What is Grammarly?

Grammarly checks and improves writing in place — in your browser, in Word, in email — rather than in a separate window.

What it does well

Catching the errors that make business writing look careless, and adjusting register when a draft is too casual or too stiff.

Who should use it

Anyone who writes to clients daily, and especially people writing in English as a second language.

Who should not use it

Writers with a strong voice who will spend more time rejecting suggestions than accepting them, and anyone who needs drafting rather than editing.

Pros and cons

Strengths

  • Works inside the tools you already write in
  • Low-friction improvement for non-native English writers
  • Free tier covers basic correction properly

Limitations

  • Suggestions flatten distinctive writing if accepted uncritically
  • Not a drafting tool — it improves what you wrote
  • Browser extension has broad access to what you type
