How to Cancel Your Grammarly Subscription & Get a Refund

Let’s play a game of Jeopardy.

Question: “What is hair in your soup, bad hygiene, a cockroach inside your shoe, and errors in spelling and grammar?”

If you answered “Things that put you off,” congratulations! You move to the next round!

Grammarly can’t do anything about the hair in your soup, bad hygiene, or the cockroach, but it can fix the spelling and grammar of your content.

Coming across misspelled words and sentences with grammatical errors is like chewing on ice with a cracked tooth. It’s painful. Now, imagine if it was your content.

Grammarly is an AI-powered writing assistant that tracks spelling and grammar errors and offers suggestions on how to improve style and tone. An estimated 30 million users and 70,000 businesses depend on Grammarly to fine-tune their content.

However, Grammarly is comparatively more expensive than other grammar and spell-checking tools.

Also, as an AI, Grammarly has a problem understanding context.

For example, in the intro, Grammarly might not understand the relationship between “hair in your soup, bad hygiene, a cockroach inside your shoe” and errors in spelling and grammar. Grammarly might suggest a rewrite that makes the statement incoherent.

At the end of this guide, we’ll present a list of alternatives to Grammarly.

Learn how to cancel your Grammarly subscription but keep its free version. Then, use another tool that specializes in improving your writing style.

Can You Proofread Without Premium Grammarly?

Yes! 💯

Once your account has switched back to the free version of Grammarly, you might be worried that your content won’t be 100% mistake-free.

How reliable is the free version?

According to a test conducted by Scribbr, the free version of Grammarly only corrected 11 out of 20 mistakes in its text.

The free version could be better BUT it takes care of half the work. The other half is up to you!

Here are three tips on how to proofread your content without Premium Grammarly.

• Proofread after you complete a section. A 1,000-word blog could have three sections or headings. After you finish writing a section, manually review it for spelling and grammar errors.
• Write in your voice. Writing is a way of communicating with an audience. How would you converse with someone you’ve never met? Lend your voice into your writing style. The reader will have an idea of who the writer is by the way they write.
• Verbalize your content. Don’t just read your content. Recite it. Verbalize each word. How does the phrase sound to you? Get an audience and ask for their feedback.

As we mentioned, Grammarly is an AI. It doesn’t understand context. Just because Grammarly underlines a word or a phrase doesn’t mean it’s correct.

Remember, you’re not writing for Grammarly. You’re writing for a human audience.
