WORKS FOR

Content creators and marketers who write daily, teams needing consistent brand voice across communications, non-native English speakers polishing professional writing, customer support teams maintaining quality standards

KEY INSIGHT

Grammarly recently consolidated Premium and Business into a single Pro plan at the old Premium price point. The browser extension is where most value comes from — it follows you everywhere you write. AI suggestions are not always right and can flatten distinctive voice. Best ROI for teams doing high-volume client communication.

DOESN'T WORK FOR

Creative writers who find suggestions strip personality, technical writing with domain-specific jargon Grammarly does not recognize, businesses needing full content generation (it assists writing, not replaces it)

Some of the docs were improved with AI (grammarly to be exact), but I m probably going to go back and rewrite those, I didn t like it.

If it is only to fix grammar and improve conciseness, I find grammarly quite useful.

I don't find that it (defaultly) corrects too far into the ai slop territory. It's mostly just making sure your sentence is correct.

Grammarly’s AI Detector thinks that 17% of it resembles LLM output.

Grammarly seemed pretty dead on arrival the moment they added AI features.

They give you a long list of suggestions, and unless you write a corporate press release half of them are best ignored. The skill is in choosing which half to ignore.

I think many people have used these advanced spellcheckers for years before Chatgpt et al came on the scene.

I was very happy with Grammarly swapping my dashes to em dashes. But now everyone associates em dashes with AI, I can no longer enjoy that luxury.

I use Grammarly because it helps fix speech recognition errors. One of the challenges of speech recognition use is that it is a bit difficult at times to construct grammatically correct sentences in your head.

If AI generated text were well written, would it matter to you? Is it bad to use Grammarly?

I use Grammarly for finding outright mistakes (spelling and the like, or a misplaced comma or something), but I don't listen to any of the suggestions for writing. It feels mechanical and really homogeneous.

I didn't renew this year because I have multiple AI subscriptions, and Grammarly was the least critical of them.

the main advantage of Grammarly was the user experience of having mistakes and suggestions inline and just a click away while editing, as well as the quality of the suggestions.

I always thought of Grammarly as a premium entry into that segment for proper professional writing. Shame it’s going the way of slop.

I've been a long time user of Grammarly. I have used it for most of my books. I've used it as an example of good ux for AI.
