Overview
Writefull is a language checker for academic English, owned by the research technology company Digital Science. It is aimed at students, researchers, universities and publishers who need a manuscript to read like published research. It runs as an add-in for Microsoft Word and inside the Overleaf LaTeX editor, with a document revision service and an API for institutions and publishers. Getting started is free, Premium is sold to individuals and groups, and institutions license it through sales.
Our take
Pick Writefull if you write papers in LaTeX on Overleaf, where it works in the editor rather than beside it, or if your university already holds a licence. If you write mostly in Word and need named style guides such as APA or AMA, Trinka covers that ground instead, and for everyday business writing Grammarly is the more natural fit. Publishers triaging submissions should look at it for the API rather than the add-ins.

How we check reviews
Reviews are not published yet. The form on a tool's page works and reaches us, but nothing from it appears on this site, so no score here is based on a review. The rules below are the ones that will apply once reviews go live.
Every review is read by a person before it appears. We require a working email address and use it to come back to the author, so a review has a reachable sender rather than being anonymous. We publish positive and negative reviews alike, we pay nothing and offer nothing for a review, and we accept none that was bought or incentivised.
What we cannot do is verify a purchase. There is no shop here and no account, so whether the author really used the tool rests on what they tell us, plus the plausibility of what they write. We say so rather than implying a check that does not exist.
A vendor cannot have a review removed, cannot buy one, and cannot have one changed. Paid placement and a paid listing have no effect on which reviews appear or on any score.
