Grammarly is indeed the best Grammar checker tool only. An in-depth review is made on the software which is as under:
Grammarly Review | Accuracy
Grammarly can be used in almost all my daily writing work for over one year and got the sense of its helpfulness in terms of sorting out my grammatical errors. Grammarly easily sorts basic errors including comma and spelling mistakes, which are the most repeated type of errors in drafting a document. Grammarly outperforms Microsoft Word free grammar checker in terms of correcting and detecting issues. The investment which you’ll make in this software is absolutely necessary if you are concerned with your writing errors and want to fix them forever.
The demo document is used to check the accuracy of the Grammarly software and the snapshot of the results obtained is shown below:
As you see there were five mistakes which I made while writing the document and these were the errors highlighted by the Grammarly free version. But these were not the only errors, you can check the below snapshot to see the other high-level errors in the document:
There were 18 alerts and 13 further errors which can be sorted out by switching the software to the Grammarly PREMIUM version.
So the basic grammatical errors can be removed with the usage of Grammarly free version, but if you want to rectify almost all the grammatical errors from the document, then you must switch to PREMIUM plan.
Grammarly offers a free version, which is somehow useful to remove the basic grammatical errors, but the company wants you to upgrade towards the features which you are missing. The free version also gets you the feel regarding the other issues in the work. Grammarly wants you to upgrade the plan to premium in order to fully utilize the benefits offered by the company.
Recommendation: Don’t install Grammarly if you don’t have any plans to upgrade to PREMIUM because they’ll continuously remind you to upgrade the package for fully use their services and definitely PREMIUM service is far better than the free one offers by the company.
Once you’ve signed up for the free version, Grammarly begins sending you emails for discounts on the premium plan, so I also recommend waiting for those before you upgrade to the full price option.
Grammarly Review | Editing
There is the need of enabling the session when the bigger document is composed and you want to fix it via Grammarly. I also did the same while testing the editing functionality of the tool. Grammarly highlights the error with the underline and also suggests the replacement word with the explanation. I find it extremely helpful for my own understanding and it also improves the sentence structure. Grammarly functions like reminders and it’s not well-versed to learn grammar and punctuation.
There is the option available to upload the document in the free version of Grammarly and you can check it in the snapshot taken below:
When you log in to your free account, there will be 3 buttons appear on the top left sidebar vertically and I selected the middle one as highlighted by yellow to upload the document. After uploading the document, Grammarly showed me the “Set goals” approach in which I selected the tags according to which I want Grammarly to analyze my document.
In this, you’ll get the most accurate and relevant corrections for the specific writing situation if you’ll switch to the PREMIUM plan.
You can see in the above snapshot that the free version of Grammarly even offers suggestions with the alerts regarding the basic mistakes in the writing. There are 123 alerts which I corrected using the free version of Grammarly, but, you see there are more than 175 further errors in the document which can only be fixed if I switched to the PREMIUM plan.
The conclusion here is that Grammarly corrects 50% of the errors from the document when you are using the free version. So the best way to correct and fix all the grammatical errors in the work is to use Grammarly PREMIUM.
The premium version offers infinite benefits with one of them regarding the weekly status updates which will let you know about your performance. The updates will also tell you about the total words which you have checked in a week with the tops errors which you have made.
With Grammarly, it’s best to wait until you finish composing before you check for errors. Even though it is better at checking your work as you go than any other program, there’s a lag in its ability to register when you’re fixing typos on your own. As such, you’ll want to wait to click through the review rather than try to edit within the text box or digital document.
Grammarly Review | User Interface
There are 3 main browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari) on which Grammarly works fine when you are using it online. The main factor which attracts most of the users is its user interface which makes it extremely easy for everyone to use the tool.
You can see that there is the left sidebar which offers Account Setting, Apps, Premium Packages and Logout option. On the main screen, you see there is the enabling Grammarly button which will help you to integrate your Grammarly with Gmail, Twitter, and Microsoft Office. Whereas, if you have documents in bulk and you want to revert back to any particular document, there is a search toolbar which will assist you in locating the document.
Grammarly marks the errors with red underline which is fairly easier to see and rectify. The application of Grammarly is not intrusive, unlike other grammar checking tools.
Grammarly user interface is dependent on the two different offerings which include:
- Browser Extension (Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox)
- Grammarly Editor (Web App)
Browser Extension: It is the most awesome feature of Grammarly in which the user can start using Grammarly without bothering the signup process. The user in this manner is also saved from providing any personal information (though Grammarly claims the privacy to be 100% secure) but still the user can use Grammarly with no hassle because of their browser extension. The feature of guest checkout definitely assisted in the e-commerce industry to drive more sales which ultimately results in driving more revenue. Grammarly works in the similar manner on their browser extension and it definitely assisted them in growing their user base rapidly. With the free version of the Grammarly, you can get yourself familiar with the tools and its accuracy. After that, you can definitely switch to their premium plan.
Grammarly Editor: The Grammarly Editor is simple to use and all the settings can be managed while working online and it also saves your documents in their database. Grammarly company is also offering an android application which will assist in checking the grammar with considerable easiness.
Grammarly Review | Customization
There are two options from which you can select your genre and these are related to British or American English. It is extremely helpful because there are different tones can be used while writing for different audiences, and it’s helpful that Grammarly can adapt to various types of projects.
You can also easily ignore the suggestions which the software itself offers as sometimes there are wrong suggestions by the software and you can review them before updating it with the software. This is the rare case and usually happens 0.001 times. There is an option of adding words in the dictionary and it is useful in case if you are using any rare term for an internal audience.
Grammarly Review | Pricing
Grammarly offers many additional functions as compared to its peers but we find it a bit pricey as well. For the premium version, it costs $29.95 monthly but if you pay upfront for the whole year, it will give you an instant discount of $18.29 and you’ll only be charged with $11.66 per month.
Recommendation: If you are a seasoned writer or student, go for a yearly plan. It’ll save your pocket with the amount of $220 annually. You can always start with the monthly version and then switch towards the yearly package as there is no such restriction in the offerings.
If you are running a team of writers, there is the business version as well which will let your 3 members’ access to the Grammarly business account with the cost of just $15 per month.

There are the searchable FAQ pages in case you are not able to find the answer which will then lead you towards submitting a ticket. The Grammarly service usually responds within a day and I tested it in business hours which resulted in getting the response in 15 minutes from the team.
