Loved this tool until this week. Some how for some reason it keeps thinking I want to write in Spanish instead of English. I found a place to change the language and made it English again. Still everything is in Spanish.

Best spell check ever!

"We've made the difficult decision to limit the LanguageTool browser extension to Premium users only". and with that basis, I have made the very easy decision to remove your extension. Hint: just because 'AI' seems to be in every conversation doesn't mean you have to force fit AI capabilities into a spell checker. Too enamored with technology?

I’ve used LanguageTool for many years and it was a core part of my writing workflow, especially in the browser.
The recent decision to move the browser extension behind a Premium paywall breaks that workflow significantly.
I understand infrastructure costs are increasing, but removing free real-time browser correction makes the tool much less accessible for long-time users.
Keeping the limited free tier (basic grammar/spelling) or offline fallback would make the transition much easier to accept. No, instead LanguageTooler GmbH chose to AI-wash their greedy, money hungry decision.
Goodbye, LanguageTool.
You were a really useful extension.

It USED to be good. But, instead of keeping good code that was effucient to run, the company behind this extension jumped onto the LLM bandwagon, and decided to force the costs of running that power-hungry junk onto the users. $15/month for a spelchekar — no way.

Asking to use a premium account is predatory, just don't use AI.

"The rise of generative AI has made it more challenging to sustainably monetize our offering"
Blame AI all you want, but your extension is not that great, especially for languages other than English.

You're going down the IFTTT path, and no one will need you anymore. Greed will be your undoing.

ok that we can't have everything free, but that price only for a language check? au revoir

14 days left? No, thanks. Already removed.

"We have made the difficult decision to limit the use of the LanguageTool browser extension to Premium users only"

My dyslexia, isn't something I can't opt out of.
However, removing your extension from my browser, is and was the easiest decision I made.

dodatek tylko w wersji płatnej? żenada

Instead of leaving the basic spell check without the useless AI stuff, you've taken everything away. Good luck with your development, and we will find alternatives.

It has been a nice service, respectfull of our privacy, and most of all, free. Unfortunately greed is reaching everywhere, you can use it now as a Premium service, or stop using it, as do it. Since it became unusefull, I'm gonna leave lower the total score, as it was the main drive for me to use it. I would have made a one-time payment IF NECESSARY, we not another subscription. Greed is reaching all the corners of the internet unfortunately.

greed has entered the spelling check.

A difficult decision? $15 a month? Are you actually insane? LOL. Who was the brilliant mind behind that? Uninstalled and never want to see your crappy extension in my way.

Nice way to drive away your user base by pure GREED 🙏

Extension switched to a $15/month subscription service. I don't mind paying a one-time fee for a product I really enjoy, but I refuse to pay for subscriptions.

There's a ton of grammar tools out there, especially now with AI. They don't have the market leverage to milk their users like this.

This will prove to be the worst businesses decision of their lives.

the DIFFICULT decision to throw in more shit and make it premium-only, huh. wonder who asked.

imagine paying a subscription for spell checker lmaoooo. BYE
