So I wrote this article back in 2020 comparing Grammarly Premium and Business. And honestly? Most of that information is useless now.
Grammarly overhauled their entire pricing structure in late 2024. Premium got rebranded to Grammarly Pro. The Business plan? Gone. Absorbed into something called Pro for Teams and Enterprise.
Oh, and they stuffed generative AI into everything. Even the free plan.
If you landed here searching for the old Premium vs Business comparison, stick around. I’ve completely rewritten this guide to reflect what Grammarly actually looks like in 2026.

How Grammarly’s Plans Have Changed
For those of you who remember the old system, here’s what happened:
| Old Plan Name | New Plan Name |
|---|---|
| Free | Free (now with 100 AI prompts/month) |
| Premium | Pro |
| Business (3+ users) | Pro for Teams (2-149 users) |
| Enterprise | Enterprise (150+ users) |
Same basic idea, different packaging. The real difference is that AI features now come standard across every tier. That changes things.
What Is Included in Grammarly Free?
The free version used to be pretty bare bones. Grammar checks, spelling corrections, and not much else.
Now? Grammarly threw in 100 AI prompts per month. That means you can actually use their generative features without paying anything.
What you get:
- Grammar, spelling, and punctuation fixes (the basics)
- Tone detection
- 100 generative AI prompts monthly
- Browser extension, desktop app, mobile keyboard
- Some conciseness suggestions (though not the full set)
Is 100 prompts enough? Depends. If you’re just fixing the occasional email, sure. But I burned through my free prompts in about a week when I was testing it. Writers who rely on AI assistance daily will hit that wall fast.
What Is Included in Grammarly Pro?
This is where most people should start looking. Grammarly Pro (what they used to call Premium) covers individual writers and small teams who need more than the basics.
Writing tools:
- Advanced grammar corrections with explanations for why something’s wrong
- Full-sentence rewrites
- Vocabulary suggestions
- Tone shifting (formal to casual, confident to friendly, etc.)
- Fluency help for non-native speakers
AI features:
- 2,000 prompts per month (way more breathing room)
- Compose: give it a prompt, get a draft
- Rewrite: highlight text, get alternatives
- Ideate: stuck on structure? It’ll brainstorm with you
- Reply: auto-generates email responses
- My Voice: the AI learns how you write over time
Other stuff:
- Plagiarism checker
- Citation suggestions
- Goal setting for different audiences
- Writing stats
That 2,000 prompt limit matters. I’ve been using Pro for a few months now, and I’ve never come close to hitting it. For solo writers, it’s plenty.
What Is Included in Grammarly Pro for Teams?
Running a content team? Managing multiple writers? Pro for Teams (2-149 users) bundles everything from the individual plan plus collaboration tools.
The team-specific additions:
- Style guides: set rules for how your brand writes
- Brand tones: enforce consistent voice across everyone
- Snippets: save reusable text blocks
- Analytics dashboard: see how your team’s writing performs
- User management with role permissions
- One bill for everyone
The style guide feature is what sells this for agencies. I’ve worked with clients who had ten writers producing content that sounded like it came from ten different companies. With Grammarly’s style guides, you define the rules once. Product names get capitalized correctly. Banned phrases get flagged. Everyone writes like they’re part of the same team.
It’s not perfect. Sometimes the suggestions get annoying. But it beats manually reviewing every piece for brand consistency.
What Is Included in Grammarly Enterprise?
Enterprise is for big organizations. We’re talking 150+ users, serious security requirements, and IT departments that need control.
Everything from Pro for Teams, plus:
- Unlimited AI prompts (no monthly ceiling)
- SAML single sign-on
- Advanced user roles and access controls
- Data loss prevention
- Confidential project settings
- Dedicated account manager
- Priority support
- Better analytics
Pricing isn’t public. You have to talk to their sales team, which usually means negotiating based on your company size and what features you need.
If you’re in healthcare, finance, legal, or any industry where data security matters, Enterprise’s compliance features aren’t optional. They’re required.
Grammarly Pricing in 2026
Alright, the numbers. These are current as of when I updated this article.
Grammarly Pro (Individual)
| Billing Cycle | Price |
|---|---|
| Monthly | $30/month |
| Quarterly | $20/month (billed as $60) |
| Annual | $12/month (billed as $144) |
Monthly pricing is brutal. If you know you’ll stick with Grammarly, go annual. You save $216 over the year. That’s not nothing.
Grammarly Pro for Teams
| Team Size | Annual Price (per user/month) |
|---|---|
| 2-9 users | ~$15/user/month |
| 10-49 users | ~$14.50/user/month |
| 50-149 users | ~$12.50/user/month |
Minimum two users. Per-seat cost drops as you add more people.

AI Features Comparison
Since everyone’s asking about AI these days, here’s the breakdown:
| Feature | Free | Pro | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI Prompts per Month | 100 | 2,000 | Unlimited |
| Compose (draft from prompt) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Rewrite | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Ideate | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Reply | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| My Voice Personalization | Limited | ✓ | ✓ |
| Brand Tones | ✗ | ✓ (Teams) | ✓ |
| AI Detector | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Those 100 free prompts disappear faster than you’d expect. Every compose, every rewrite, every “make this sound more professional” request counts against your limit. I watched mine drain in about four working days during heavy editing.
2,000 prompts on Pro is comfortable for most people working alone. But if you’ve got a whole team hammering the AI features, Enterprise removes the cap entirely.
Which Grammarly Plan Should You Choose?

Look, I can’t tell you exactly what to pick without knowing your situation. But here’s how I’d think about it:
Go with Free if:
- Writing isn’t a big part of your job
- You mostly need spell check and basic grammar fixes
- You want to test Grammarly before spending money
- Budget is tight right now
Go with Pro (Individual) if:
- You write professionally (blogs, client work, reports, whatever)
- Clarity and tone matter for your work
- You need plagiarism checking
- You’re a student writing papers
- 2,000 AI prompts sounds like enough
Go with Pro for Teams if:
- You’ve got 2-149 people creating content
- Brand consistency keeps you up at night
- You want style guides and snippets
- You need to track team writing performance
- Centralized billing would make accounting happy
Go with Enterprise if:
- Your org has 150+ people
- Security and compliance are non-negotiable
- You need SSO and advanced admin controls
- Unlimited AI prompts would help
- You want a dedicated account manager
Can You Get Grammarly Pro for Free?
Short answer: not really.
Grammarly runs free trials occasionally, usually 7 days. But there’s no guaranteed way to access one. I’ve seen them pop up around major shopping holidays, but it’s inconsistent.
What you can do instead:
- Use the free tier first. It’s genuinely useful for basic stuff. Spend a few weeks with it and see if you actually need more.
- Pay for one month. Yes, $30 hurts compared to the annual rate. But it’s cheaper than committing to a year and realizing you don’t use it.
- Ask your employer or school. Lots of universities and companies have Grammarly licenses through education or enterprise agreements. I’ve met people who had access for years without knowing it.
- Wait for Black Friday. Grammarly usually does 50-55% off around late November. If you can hold out, that’s the best time to grab an annual plan.
Grammarly vs. Alternatives
Grammarly isn’t your only choice. Here’s the competitive landscape:
| Tool | Monthly Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Grammarly Pro | $12/month (annual) | All-around writing assistance with strong AI |
| ProWritingAid | $10/month (annual) | Writers who want detailed style reports |
| QuillBot | $8.33/month (annual) | Paraphrasing and summarizing |
| Wordtune | $9.99/month (annual) | Sentence-level rewriting |
| Microsoft Editor | Free with Microsoft 365 | Basic corrections for Office users |
| LanguageTool | Free / $4.99/month | Privacy-focused, open-source option |
I’ve tried most of these. ProWritingAid gives you more detailed reports but feels clunkier. QuillBot is great for paraphrasing but doesn’t do as much else. Microsoft Editor is fine if you live in Office anyway.
Grammarly wins on integration. It works in Chrome, on my desktop, in my phone keyboard, and now they’ve got Grammarly Docs as a standalone writing app. That everywhere-ness is hard to beat.
Conclusion
Grammarly looks different than it did a few years ago. The Premium/Business split is gone. AI features are everywhere. And the whole thing got reorganized into Free, Pro, and Enterprise tiers.
Quick recap:
Free handles casual writing and lets you test the AI features (100 prompts/month limit, though).
Pro is the right call for most professional writers and students. $12/month on the annual plan, 2,000 AI prompts, all the advanced editing tools.
Pro for Teams makes sense when you’ve got multiple writers and brand consistency matters.
Enterprise is for big organizations with serious security needs and large user counts.
If writing matters to your work, the annual Pro subscription is probably worth it. I’ve saved enough time on editing alone to justify the cost several times over.
