Yes, Grammarly has a free plan with no card and no end date, covering spelling, grammar, tone detection and 100 AI prompts a month. Full-sentence rewrites, plagiarism and AI detection sit in Pro, which is $30 if you pay monthly. The $12 on the pricing page is the annual plan, $144 up front.

Stay on the free plan if you want typos and grammar slips caught where you type and ask the AI for a rewrite a few times a day at most.

Pay for Pro if you rewrite whole sentences daily or must check work for plagiarism, and you will commit to a year, because month to month costs two and a half times as much.

Skip it if you do not want your writing used to train models, which is on by default on the free plan and on individual Pro until you switch it off.

Grammarly pricing, on their own page

what the free plan includes

what it leaves out

the catchYour writing is the price. Grammarly's training control is on by default for Free and individual Pro accounts, and off by default only on plans bought through its sales team, so paying $144 a year does not change it. The toggle is in your account privacy settings.

What the Grammarly free version does

It proofreads. Grammarly's plans page gives the free plan three lines: write without spelling and grammar mistakes, see your writing tone, and generate text with 100 AI prompts.

Everything that changes a sentence instead of correcting it is under Pro. For a second pair of eyes on email, free is the whole product. For an editor, it is a demo.

Is Grammarly AI free? Yes, for 100 prompts a month

Yes, with a hard cap. Free accounts get 100 generative AI prompts a month. Grammarly's help page counts one prompt each time you type in the prompt field or click a ready-made suggestion such as "Improve it", so the buttons spend your allowance too.

At zero, you see how many days are left until the refill, next to an upgrade button. The refill is not on the first of the month. It follows the day AI was first switched on in your account.

The Grammarly free trial is for Pro, and it wants a payment method

The free plan is not a trial and never expires. The trial is seven days of Pro, shown on the plans page as "$0 payment today" with an email reminder two days before it ends.

Two details from Grammarly's help pages. Trials are offered "periodically", so you may not see one. And Grammarly puts a temporary pending charge on your card to validate it, which becomes the real charge unless you cancel.

Grammarly for students: free plan, or half off Pro

Grammarly itself gives students no free Pro. Its student page leads to the same free plan as everyone else. The official discount is 50% off Pro for eligible students, verified through SheerID, "for a limited time" and valid for one subscription period only, so expect to renew at full price.

It does not apply to App Store or Google Play purchases. Ask your school first, since Grammarly also sells an Education plan to institutions.

Grammarly: quick answers

How much is Grammarly Pro?

$30 billed monthly, $60 quarterly or $144 annually on grammarly.com. The parent company's site lists Superhuman Pro, which includes Grammarly, at $15 billed monthly. We have not bought both to compare, so check both checkouts before paying monthly.

Is the Grammarly plagiarism checker free?

Partly. The checker on Grammarly's website tells you for free whether it found plagiarism. Highlighting the passages that need a citation is the paid part.

Is the Grammarly AI checker free?

The web version is. Paste text into Grammarly's AI detector page and you get a score without signing up. The AI Detector agent, with phrase-level analysis, comes with Pro.

Is Grammarly Pro worth it?

Only on the annual plan, and only if you would use the rewrites daily. Pro adds sentence rewriting, tone changes, plagiarism and AI detection and 20 times the AI prompts.
