There is not a free version of PerfectIt; however, there is a free trial that lasts for 14 days, during which time you can try out the software without spending any money. Every feature can be accessed across the board, from the free trial all the way up to the premium plan.

This application, which has been hailed as the “leading software among professional proofreaders and editors,” can even enforce the rules outlined in the stylebook that you are currently employing. In addition to that, it finds instances of undefined abbreviations and works for the English spoken in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.

PerfectIt reviews

It saves you time, teaches you how to be a better writer, and improves the quality of your manuscript, and to me, that’s a perfect trifecta.

The software is easy to use, and I appreciate the focus on consistency, which is my primary concern when editing.

- Lauren Holder Raab, Blue Pencil Editing

I regard PerfectIt as the most essential tool for all my editing work. It helps me make my work so much more accurate and consistent, and it's worth every cent.
