Overall Satisfaction with Grammarly

I use Grammarly in an individual capacity. I use their desktop version. Every single content that I create, be it a marketing asset, website copy, and even important email, gets a Grammarly treatment before it is published. What I realised over time is I have gotten significantly better in my writing and I’m seeing fewer errors that I need to fix.

Pros

  • Grammarly’s free version does a fantastic job in making sure any and all embarrassing mistakes are corrected before your content can be shared with the outside world.
  • The premium version of the product gives the users an opportunity to fix advanced errors.
  • Grammarly’s validation using meta attributes such as tonality, intent, audience etc. is quite unique and makes the content sound right for the audience it is created for.

Cons

  • Grammarly still does not integrate properly in some web apps such as Canva. While there is a way to overcome the limitation by leveraging the desktop version it would be good if this was fixed.
  • The keyboard-based integration in mobile apps is not good. I did not find it very intuitive and free-flowing like the desktop version.
  • The Mac app feels clunky and it could be lighter weight.
  • I have seen 70-75% improvement in content quality and fewer issues in my writing.
  • I almost always do a Grammarly check before I publish/post/email any content that is professional in nature.

Would you buy Grammarly again?

Yes

Grammarly is best suited for people who are in the job of creating professional content, be it email, a blog, website copy. Using Grammarly's editor they can quickly draft the content and fix issues with the help of inline prompts that Grammarly provides. Besides checking for typos and grammatical errors it can also check for things like tone, intent etc. Grammarly offers their solution as third-party keyboard add-on to use in mobile devices. While it is good to have it is not a very good when creating long-form content. Also, it may not be a useful tool when drafting contractual/ legal content.
