LanguageTool
AI-based grammar, spelling, punctuation and style checker with a paraphrasing tool.
LanguageTool is an AI-based grammar, spelling, punctuation and style checker with a paraphrasing tool, available as browser add-ons, macOS and Windows apps, and an API. A free Basic version allows 2,000 characters per text field, and Premium is listed at $12.45 per month billed monthly on its pricing page, shown at a 50% discount at capture. It suits anyone who wants to check grammar across apps.

What LanguageTool does
LanguageTool checks text for grammar mistakes, spelling errors, punctuation, casing and style, including overused phrases, redundant words and word choice. A paraphrasing tool rephrases sentences to be more formal, fluent, simple or concise, and Picky Mode adds advanced punctuation, style and typography suggestions. A personal dictionary and writing statistics are included.
It is built to follow you between apps. Browser add-ons are listed for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera and Safari, and the add-on detects the language you are writing in; the site states the add-on does not store text. There are apps for macOS and Windows, plus add-ons for Google Docs, Word, Apple Pages, LibreOffice, Gmail, Apple Mail and Thunderbird. Developers and companies get a Proofreading API and a business offering described as GDPR-conform.
The free Basic version allows 2,000 characters per text field and 3 A.I. sentence rephrasings per day, with Picky Mode limited. Premium raises the limit to 150,000 characters per text field and adds unlimited paraphrasing. It can be paid monthly, quarterly, annually or every 2 years; at capture every interval was shown at -50%, with the annual option at $34.95 per year.
