We use this in University, and it's amazing. It makes student life easier, especially for non-native English speakers. I'm a non-native English speaker at university and I use it every day with my assignments. This is because it's the one recommended.
I love the friendly design, it's childish and inviting. I love the font. I love the color. THE NAMING IS WITTY. I love the extension of the web. It helps in a lot of the text boxes found on the web. I love the emoji icon that lets you know if your spellings are correct or if you don't have any grama issues.
I don't like the logo. It's a cliche. And most of the features that are good are on the paid plan, unlike ProWritingAid.

Esteem The way to esteem is utilization, yet it is essential to take note that Grammarly contains a free arrangement level, better than that of ProWritingAid. Be that as it may, with regards to yearly memberships, ProWritingAid costs are altogether lower contrasted with Grammarly Premium. Convenience Both Grammarly and ProWritingAid are truly usable. The Grammarly interface on all applications appears...
For my purposes, Grammarly Premium is worth the effort. The free form is a valuable apparatus, and better than not having a second arrangement of eyes investigate your composing. It will distinguish definitely more spelling and language structure botches than your commonplace free checker. In the event that you're an author on a tight spending plan, have a go at introducing Grammarly and test it for yourself.
Gigantic slacks when altering bigger pieces of text. Acclimatization can set aside time. It doesn't generally work impeccably. Grammarly just works in English.
Hi Robert, Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We especially love hearing that you are finding value in Grammarly Premium! As for your comment about delays in checking your text, we've shared it with our development team. However, if Grammarly takes more than a few seconds to check your text, please contact us at https://gram.ly/3wSqY0D. We'll be happy to take a closer look into this issue for you. Thanks again, Grammarly support team

I used ProWritingAid previously and must say that Grammarly can be best choice if you are just looking for a simple grammar assistant. It is clean and easy to use.
Grammarly is amazing, easy-to-use and powerful writing assistant. I love the synonyms suggestions, punctuation error detections, and writing style guide. Also, the support for different version of English language is appreciable.Furthermore, it comes with an offline tool, chrome extension, and mobile keyword that never leaves you alone to make mistakes.
The punctuation suggestions are sometimes wrong and can be annoying.
Hi Komal, Thanks for your kind words! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. We strive to provide an excellent experience for all users, and comments like this mean a lot to us! Please know that you can send us an example at https://gram.ly/3wSqY0D when you disagree with Grammarly's suggestion, so we can have a team member take a closer look. Thanks again, Grammarly Support team

Grammarly is useful to improve your email messages no matter what you use to write your mails. Compatibility over lots of platforms including the web (through Chrome) and the desktop app makes it a pretty powerful tool for general use. I'm a fiction writer and I use a combination of Grammarly and ProWritingAid as they both catch different grammar mistakes/offer different suggestions
- Integrates with chrome - Improves general grammar, although not perfect. - Double click words to show synonyms (useful feature)
- Doesn't always catch incorrect grammar - Synonym database isn't huge

In editing, a good piece of software makes the work very smooth. In writing, a good piece of software makes the editing process less onerous and extensive. It seemed that Grammarly was going to replace ProWritingAid as my go-to software. But as the shine wore thin, the deficiencies became obvious pretty quickly. And the Data Loss was the last straw.
1. It integrated with the browser 2. It also had a stand-alone client 3. The interface was intuitive 4. The results and statistics were great.
1. The statistics were based on the number of errors shown, not the number of errors corrected 2. The browser interface interfered with typing at times 3. Loss of Data and support was unhelpful

I was very happy with the trial and bought the yearly subscription. The cost vs Grammarly is significantly less and appeared to work close enough to as well. After I started working in it I noticed it didn't catch nearly as much as Grammarly. It will still be helpful for emails and its not even in the league of Grammarly. Yes Grammarly is the big player but their cost is hard to swallow for my simple business email corrections.
-Yearly Cost vs main competitor -Easy to install -Works with web browsers & Microsoft outlook -Customer support
-Missed too many mistakes -It always suggests very simple things that need to be corrected. The AI isn't smart enough, yet, to see it's a closing and not an incomplete sentence. It gives you the ability to ignore the rule, but will it miss a true error then?

The features are nearly the same as Grammarly and some are even better. The pricing is far more affordable as compared to Grammarly Premium.
When using it with Google Docs, the changes aren't applied in real-time but after making all the suggested changes you have to "approve" them and they're implemented after that, which may sometimes be time-consuming.

I have only been using ProWritingAid for 1-day now, and hope my experience improves over time. A install file for Mac users would be highly appreciated as well.
The LinkedIn feature is great, but still not as efficient as Grammarly. However, I appreciate the low CPU consumption by ProWritingAid complared to Grammarly.
The LinkedIn feature is not always accurate and ProWritingAid does not seem to be fully optimised with Gmail. There are many instances where ProWritingAid does not pick up sentence errors and spelling mistakes in Gmail.

I was looking for a grammar check. Recommended Grammarly but very expensive. Found ProWritingAid and loving it as it works perfectly like Grammarly and been loving the software.
The software works exactly like Grammarly. I love it, when it teaches you about the grammar and push you to think differently.
I notice that my Gmail email composing was slow because of the extension, so unfortunately, I have to turned it off.

Lifesaver. Easy to use once downloaded works well with Grammarly.
I love ProWritingAid's flexibility; it gives you the option to add unfamiliar words to your dictionary, and it can ignore expressions you want to keep.
More intelligence, so that the word options it displays are closer to the writer's intended meaning. Curious why I need to sign into a premium to see more editorial options?

I like that it includes more features than Grammarly, such as passive verbs and adverb checks. With Grammarly, you have to pay to get those features, but they are included for free here.
I don't like that when I'm typing an email, if I hover over a word that has been underlined, the box that comes up doesn't go away when I move my mouse, covering most of the rest of my email.

More free features than Grammarly. I like that the software identifies passive voice.
Sometimes after I make a correction it leaves the suggestion bar but over a different part of my writing. Not that big of a deal. But it would be nice to have it fixed.

All that being said, I still feel the plugin is worth it and plan to get the lifetime subscription as soon as my trial is over. Until PRA can sort out its glaring issues above, I have a workaround where I copy the text before saving it — just in case I run into the same issue. However, I can't do anything about the quotation problem; that's on PRA.
This has improved my manuscript significantly—it works right alongside my Grammarly plugin.
Three major issues: 1: When editing a manuscript, if you make any changes at all to any dialogue, ProWritingAid thinks you don't have closing quotation marks. So, you have to delete the quotations and re-do them. Every.single.time. 2. Using ProWritingAid with Fictionary is great, unless you spend three hours editing and polishing the most important scenes in your entire book (over 2,000 words worth), and when you exit the ProWritingAid plugin, and get an error message from Fictionary saying you've been signed out because of inactivity (despite being active for three hours). All of that work — GONE. Nothing saved. This is an issue with the plugin speaking to the site. 3. When I reached out to customer support, I still have not heard back yet (over 48 hours ago).

I had a great experience with the program, even though I switched to Grammarly and Wordtune. I would still recommend it to someone who is looking for an affordable text processor.
You can try it for free to see if it's a good fit for your needs. Google Chrome and Microsoft Word integrate well with the software. It helps me appear more professional in my writing. With this software, you can write fiction, business, academic, or even blog and create content for any purpose. The reporting feature can also help you see your writing habits, so you can adjust them if necessary. I use the readability, pace, and other reports when working on a large article piece.
Apart from the fact that Grammarly and Wordtune are better than it, I don't have anything negative to say about it. While it's great, I could easily replace it with Grammarly and Wordtune. The other tools are just better, so I had to switch from ProWritingAid to them.

Pro Writing - You use Grammarly Guide to practice your grammar. Its moving sample text in Free Grammar Checker Online lets you know what red, blue, and yellow colors mean. You add Desktop Version. You're a business copywriter type of writer.
Pro Writing - You use it easily. You write from scratch or copy and paste your sales copy.
Pro Writing - You write your copy that works more manually.

I like the blog post and information sessions. It gives more suggestions than Grammarly. It's a wonderful investment for writers.
I like the explanations about errors, examples, and the summary details. The summary details can help target your errors. It is an ongoing process.
I guess it doesn't work with Microsoft word because I have the free version. I am not sure if I have to copy and paste the document.

It's the real deal. Makes me a better writer. That's enough for the subscription for me.
It covers many different writing angles at one time. Much better that free options out there and on a level with grammarly etc

I had to jump to grammarly for my day to day tasks. The tool is powerful but complex to use for me.
The tool is really helpful and recommended for the writers with its varied functionalities for spell check, grammar check, style check, and more. There is a lot of features in the tool.
A lot of features make the tool very complex and confusing to use for general users.

I'm new to it but so far it is helpful.
Unobtrusive help flashes up to provide that extra polish you need when writing.
As it is with other software (Grammarly), the algorithm sometimes doesn't understand that some words are idiomatic and not held to the usual grammar standard.

I've used ProWriting Aid for years now and I love it. It's so handy to have the browser extension so I can use it wherever I'm writing anything. Overall I really love this tool
I love that it helps improve my writing in no time at all. The suggestions can help me become a better writer too as I see myself improving over time as I use the tool. I like how it can find over used words and sentences that don't flow correctly and help me to fix them. Generally just helps to improve my writing.
Some of the spelling and grammar suggestions aren't right so I use it with Grammarly free and take suggestions on board but don't accept every one of them.

I highly recommend and use it daily!
I love this program! I use it every single day. The Echoes feature is amazing. I'm always shocked at how many duplicates I have in my books and resumes. I don't give a client a product or release a book without using this program!
Although I love ProWritingAid I also have to have Grammarly because each program catches different errors. It would be nice to have one program the did the work of both.

Not a bad thing to say about ProWritingAid thus far. It's inexpensive, and has helped tune my writing style so I'm faster and more confident about it. With all the tweaking options available (and plug-ability), you're almost never without it. That said, Grammarly has its purpose, and I'd perhaps consider keeping free Grammarly around for its browser-based tool. While I'd advocate using both, if only choosing one I'd opt for ProWritingAid.
I love how ProWritingAid plugs into MS Word and Scrivener, so both authors and other professionals can utilize the power of this service. The price is very affordable, and the features aren't matched by any competitors to my knowledge. It's great to also 'tune' PWA to your writing style, so it doesn't offer irrelevant suggestions. Another cool feature is Plagiarism checks, so if you hire blog content writers, you can check to see if their content is unique. The same is useful for students who want to check their work against internet sources.
While ProWritingAid is great, for some platforms that requires short snippets of content like e-commerce product pages, you may be better off with Grammarly. This is because PWA has more of a 'style' focus rather than 'grammar' focus. Perhaps the ultimate approach is to start with PWA to get your writing style mastered offline, then use Grammarly for browser-based usage when writing emails and short snippets of online content (to not get style suggestions where its superfluous).

ProWritingAid is an essential writing tool for fiction writers. It instantly makes your writing better and helps improve slow pacing, sentence variety, emotion, dialogue, as well as the usual grammar/spelling, it can find find cliches, and detect plagiarism. You can even create your own customized style guide. It is very affordable and worth the money. For blogging, I still use Grammarly and have an annual subscription, as I find it better for non-fiction. Hopefully one day I will switch all of my editing to ProWritingAid and be able to cancel my Grammarly subscription. If I could only recommend one, I'd say go with ProWritingAid for fiction, or Grammarly for non-fiction writing.
I really like that they have a lifetime one-time payment option rather than only a monthly or yearly subscription such as Grammarly. It is great value for money. The software is very versatile and can be used for any type of writing, whether it is fiction, business writing, academic or even blogging and content writing. ProWritingAid also seamlessly integrates with other writing software such as Scrivener, Final Draft, and Google Docs.
The interface isn't as nice as some other software, and the passive voice tool only identifies passive voice, instead of offer suggestions for what to change. Also, with so many reports and tools to select from, it can be a bit overwhelming at times.

For the price, it is a great product. Overall, it is a must for anyone who wants to write well and correctly. I use it in combination with the free version of Grammarly.
Sticky sentences, grammar issues, and Style issues
it flags passive voice mechanically. Some mistakes have bugs in them. If you correct one, then it results in another. If you correct that, the previous error surfaces again. On rare occasions, grammatically wrong suggestions are made.

I'm thinking of restarting my old blog now that I've discovered this product. I'm physically handicapped, which causes lots of typos, "fat finger exercises" and proofreading and making corrections had become a major pain in the butt. I'm also on a tiny fixed income and I need to get it right the first time before a commitment to a monthly payment on anything.
I'm loving the accuracy and ease of use. I had used Grammarly prior and their product had reached the point where it was helping me less with my writing and spending more effort on trying to FORCE me to purchase (ex: I couldn't even add a word to my dictionary without subscribing first). I decided if I would shell out good money for a product of this type; I wanted to check a few more out. Glad I did. So far, PWA beats Grammarly hands down.
So far I have found nothing not to like.
