Is grammarly.com Safe?

Grammarly is a spelling and grammar checking tool. I have been using it for about 6 months now, and have not had any safety issues with the site. They do send a few emails if you sign up, but you can turn it off or control when and what they mail to you.

In my opinion this is one of the best grammar checking websites/plug in. You can either only use the website where you upload your text and it corrects it or install the plug in which will check every text you write on any page and will tell you if there is anything wrong. It has a free option and a premium one too. I recommend it to everyone who writes fast or who is not an English native as grammar mistakes can occur anytime.

This site promotes a Chrome browser plug-in for checking spelling and grammar, however, once installed, tracks the user and gradually begins a campaign of promoting unwanted services and gradually disables its function so as to push the user into signing up for one of their plans. Deleting the plug-in causes a pop-up page to appear too that begs more information. This is coercive and misleading marketing that is borderline fraud.

So, Grammarly as a company and a website has no doubt as to being legitimate. It has won major tech awards and been reviewed by major publications. Whether or not one finds the product worth the arguably pricey package plans is not really the point here -- nor is the fact that their transparent and clear language in privacy policy that they collect non-identifiable information from the services the same as nefarious tracking. It is consistent with every other extension, add-in, online/freemium/cloud product/platform. I personally find the premium service worthwhile, it seems they're pricing for enterprise/education rather than for individuals but I guess that's they're call. There are free and comparable versions of this product, such as AftD (after the deadline).

Don't know what people talk here about malware and others nasty things. I can tell as a usual user of their software and a customer. It is really great service with strong and useful algorithms for grammar errors checking and correction. I don't know an analog. I have only positive experience working with them and can say only: "Thank you guys, for creating this service!"
