I wrote a script to automatically apply Grammarly corrections

Curiosity: why Grammarly and not LanguageTool?

For me: English isn't my native language and LanguageTool have all languages I need.

Having used both, I find Grammarly much better for English texts. It has things like tone analysis, and in general has more in depth checks than LanguageTool.

LanguageTool, on the other hand, supports more languages and is cheaper than Grammarly. It isn't bad for English texts, and will definitely help you with your writing, but not as much as Grammarly.

It really depends on your needs. I use LanguageTool for my everyday needs, but when I'm writing a blog article, I make sure to run it through Grammarly.

Grammarly has a much bigger advertising budget - relatively few people heard about LanguageTool.

And I never get any Grammarly ads.

Again, depends on where you live…

Hi scim-knox-twox! Dope name! I used Grammarly because it's the tool I use.

I just discovered Language Tool from your comment. I see similarities between the two apps. mmhm, how's LT for your needs?

Hey, thanks!

I'm using LT since last year and for me everything works like it should :) It's open source (I generally don't like Big-Tech), and I'm probably gonna get Premium soon.

And big plus for me: more than 30 supported languages.

I'm even using LT right now for this comment ;)

i do not use grammarly. been using languagetool in my libreoffice/kde neon but someday it works, someday it does not work. other than that, when it works it just works as advertised.
