The report card
Best for a quick no-cost grammar check in the browser
GrammarCheck.net is a browser page that checks spelling, grammar and punctuation at no cost. The site says its checks don't guarantee accuracy, text may be sent to a third-party API provider, and it has no extension or Word add-on.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | $0 for the whole editor, with no paid plans. |
| Free plan and trial | A | The online editor, Free Check and Deep Check are free, with no paid plans listed. |
| Features | C | Spelling, grammar and punctuation, readability stats, a flow score and writing goals. It does that job fully, but it's a smaller one than a full assistant. |
| Ease of use | B | No rating on record, but paste text into a web page with nothing to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no extension, app or add-in listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
