Grammarly is too expensive. But is Grammarly Worth it?

I just checked the price for Grammarly - the pro version - and it is a staggering $29.95 per month. But is it worth it?

First, what is Grammarly?

Per Grammarly:

As you type, Grammarly checks your text for hundreds of common and advanced writing issues. The checks include common grammatical errors, such as subject-verb agreement, article use, and modifier placement, in addition to contextual spelling mistakes, phonetic spelling mistakes, and irregular verb conjugations. Grammarly also provides synonym suggestions to make your writing more readable and precise. With Grammarly, you can write online with confidence.
There is no need to answer this question myself thanks to Brendan Brown's thorough review on Geediting.com: https://geediting.com/grammarly-review-how-good-is-it-an-editor-weighs-in/
Brendan's answer? Yes, it's worth it:




Another verdict from Publication Coach:

For me, however, it is not worth that price tag.
