Everyone, including professional writers, makes mistakes when writing. Even when you learn the basics, looking for higher-level grammatical and stylistic nuances can be overwhelming. Grammarly, which calls itself writing assistant , can help in these scenarios. This app for writers suggests spelling, grammar, and style changes in real time and can even edit for specific genres. Although its subscriptions are a bit pricey and the service doesn't work offline, Grammarly's support for many platforms and ease of use make up for the cost.
Grammarly costs $12.00 per month, $ 59.95 per quarter or $ 139.95 per year. If the price seems high, know that Grammarly often offers subscription discounts. For the price of entry, you get customized checks for different document types, a plagiarism filter, and a function to help diversify your vocabulary, among other extras. Grammarly also offers a limited free version that checks critical spelling and grammatical errors. Grammarly's business tier costs $$15 per member per month and is billed annually.
Grammarly offers native desktop clients for Windows and macOS; browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge; and a Microsoft Office add-in (now on Mac and Windows platforms). Grammarly can also be used on Android and iOS via a mobile keyboard app.
Additionally, Grammarly supports two other major writing platforms: Google Docs and Medium. Google Docs integration has recently gained new features, which I will discuss in a later section. However, you still need to use the Chrome extension to get the full Grammarly Google Docs experience.
Grammarly checks your writing against its database of content and style errors, as well as anonymously collected data from its daily active users. The downside to this real-time model is that Grammarly requires an internet connection to work. In use, Grammarly highlights critical errors in red (spelling and basic grammar) and advanced errors in other colors (style and best practices), although the latter feature is limited to premium users. Hovering over any of the indicated words or phrases displays the option to correct the error directly or read a more detailed explanation of the error.
I started using Grammarly a lot during testing. You could argue that Grammarly encourages lazy writing, and that's at least partially correct, as some people will take advantage of its thorough checks without bothering to learn from the insight it provides. It's suitable for people actively looking to improve their writing, but still caters to users who aren't aware that they need help. The real value of Grammarly is its ability to highlight your most common mistakes and help you avoid them in the future. I occasionally found real-time edits distracting in my testing and disabled grammar so I could finish typing a thought without being interrupted. Grammarly can be most useful during the proofreading part of your writing process as a final check for errors and inconsistencies.

I had a hard time finding many differences between the free version of Grammarly and the spelling, grammar, and style checker built into the latest version of Microsoft Office. Both correctly identified spelling errors, complicated sentences and incorrect use of grammar. Grammarly's advanced edit checks, which help clean up all the middling grammatical details, suggest alternatives for commonly used words, as well as provide contextual edits for clarity, are highly useful. For example, Grammarly is a proponent of getting rid of unnecessary commas. Another clear benefit of Grammarly is that it works in more places in your workflow.
