Grammarly pricing got simpler in 2026, and more confusing at the same time. The company folded its old Premium and Business plans into one Pro tier, so older pricing you may remember no longer applies. There are now three plans: Free, Pro, and Enterprise.

Pro runs $12 a month on annual billing; the free plan is more useful than most, and the real limits hide in the AI prompt caps and the billing terms. This breakdown covers every current plan, what you get at each tier, and where a cheaper tool might serve you better.

Grammarly pricing plans explained

Three tiers, and the gap between them comes down to AI prompts and team features. Here's what each one gives you.

Free: $0

The free plan is why Grammarly has so many users, and it offers more than most free tiers:

  • Price: $0, no card required
  • Grammar and spelling: Full real-time checking
  • Tone: Detection (see how your writing reads)
  • AI prompts: 100 per month
  • Works: Browser extension, desktop, mobile, docs

For students, casual writers, and anyone who wants clean grammar and spelling, Free covers it. The 100 AI prompts sound generous until you use the generative features daily. 

Every rewrite, reply, and "make this sound professional" request counts against the total, and heavy editing can drain it in a few working days. 

Pro: $12/month

Pro is Grammarly's main paid tier, and it now absorbs everything the old Premium and Business plans used to split.

  • Price: $12/member/month billed annually, $20/member/month billed quarterly, or $30/member month-to-month
  • AI prompts: 2,000 per member per month
  • Rewrites: Full-sentence rewrites, tone adjustment, fluency
  • Checks: Plagiarism detection and AI-text detection
  • Team features: 1 style guide, 1 brand tone, up to 149 members
  • Trial: 7-day free trial

At $12 a month on annual billing, Pro is priced to compete, and for a daily writer it earns back the cost in editing time saved. The 2,000-prompt allowance is comfortable for solo use (most people never come close to it). 

The style guide and brand tone features are what sell it to small teams: define your rules once and every writer follows them. 

The catch is the monthly rate. Paying month to month costs $30, 2.5 times the annual price, so occasional users pay a steep premium for flexibility.

Enterprise: Custom pricing

Enterprise is quote-based and aimed at organizations of 150 or more.

  • AI prompts: Unlimited per member
  • Security: SAML SSO, SCIM, BYOK encryption, data loss prevention
  • Admin: Custom roles, domain controls, audit logs, cost center visibility
  • Team: Unlimited style guides and brand tones, ROI reporting
  • Support: Dedicated

Enterprise now runs through Superhuman Go, the proactive AI layer from Grammarly's parent company. If your requirements include security review, SSO, and centralized admin across a large team, this is the tier the sales team points you to.

What really drives your Grammarly cost

The headline price is only part of it. Two things decide what you spend and whether the plan chafes.

AI prompt caps are the ceiling most people hit first:

  • Free: 100 prompts/month, enough to test the AI, gone in days if you lean on it.
  • Pro: 2,000 prompts/member/month, comfortable for individuals, tight for a team hammering AI rewrites on long-form.
  • Enterprise: Unlimited, the only tier with no cap.
  • No top-ups: Grammarly doesn't sell overage prompts, so running out means waiting for the monthly reset or upgrading.

Billing terms catch people off guard:

  • Monthly costs 2.5x annual: $30/month vs $12/month on the annual plan.
  • Annual is charged upfront: $144 for the year in one payment.
  • Auto-renewal is aggressive: Users have repeatedly flagged a narrow cancellation window and renewal charges landing without warning. Set a reminder before your renewal date.

Which Grammarly plan is right for you

Plan Best for Skip if
Free Casual writers who need grammar, spelling, and tone checks You want rewrites, plagiarism checks, or team features
Pro Daily writers, students, and teams up to 149 You only write occasionally and can't justify $30 monthly
Enterprise Organizations of 150+ needing SSO, security, and admin control You're a solo user or small team

For most individual writers and small teams, Pro on annual billing is the plan that makes sense. Free works if you only need error-checking, and Enterprise is overkill unless you're managing security and compliance across a large org.

Is Grammarly worth it in 2026?

For a daily writer, Pro pays for itself in editing time, and the jump from 100 to 2,000 AI prompts makes the upgrade land. Its grammar and tone suggestions are still among the best in the category.

The main thing to watch is billing. The annual plan charges a full year upfront and renews on its own, so cancel before the renewal date if you're not continuing. 

Grammarly vs alternatives

Grammarly polishes writing you've already produced. If your need is different, cheaper or better-fit Grammarly alternatives exist.

Tool Starting price Best for
Grammarly $12/mo (annual) Grammar, tone, and editing across every app
Wordtune $6.99/mo (annual) Quick phrasing for short-form content
ProWritingAid $10/mo annual ($120/yr), $399 lifetime Long-form and fiction; deep style reports
HyperWrite $16/mo (annual) Drafting new content in your own voice

ProWritingAid runs deeper on style analysis and offers a lifetime license Grammarly has never matched, though its free plan caps you at 500 words per check, so it suits authors and long-form writers who want more than grammar fixes. If you're weighing depth of reports against everyday ease, our ProWritingAid vs Grammarly breakdown goes tier by tier.

Wordtune is the cheaper pick for quick rephrasing on short-form writing, starting at $6.99/month on annual billing. If rewording sentences is most of what you need, our Wordtune vs Grammarly vs HyperWrite comparison shows where each tool fits and where a drafting co-pilot pulls ahead. 

HyperWrite is a drafting co-pilot, not an editor, so it competes for a different part of your workflow than Grammarly, ProWritingAid, or Wordtune. If your slow point is getting words onto the page rather than polishing them, that's the one to look at.

When a drafting tool fits better than an editor

Grammarly and tools like it improve writing that already exists. None of them help with the blank page. If drafting is the slow part, a writing co-pilot makes more sense than an editor. HyperWrite starts at $16/month on its annual Premium plan.

Personas learn your style from past writing, so drafts come out in your voice. Its TypeAhead tool is a context-aware writing co-pilot that works across every browser tab, drawing on your other open tabs to suggest your next line wherever you write.

Grammarly and HyperWrite solve different halves of the same problem. HyperWrite gets the first draft out of your head, and Grammarly polishes it once it's on the page. Draft in HyperWrite, edit in Grammarly, and you've covered the whole workflow.

Still staring at a blank page while Grammarly waits for words you haven't written? Try TypeAhead free with the HyperWrite Chrome extension and watch it draft in your voice.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Grammarly cost?

Grammarly costs $12/month for Pro on annual billing, or $30/month billed monthly. The Free plan is $0, and Enterprise is custom-priced for larger organizations. There's also a quarterly Pro option at about $20/month.

Is Grammarly Pro worth it?

Grammarly Pro is worth it if you write every day. The full-sentence rewrites, tone adjustment, plagiarism detection, and 2,000 AI prompts save enough editing time to justify $12/month on annual billing. For occasional writers, the free plan usually covers the need.

Does Grammarly still have a Business plan?

Grammarly no longer has a separate Business plan. In 2026, it folded Premium and Business into one Pro plan that covers both individuals and teams up to 149 members. If you're comparing an older Business tier, it no longer exists on its own.

How many AI prompts does Grammarly give you?

Grammarly gives 100 AI prompts a month on Free and 2,000 per member on Pro. Enterprise removes the cap entirely. Grammarly doesn't sell prompt top-ups, so running out means waiting for the reset or upgrading.

Is the Grammarly Free plan good enough?

The Grammarly Free plan is good enough for basic writing. It covers real-time grammar, spelling, tone detection, and 100 AI prompts a month. You'd upgrade to Pro for rewrites, plagiarism detection, and team features, but for catching everyday mistakes, Free holds up.
