Quick verdict
Grammarly is helpful for polishing everyday English, especially when you want explanations across several apps. It is an assistant, not an editor of record: suggestions can change meaning, flatten personal style or be wrong in specialist writing.
What it offers in 2026
Grammarly works through mobile apps, browser integrations and desktop tools. It checks spelling, grammar, clarity and tone, while paid and business tiers add more advanced suggestions and generative AI allowances. Mobile behaviour differs by operating system and app permissions.
Main features
- Spelling, grammar and punctuation suggestions
- Clarity, tone and rewriting assistance
- Cross-app mobile writing support
- Document editor and account syncing
- Generative AI features with plan limits
Pricing and fees
A free tier covers basic assistance. Paid pricing and AI allowances change by country, billing period and promotion; check Grammarly’s live plans page before subscribing. Teams should review business controls separately.
Limitations and risks
Text must be processed for suggestions, so review privacy and data settings before using it with confidential, legal, medical, unpublished or client material. Never accept a rewrite without checking facts, names, citations and intended tone.
Who is it best for?
Best for people who write frequently in English and will review suggestions critically. It offers less value when device-native checks already meet your needs.
Our practical recommendation
Check the live checkout, permissions and cancellation terms on your own device. Use the free tier, trial or shortest plan first where possible, and keep transaction records for paid services.
