What it is
Grammarly checks spelling, grammar, clarity and tone as you type in the browser, desktop apps, mobile keyboard, Word and Google Docs. Pro adds full-sentence rewrites, plagiarism and AI-text detection, and 2,000 generative AI prompts a month. It is now part of Superhuman, alongside Coda, Superhuman Mail and the Superhuman Go assistant.
Latest: Grammarly's parent company renamed itself Superhuman in October 2025 and added the Superhuman Go assistant to the Grammarly extension.
