- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13908078, a month agoThis extension established itself at a time when there were few alternatives, giving it a firm market share in its category. But now, when there are a bunch of alternatives to choose from, you decide to put every single feature behind a paywall?
You deserve to make some money out of your work but damn, that is a wild decision. - Rated 1 out of 5by Tim, a month agoWhen using any of the non-American English languages, I found that many words are missing. Absolutely bizarre that it doesn't have all the words in from the big dictionaries as a base-line. This was ok when it was free, but I'm not paying for a spell checker that doesn't know what's in the dictionary. You know your AI is slopping it up when Word 97 does a better job.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Rvier.fr, a month agoNo free tiers anymore. Require a premium account, so identification required. And add difficulty to run his own hosted server.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Midas, a month agoMajor privacy concern. The extension's privacy policy states that it can collect and store text, prompts, chats, files, metadata, IP addresses, usage data, and browsing-related information. It also states that collected data may be used for analytics, service improvement, and AI model training.
I only want a text-correction tool. Sending and retaining this much data is unacceptable for such a basic function, especially when handling potentially sensitive text. EU and especially US users should carefully consider the privacy implications before installing this extension. - Rated 1 out of 5by jo, a month agoUninstalled because it's no longer free. I don't understand why this would be the case when there are free alternatives. Very disappointing.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20111655, a month agoWas free for basic functionality, now all features require subscription.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14073020, a month agoLocking the browser extension behind a fire wall is a scumy thing to do.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16675063, a month agoGreat free tool until it gave in to greed, will wait for an alternative
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20109001, a month agoWorked great until it didn't. But asking way too much for a spellchecker.
I don't mind paying for things, would have been happy to give £10 for a perpetual license.
But £4 a month?! Taking the piss m8. Uninstalled. - Rated 1 out of 5by AlkseeyaKC, a month agoIt was great until they wanted money for it. Sorry, but not everyone has $15 they can dish out to all these companies pay walling us. Maybe I would consider if it was cheaper and I had more income, but I don't. BECAUSE OF ALL THE GD SUBSCRIPTIONS to live my life!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Moulin, a month agoDommage, c'était une très bonne extensions mais devenue payante. Alors que "nos abonnés Premium soutiennent déjà l’essentiel de nos coûts de serveurs"... Sous prétexte de développé des nouveaux outils IA dont personne ne veux...
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20106540, a month agoSpell checker doesn't need to be related to AI. All you do is burn resources and kill the planet. Paying to submit text to AI for spell check is absurd.
- Rated 1 out of 5by NXY, a month agoNo longer free to use. All features are locked behind a paywall after a short period of use.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Evissam, a month agoIt's straight garbage now. It claims that "Some features may require payment," that isn't true. It works for a while, then tells you your premium trial expired, and it stops working.
