EE vs. application auto-checkers — Editors serve as bridges between writers and readers—between thinking human beings. Auto-checkers can mostly find typos (although they will miss "their" when it should be "there") and will give you some ideas about a grammar problem. But when it comes to effective communication, put the human mind and experience on the case.

EE vs. freelancer editors — There are many experienced freelancers available for this work; we employ some of them. What EE offers is a one-stop shop–we'll have someone immediately available with one call, and our experienced manager will review their work to ensure it meets your request and expectations.

EE vs. Web-based proofreading services — Competitors offer primarily proofreading services—a cold read for major errors. We can do that, but we offer a broader service of improving language to achieve business and personal objectives. Further, we have much more experience than companies who have started recently and simply use today's technology.

EE vs. self/colleague-editing — It is well-known that no one should edit his or her own writing: it is almost impossible to be objective or spot simple typos and errors. Further, while your colleagues may have relevant experience and training, and may be able to give you useful feedback, they are no substitute for a professional editor.
