You don't get the AI based extras like paraphrasing, and the other bits listed in as premium only (https://languagetool.org/premium_new https://languagetool.org/premium_new), but if you install the n-gram DB for your language (https://languagetool.org/download/ngram-data/ https://languagetool.org/download/ngram-data/) I found it at least as good as, for some examples better than, Grammarly's free offering last time I did a comparison.
