AI autocomplete apps for Mac, compared
Most Mac AI autocomplete apps work the same way: a language model runs on your Mac and shows the rest of your sentence as grey text that Tab accepts. They differ on price model, hardware support and trial terms. As of September 2026, WeType has the lowest one-time price at $20, Cotypist has a permanent free tier of 100 words a day, Typeahead is the one that also runs on Intel Macs, and Cotabby is free and open source but needs macOS 26.

Apple's inline predictive text is free, built into macOS Sonoma and later, and suggests a word or short phrase that Space accepts. WeType is a paid app that predicts longer continuations using a language model you choose, can read the conversation around the field, accepts with Tab a word at a time, and can be tuned or switched off per app. If a word or two of prediction is enough, Apple's is the better deal.
Read the 5-minute answerAI autocomplete vs AI writing assistants: which do you need?
AI writing tools fall into three groups. Chat assistants such as ChatGPT generate text from a prompt, in their own window. Grammar and style checkers such as Grammarly correct and rephrase text you have already written. AI autocomplete predicts the next words of the sentence you are writing, inline, as you type. Use a chat assistant to draft from nothing, a checker to polish, and autocomplete to write your own words with fewer keystrokes. Many people use more than one.
