⚡ Quick verdict

Grammarly is still the easiest way to catch mistakes and polish writing across every app you use. The free plan handles grammar and spelling well; Pro at $12 per month (billed annually) adds full-sentence rewrites, tone adjustments and 2,000 AI prompts, which is worth it for heavy writers. Avoid monthly billing at $30. For long-form AI drafting, a chatbot like ChatGPT or Claude does more.

Key takeaways

  • Free plan covers grammar and spelling for mistake-free writing.
  • Pro: $12/member/month billed annually ($144/year), $60 quarterly or $30 monthly.
  • Pro adds full-sentence rewrites, tone adjustment and 2,000 AI prompts.
  • Enterprise, delivered through Superhuman Go, adds unlimited AI prompts, roles and permissions, and data loss prevention.
  • Grammarly Pro replaces the old Business plan and supports up to 149 seats.

What Grammarly is

Grammarly is an AI writing assistant that checks your writing as you type—in your browser, email, documents and chat apps—and suggests fixes for grammar, spelling, punctuation, clarity and tone. Over the years it has added generative AI, so it can also rewrite whole sentences, adjust tone and draft text from prompts.

Grammarly is now part of Superhuman, a suite of AI tools that includes Superhuman Go, Grammarly, Coda and Superhuman Mail. For organizations, Grammarly is delivered through Superhuman Go with proactive AI that works in every app and tab.
