Which grammar checker should I use?

Google Docs and Microsoft Word already check spelling and grammar for free, so for most people the question is what to use everywhere else. Grammarly is the most complete: the free plan fixes spelling and grammar mistakes, and Plus is 392 INR a month per member billed annually. LanguageTool is the best alternative: it has a free tier, its checker is open source for 25+ languages, and it can run on your own server, which also makes it the pick for anyone who wants rule-based checking rather than AI rewriting. QuillBot's free plan fixes basic grammar alongside its paraphraser, with Premium at $8.33 a month billed annually. Any free AI assistant will proofread a pasted paragraph too, but it tends to rewrite more than you asked. Browser checkers send what you type to their servers, so switch them off for confidential text. Rule: the built-in checker for documents, Grammarly free for everything else, LanguageTool if you want it self-hosted.
