    Ginger Software
    It [Ginger] is a perfect tool for daily work because it has allowed us to create and write better content with exceptional writing and excellent grammar. It has an MS Word add-on [and] our team has used it through a desktop application and mobile. It has proven to be an appropriate platform for all companies; the API has allowed us to deeply review all the grammar, and each document or HTML pages to correct any type of error.

    Cons
    Ginger Software
    • In the Company, we have worked for a year with the application and we have not found fault in it and we like everything that it allows us to do immediately and with great ease since its handling of spelling makes it very efficient, which wakes that our intelligence is better artificially.

    • Performance has been an issue initially. Sometimes it takes longer for some things to load and it can be frustrating.
    • UI seems a bit confusing at times. For example, I don't understand why I need to have a translator's profile when I'm clearly a project manager.
    • Their support team can take a long time to reply which often crucial for urgent projects.

    Have used Grammarly ealrier which is also a good tool available in market. If comparing the cost thing then i believe GInger is a bit costly [Premium/Buisness] version compare to Grammarly. However, In my opinion it is completely dependent on the end user that how comfortable they are while using a software/API like this. For me, Ginger is the first option to use for my learning/writing skills.
