Grammarly

Proofreading that catches more than a spellchecker.

Grammarly's value is the middle ground between a spellchecker and an editor: it catches agreement errors, awkward phrasing, and tone problems in real time across the browser, desktop apps, and email. The free tier covers correctness. The paid tier adds clarity and tone rewrites, which are useful but tend to flatten distinctive writing if accepted without thought.

Where it falls short

It occasionally suggests changes that are grammatically fine but wrong for your register.
