by WildernessFamily, 6 months agoAbsolutely no warning. They disable and remove the extension saying you must pay for it now. I go to check the pricing...$20.00 a MONTH!!!!! Are you insane. Grammarly is hundreds of times better and it's only $12.99 a month. Can you say the word bankruptcy! The employees of LanguageTool...time to go looking for a new job! Oh...and get this. The announcement says you must pay for it now. You click on it and it says it's $24.99 a month. You go directly to the site and it's $19.99 a month. They are charging an addition $5.00 to the people that have used their product for years. They did EVERYTHING wrong. No coupons on saying thanks for using our product. A discount for saying, hey, we get this comes as a surprise. This should help for a few months. Instead, they charge the users MORE!!!!

- Rated 1 out of 5by June, 11 hours agoWent from being a wonderful tool to now only usable if you're a premium user. It's a terrible change no matter the reason. I will be uninstalling and finding another spell checker.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Maka, 2 days agoC'est devenu payant... je désinstalle et je retourne en mode gramanazi.
- Rated 1 out of 5by bbeeohazardd, 2 days agoWas great until it forced me on a "premium trial" without even notifying me and then wouldn't even let me go back to the regular version and I was forced to uninstall. Real scummy.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Golfy, 3 days agoI know that open source don't means free/gratis. But I dislike the way this product become less acurate in the time and how marketing justify why browser plugin will be a premium functionnality. As a teacher, I was advising my students to use it... now, I'll advise them to use Grammalecte.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14337437, 3 days agoThey want me to upgrade to premium so that I can still use it. I don't do subscriptions tho. Good riddance then.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20083741, 3 days agoI've been a big fan of this one for a few years but seeing that they've made it a paywalled extension. a SUBSCRIPTION, at that. I am now looking for a new grammar and spell checker.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Tsaghira, 4 days agoThe extension itself works great. My rating is based on the fact that they are switching entirely to being a paid service only. I will be removing the extension.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 6772518, 4 days agoI rarely need a grammar checker these days, but I have found almost all of the suggestions I get in "picky" mode — particularly when I am writing something a bit more formal than a text — very reasonable. The fact that I probably "only" use about 10-20% of them should be taken in the context that I have used other grammar/spell checkers and rarely take their suggestions at all!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Sérgio Henrique S P, 4 days agoRealmente a extensão é ótima, mas, agora, ficou paga, após 14 dias de uso. Ainda não tem outra aqui no Firefox, mas já tem para Chrome.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Pitt, 6 days agoAfter years of using this free open-source tool, it’s sad to see it suddenly locked behind a mandatory paywall.
This is a textbook definition of "enshittification"!
Thanks for the good years, and good luck. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19668763, 6 days agoLa version gratuite était tres bien. Mais ils ont décidé de mettre un place un paywall. Bref je déconseille.
