Has Grammarly raised its price?
No. Grammarly Pro (formerly Premium) has held at roughly $12/month when billed annually. Paying month to month costs more, around $30, but the headline annual rate has been stable.
When Grammarly launched its generative AI assistant in 2023, it bundled the feature into the existing Pro plan instead of adding a separate AI fee, which is the opposite of what Microsoft and Adobe did. Grammarly has since pushed AI heavily across its business and education tiers.
The reason Grammarly can hold its price is competitive necessity as much as goodwill: general chatbots now rewrite and proofread for free, and Microsoft Editor and Apple’s writing tools are built into the OS. Charging extra for AI on top of $12 would have made Grammarly look expensive against free alternatives, so folding it in protected the core subscription. Grammarly has also expanded by acquisition — buying Coda and Superhuman in 2025 — pointing to a future built around a broader productivity suite rather than a higher proofreading price.
If you pay annually, the cost is easy to forget between renewals, and the gap between the ~$12 annual rate and the ~$30 monthly rate means the billing choice matters more than any price change. A future increase, if it comes, is more likely to arrive via new suite bundles than a bump to the standalone Pro plan.
