RUNBOOK · wordtune/discontinued4 FIXES

// quick answer

Wordtune isn't shut down, but AI21 Labs stopped developing it in April 2025 and cut about 60% of its staff in May 2026. The site and paid plans still work as of November 2026; avoid paying a year upfront and keep an alternative ready.

Most likely fix: Keep using it safely
