I think this is one of the casualties of ChatGPT and LLMs. They can do grammar and a whole lot of other things all for about the same priced subscription as Grammarly.

I have found the free version of ChatGPT does as good if not better than Grammarly. I honestly not sure if there is much of a future for this product over next year or two.

Deepl Write is also rock solid and free.

I’ve both ChatGPT Premium and Grammarly Premium. If I have to choose to keep one subscription, that will be Grammarly. ChatGPT can do many things, and it’s impressive at generating text. But, people underestimate the advantage of good UX. With ChatGPT, I need to copy the text into a premade prompt or pick a GPT made to improve my writing. But, the writing style may not match what I want. Going back and forth with chat instructions is slow. With Grammarly, I write the text, then click on the suggestions and adapt the style. It's orders of magnitude faster. That's, to me, the Achilles heel of LLM chats: a specialized UI is more effective. So, there is room for competition in many areas, even if they use the same LLM APIs to implement it.

  You don't use ChatGPT to do your grammar.. there's more than just hypetool

    Exactly, I use ChatGPT for more than grammar: article summarization, as an assistant to learn new things, image generation with DallE, etc. But I keep using Grammarly for grammar because the UI is optimized for that use case. That's my point. ChatGPT is very powerful, but the chat interface is not optimized for every use case (is like the Excel of the next generation). The parent comment suggests that ChatGPT killed Grammarly... but Grammarly will kill itself if they don't focus on a superb UX optimized for their use case. The differentiator factor for any AI product will be a laser focus on a good UX for their specific audience.

LanguageTool has a free version and a self-hostable version.

Wouldn't the hallucination problem be an issue for LLM's? I guess at least in Grammarly you can be sure it is correct.
