Grammarly alternatives
Grammarly: AI writing assistant for grammar, tone and clarity. Freemium, running on Web, Chrome extension, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android.
Every tool here shares a category with Grammarly. For each: what it costs against Grammarly, where it runs, and the one claim its own listing makes that Grammarly's does not.
Where Grammarly runs out of road
A writing assistant that checks grammar, spelling, tone and clarity everywhere you type, from a browser extension and desktop app to direct integrations with Google Docs and Microsoft Word.
Grammarly's own listed limits, in its words:
- 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
