Do Grammarly Premium features win over free ones? Let’s have a look!
It’s obvious that Grammarly is the most well known writing-enhancement platform, and grammar checker. As well as the most popular proof reading tool today.
And no doubt, their free version pales in comparison to the premium version, which is “success at a low-price” according to this article on the Grammarly blog.
But there are also those who are fine with free features.
Grammarly Premium VS free comparison;
Grammarly checks for; | Free | Premium |
Spelling | YES | YES |
Basic grammar | YES | YES |
Plagiarism (details) | NO | YES |
Advanced grammar (details) | NO | YES |
Vocabulary suggestions (details) | NO | YES |
Genre-specific styles (details) | NO | YES |
As you can see, free accounts are limited to basic spelling and grammar checks.
It doesn’t mean that it isn’t good value. Still the spell checker is probably better than the one that comes ready with your OS, and the grammar feature will still be very useful for non-advanced writers. If blogging is just a hobby for example.
Other Grammarly Premium features worth considering;
- Write, save & check all your documents in the Grammarly cloud, where you can access your writings with multiple devices.
