Frequently Asked Questions

Q1Is Grammarly Free good enough?

Grammarly Free catches most grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. Premium adds clarity improvements, tone detection, full-sentence rewrites, word choice suggestions, and plagiarism detection. For everyday writing, Free is sufficient. For professional or academic work, Premium adds significant value.

Q2Can I get a Grammarly refund?

Grammarly offers refunds on a case-by-case basis. Contact support within a few days of being charged. Annual plan refunds are more commonly granted if you haven't used the service much since renewal.

Q3Does Grammarly sell my writing data?

Grammarly states it does not sell user data. However, your text is processed on Grammarly's servers for analysis. If data privacy is your primary concern, a fully on-device solution avoids this entirely.

Q4What's the best free alternative to Grammarly?

LanguageTool is the closest free alternative with an open-source core. Apple's built-in writing tools in macOS and iOS now include grammar checking. Google Docs also has built-in grammar suggestions. None are as comprehensive as Grammarly Premium, but they cover basics well.
