It worked badly, contains lot of misspells, and recently developers just removed free usage. It was 3 of 5 early, now worse then 1/5

it was awesome until they just removed free

This extension established itself at a time when there were few alternatives, giving it a firm market share in its category. But now, when there are a bunch of alternatives to choose from, you decide to put every single feature behind a paywall?

You deserve to make some money out of your work but damn, that is a wild decision.

It was good, but I often had issues with the extension. It was full of bugs. Recently, after accepting changes, it stopped replacing the original text correctly and would basically concatenate the old text with the corrected version.

Now they want to start charging for usage, which is fine— I get it. But at least make the product reliable before asking people to pay for it.

When using any of the non-American English languages, I found that many words are missing. Absolutely bizarre that it doesn't have all the words in from the big dictionaries as a base-line. This was ok when it was free, but I'm not paying for a spell checker that doesn't know what's in the dictionary. You know your AI is slopping it up when Word 97 does a better job.

All predatory capitalist now. No free use, so, bye!!!

No free tiers anymore. Require a premium account, so identification required. And add difficulty to run his own hosted server.

Was great until they wanted to charge a monthly subscription

Major privacy concern. The extension's privacy policy states that it can collect and store text, prompts, chats, files, metadata, IP addresses, usage data, and browsing-related information. It also states that collected data may be used for analytics, service improvement, and AI model training.

I only want a text-correction tool. Sending and retaining this much data is unacceptable for such a basic function, especially when handling potentially sensitive text. EU and especially US users should carefully consider the privacy implications before installing this extension.

Uninstalled because it's no longer free. I don't understand why this would be the case when there are free alternatives. Very disappointing.

Was free for basic functionality, now all features require subscription.

$6 / month for a grammar checker is too much. Seems like the extension is just trying to capitalize on the AI hype. LanguageTool has been a reliable alternative to Grammarly for years, so only docking 2 stars.

Now requires a premium subscription to use.

Locking the browser extension behind a fire wall is a scumy thing to do.

Great free tool until it gave in to greed, will wait for an alternative

Worked great until it didn't. But asking way too much for a spellchecker.
I don't mind paying for things, would have been happy to give £10 for a perpetual license.
But £4 a month?! Taking the piss m8. Uninstalled.

It was great until they wanted money for it. Sorry, but not everyone has $15 they can dish out to all these companies pay walling us. Maybe I would consider if it was cheaper and I had more income, but I don't. BECAUSE OF ALL THE GD SUBSCRIPTIONS to live my life!

Dommage, c'était une très bonne extensions mais devenue payante. Alors que "nos abonnés Premium soutiennent déjà l’essentiel de nos coûts de serveurs"... Sous prétexte de développé des nouveaux outils IA dont personne ne veux...

Desativaram as funções que antes eram de graça.

Spell checker doesn't need to be related to AI. All you do is burn resources and kill the planet. Paying to submit text to AI for spell check is absurd.
