- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20144828, 18 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, 18 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, 18 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, 18 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, 19 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, 19 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, 19 days agoPulled the usual bait-and-switch requiring payment for it to work it all. Uninstalling.

- Rated 1 out of 5by George, 22 days agoThis addon worked great until the premium tier became required. I don't need an AI spelling checker.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Matrix_Cracker, 25 days agoSorry - this is the badest move you can make. Telling AI ist ramping up the costs ist really a bad one and -in two- really not true. There are a lot of good examples out there how it's done. Without harming privacy anyways. And the pricetag is much to high. As a user of the premium subscription this makes me cancel that subscription anyway, because I was in belive supporting all the free (Plug-In)-Users with the high pricetag to the desktop version.

- Rated 1 out of 5by juntra, a month agoJeez, forcing a premium subscription to use the extension. I switched over to this from grammarly because it became AI slop filled, but now this extension has done the same and is removing the free tier because of it. AI is expensive, harms the environment, and generally isn't worth the costs. Remove the AI features and return the free tier, you'll get way more users by doing that.
