- Rated 1 out of 5by Kilominum, 15 days agoIt is a good tool but you only get a 14 day free trial after which it requires you to pay
- Rated 1 out of 5by Thomasp942, 15 days agoThis extension used to be great and it worked perfectly for years. Then all of a sudden it starts with annoying popups all the time and it no longer works. What a shame.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20147637, 16 days agoNow requires payment to fund AI features no one asked for. So long, and thanks for the fish.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19898616, 16 days agoNoooo!!! This was one of my top 3 extensions that I always choose when I reinstall everything. And now it's pay only? Please no!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Edge, 16 days agoRip, used to use it for writing and now you need to register for a subscription.
- Rated 1 out of 5by HSR, 16 days agoBisher ein sehr gutes Plugin, jedoch als Bezahlvariante für mich nicht mehr interessant, daher nur einen Stern
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20144828, 17 days ago"Oh, we need more money, to run AI in I language tool, pay us, peasants". Yeah, how about you don't use AI, then? Also, you greedy bastards got public funding, for what? To rob people?
- Rated 1 out of 5by Anonymous, 17 days agoThey complain that people don't pay for this. Why would anyone pay for a glorified spell-check? If you're looking for an alternative, try Harper, it's free and open-source.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20143857, 17 days agoThey changed it today to a fully paid service even for the basic tasks. Can not recommend. Just bait.
- Rated 1 out of 5by zerojun, 17 days agoAs of September 4, 2026, at 8:54 p.m., this add-on no longer functions as described, which constitutes misleading advertising.
Now, users with limited financial means are being intentionally excluded—and this is happening at a company that receives public funding, which makes me seriously question its eligibility for such funding.
The add-on used to be very good, but due to a decision that was made, it’s barely worth 1 star anymore.
It’s a shame that there are companies that intentionally exclude people. - Rated 1 out of 5by Alice, 18 days agoWelp, here we are.
"he rise of generative AI has made it more challenging to sustainably monetize our offering".
translation: "due to the server costs of running AI in our spellchecker we will start charging money for it".
Drop AI and the server costs will instantly become more manageable, I imagine.
To be clear, I'm not against a developer charging for their product - I am against developers jumping on a fad bandwagon and then crying about it. You're running a SPELLCHECKER, guys, you don’t need AI to run a dictionary search.
But now we can have "AI POWERED PARAPHRASING" How, oh how did the product even operate before the blessing of AI???
I just cannot treat this seriously, sorry, Word processor had this running smoothly 15 years ago, catch up! - Rated 1 out of 5by Skin55, 18 days agoHave loved using this app for a few years now. Now, out of nowhere, it's added Ai and now is behind a paywall. Go F yourself.
- Rated 1 out of 5by funderburg, 18 days agoPulled the usual bait-and-switch requiring payment for it to work it all. Uninstalling.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Retro2201, 20 days agoReally helps when communicating in a language that you're not 100% fluent.
The premium is expensive, but then it's not just a web browser extension; you can use it in countless apps, so for me it was a good deal at the time. I bought the 2 year one for around 80€.
