Where each stands

Grammarly

Pros

  • Works nearly everywhere you type, which is a genuinely different experience from a standalone editor
  • Real-time suggestions catch errors before you hit send, not after
  • Free tier covers the core grammar and spelling checking most people actually need

Cons

  • Full generative rewriting and advanced tone features are gated behind paid tiers
  • Suggestions on stylistic choices can be overzealous, flagging intentional phrasing as an error
  • Business and Enterprise pricing is a real step up from the individual plan

Notion AI

Pros

  • Answers are grounded in a team's actual pages, not generic knowledge, which general chatbots can't replicate without setup
  • Removes the need to copy content out to a separate AI tool and back
  • Meeting notes save real time turning a recording into a usable page

Cons

  • Full AI features require the Business plan, not the cheaper Free or Plus tiers
  • Custom Agents bill separately by credit on top of the base subscription
  • Less capable as a general-purpose writing assistant than a dedicated tool built for that job

Which should you choose?

Grammarly is the better fit for:

  • Proofreading emails, documents and social posts as you write them

  • Rewriting stiff or wordy drafts into cleaner prose
  • Holding a whole team's writing to one house style
  • Writing confidently in a second language across every app you use

Notion AI is the better fit for:

  • Summarizing and searching across a team's existing documentation
  • Drafting and editing content directly inside project pages
  • Turning meeting recordings into structured notes
  • Automating multi-step tasks across a workspace with Custom Agents
  • Summarising or classifying every row of a database automatically
