The real difference
OurFamilyWizard was built in 2001. It's a documentation tool — it records what happened after it happened. Its writing help sits on the $149.99 tier, and ToneMeter's job is to flag your tone as you write. What it does not give you is a place to write the version you would never send.
Civly is different. When you're angry and about to send something you'll regret, Civly catches it, rewrites it, and hands you a calm, factual version to approve before anything is sent. Your vent isn't sent, isn't shown to them, and isn't part of an export. What goes out is the version you approved.
OFW's ToneMeter flags your tone as you write. Civly has no tone score on your profile — the vent is for you, not about you — never sent to them, never in a record you export. That is the comparison. The $149.99 gap is just what it costs to get writing help on their side.
