Some plans are priced per user or per account and others per workspace, so the entry price is not always the price for your team: check the plan limits before switching.

No vendor here states that it lacks a feature Grammarly has. Below, each tool lists the features and numbers it publishes; vendors rarely state what they do not offer, so a feature that is not listed is unknown, not missing.

How we picked

  1. Pool: tools in the same market as the tool on this page (they list its primary category, and their own primary category is one it lists).
  2. Like for like: a tool's cheapest paid plan billed monthly is compared with the cheapest plan billed monthly; if that is not cheaper, its price per month billed annually is compared with the annual price. Monthly and annual prices are never mixed in one comparison.
  3. A free plan counts as cheaper only when the tool on this page has no free plan. Usage-priced and "contact sales" plans are left out.
  4. Saving = the reference price on the same basis minus the alternative's price, per month; the percentage is rounded. Entry plans differ in seats, accounts and limits, so the saving is for the entry plan, not your team.
  5. Sorted by price per month, then name. The page is built only when the tool has a verified paid price and at least 3 tools qualify.

Every value is read from the vendor's own pages (or GitHub for licences and stars) and shown with the date we checked it. A value we could not verify is shown as a dash, never estimated, and never read as a “no”. We did not test these tools hands-on unless a listing says so. Methodology
