What works
- Works in almost any text field on the web

- Focused on English only
- AI generation feels bolted on
Bottom line
Should you use Grammarly?
Install the free version everywhere; upgrade to Premium if you ship long-form content weekly. For teams, Grammarly Business is worth it for shared style guides alone.
