fast fit for a writer who already knows they want a rewrite.
TextSight is a web app. Paste or upload a draft, get a sentence-level detection map with a per-line reason and an overall Humanization Score, then improve the sentences that flag. The Chrome extension scans the current page or selection and opens the result in the app rather than silently replacing host-page text. The flow is built for writers, editors and reviewers who want to see the evidence before they change anything. The trade-off is one extra step compared to an in-place rewrite, and the result is one that holds up rather than one tuned to dodge a single check.
A student writing a take-home essay opens WriteHuman's Chrome side panel next to a Google Doc and humanizes a paragraph without switching tabs, then can check the result in WriteHuman's detector. The same student in TextSight pastes the paragraph into the web app first, sees a sentence-level highlight strip showing which two sentences read AI-shaped and why, edits those two by hand, and ships. WriteHuman is faster on the click. TextSight starts from the evidence, before anything is rewritten. Different jobs for different writers.

This comes down to whether you want a fast result now or a result that still holds up later. Use this picker to match the tool to your day.
If you ever do rewrite a draft elsewhere, the durable move is to run it through TextSight's detector afterward and clean up the sentences that still read machine-shaped, so the result holds up later rather than just today.
The honest pick depends on the timeline you care about. Three concrete profiles, three concrete answers.
Drafts a take-home essay over a Sunday afternoon, then has 20 minutes to make it read clean before submission. WriteHuman is the fast option: humanize each paragraph, submit. The honest follow-up is the durability problem. The essay then sits in the learning management system, where it can be re-scanned later after detectors improve, and a bypass rewrite that read clean on submission day can flag weeks afterward. TextSight is the safer move here: scan the draft, see which sentences read as AI-shaped, and revise them yourself so the writing is genuinely your own and stays that way.
Mixes AI-assisted outlines with hand editing and needs every delivery to read as the writer's own work under whatever check the client runs. TextSight is the fit. One subscription buys unlimited detection scans, sentence-level evidence to find the lines that actually flag, and a rewrite tool to fix those lines while keeping the voice. WriteHuman can check drafts in its own detector, within its monthly allowance, but a delivered bypass rewrite that read clean at handoff can still fail the client's own check later.
A mix of original work, ESL writing and suspected AI submissions. TextSight is the clear fit. The whole job is transparent detection with sentence-level evidence, and that supports a fair conversation about a flagged draft. WriteHuman does include a detector, but it is sold as part of a humanizer product, and a bypass-focused product is the wrong vendor to bring into a department conversation. The permanent free tier also keeps the per-reviewer cost low.
