Big changes are coming to the AP style-checking tools on Nov. 21:
- We will retire the AP Lingofy name, and our tools for Word, Outlook and browsers will all be branded as AP StyleGuard.
- Under that unified StyleGuard name, all the tools will share common features, including your custom entries. If you have added rules for our browser checker, those will now follow you to Word or Outlook, if you subscribe to those tools, as well. The way you check for potential style errors will look the same across platforms, too.
- We will simplify the product suite so new subscribers will only need to choose between the Microsoft Office bundle or browser bundle. We're adding proofing for PowerPoint as part of the Office package. Subscribers who use StyleGuard for Word or Outlook will get access to the full Office bundle this fall at no additional cost.
Existing subscribers can renew at our old prices before the relaunch. Rates are going up on Nov. 21.
If you renew before Nov. 21, you will add a year to your existing subscription, no matter when your expiration date is.
If you are an existing Lingofy subscriber and would rather wait until after Nov. 21 to renew, you have a few options to save:
- Through the end of 2024, you can renew your current product choice at a 10% price increase from existing rates. You will enjoy the new features at a lower price than new subscribers.
- Starting in 2025, you can select one or both of the new products – the Office bundle or browser bundle – and you'll get a 10% discount off those the new rates as a renewing customer.
