Grammarly
Freemium Writing
A writing checker that fixes spelling and grammar wherever you type: in your browser, in documents, and on your phone keyboard.
What it is
A writing checker that fixes spelling and grammar wherever you type. It works through a browser extension, a desktop app, and a mobile keyboard, and it also shows the tone of your writing.
Pricing model
Freemium. Free with an account. Full-sentence rewrites, plagiarism checks, and AI detection are paid only (no prices stated in the article).
What the free plan gives you
- Spelling and grammar checks
- The tone of your writing shown to you
- Browser extension, desktop app, and mobile keyboard
- 100 AI prompts a month (one prompt is one request you type to the AI, such as “make this paragraph shorter”)
Free-plan limitations
- Full-sentence rewrites are paid only, so the free plan fixes errors but does not rewrite whole sentences for you
- Plagiarism checks and AI detection are paid only (plagiarism means copying someone else's words or ideas without credit)
- The 100 AI prompts run out fast if you use them every day
