Retention traps to expect
- Subscriptions are generally non-refundable, so cancel before your renewal date rather than after it charges you.
- The cancel flow makes you click through a confirmation and pick a reason before it completes.
- If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, Grammarly can't stop the charge — you must cancel in that store's settings.
The bottom line on cancelling Grammarly
Grammarly is straightforward to cancel online at account.grammarly.com under Account then Subscription, and you keep Premium until the end of the current period. The usual trap is money: subscriptions are generally non-refundable except where required by law or for duplicate charges or technical issues, which you have to request through support.
Because you lose nothing by stopping early, cancel before your renewal date rather than after it charges you. If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, cancel in that store's subscription settings — Grammarly cannot stop a store-billed charge for you.

What to use instead of Grammarly
Cancelling usually means you still need the thing. These are the alternatives worth looking at — with the honest downside of each.
LanguageTool
Free tier; Premium from about $5/moBest for: The closest direct swap, especially if you write in more than one language
- Covers 25+ languages, has browser and Word add-ins, and Premium costs a fraction of Grammarly's price.
- The free tier caps how much text you can check at once, and its style and tone suggestions are less polished.
ProWritingAid
From about $10/mo, with a one-time lifetime licence optionBest for: Novelists, thesis writers and anyone editing long documents
- Far deeper reports on pacing, repetition and sentence variety, and the lifetime licence ends subscriptions for good.
- Slower on long documents and a cluttered, report-heavy interface next to Grammarly's clean inline suggestions.
Microsoft Editor (and the checker built into Word)
Free with a Microsoft account; advanced checks included with Microsoft 365Best for: Anyone already paying for Microsoft 365 who was effectively paying twice
- Solid grammar and clarity checks in Word, Outlook and a browser extension at no extra cost.
- Weaker tone and rewrite suggestions, and it works best inside Microsoft apps rather than everywhere you type.
Hemingway Editor
Free in the browser; paid plan for AI rewritesBest for: People whose real problem is dense, over-long sentences rather than grammar
- The free web version instantly exposes passive voice and unreadable sentences — no account needed.
- Barely a grammar checker at all, and there is no browser extension watching as you type elsewhere.
