| Price we checked | Free plan, with 100 generative AI prompts a month on the plans page. Pro is $30 per member per month, or $12 per member per month when billed annually at $144 a year. Grammarly's plans page leads with the $12 figure; the support article spells out the monthly rate. | A free Basic plan. Premium is €19.90 per month, €39.90 per quarter, €59.89 per year, or €99.90 for two years. Those figures are from LanguageTool's help article updated March 24, 2026, and they include VAT. |

- They check a draft you already have. Grammarly's paid plans add rewrites. You still need to read the result.
- Why is LanguageTool's price in euros?
- That is how the official help article listed it. This site does not convert euros to dollars.
- Is the Grammarly monthly price the annual average?
- The listing says the lower figure is the annual average, not the month-to-month bill. Read the full listing before you pay.
- Are these affiliate links?
- No. Both buttons go to the official sites.
