Grammarly review

The narrowest purchase here and the least likely to sit unused. $12 a month, 2,000 prompts.

Verdict

The narrowest useful purchase here and the one with the lowest chance of sitting unused, because it works where the writing already happens rather than asking anybody to go somewhere. Grammarly publishes Free at $0 with 100 prompts, Pro at $12 per month with 2,000 prompts per member per month, and Enterprise on application with unlimited prompts and what it describes as proactive AI everywhere. For a business whose real problem is that the quotes and the emails read differently depending on who sent them, $12 fixes it this week.

What customers praise

Prompt allowances are stated as numbers rather than as tiers or multiples, which almost nothing else on this page manages, so an owner can work out whether 2,000 prompts a month covers the team before paying. The free tier's 100 prompts is enough to judge the quality. It runs inside the applications people already type in, so adoption does not depend on anybody changing a habit.

What customers criticise

Its ceiling is low by design. It improves how things are written and has no view on whether they should have been sent, and a business with a positioning problem will get a beautifully worded version of the wrong message. Annual pricing is not published on the plans page we read, so the $12 is the monthly rate and any discount for committing is unknown until checkout. The enterprise tier requires a sales conversation, which puts the only unlimited option behind a call.

Best for

A small business where several people write to customers and the writing is uneven, and where nobody will adopt a tool that requires opening a separate window
