Greed took over and now this tool is only free to use in a 14-day trail period, unless you want to pay for premium, this tool is useless. Shame because it was a good tool. Plenty of free alternatives out there. I would even prefer to go back to write in a text editor, do a spell check online with a free tool and then paste the corrected text where I want to post it. Besides that, with AI getting better every day, online spellcheck can easily be done without using this tool.
Uninstalling the extension.

это стало платным

The main functionality has been paid for. Now there is no reason to use this extension when there are a bunch of free alternatives.

You can not use this addon, if you can't connect to languagetool.org (alledgedly to accept the privacy policy) even when using a LOCAL server...

Used to be an amazing add, but they added AI features no one liked, then blamed the fact people use AI to push a stupidly expensive subscription

Paywalled extension

A complete corporate bait-and-switch. Avoid.

I found this extension while looking for a reliable grammar checker, and at first, it was amazing. But the developers just pulled the ultimate rug-pull on their loyal user base. They took a great free extension with solid, basic grammar and spelling features and locked everything behind a massive paywall.

They are now demanding an insanely overpriced subscription: $24 USD monthly or a whopping $69 USD per year just for standard grammar checking! Was the AI bill really that expensive that you had to alienate your entire community? I’m definitely not going to self-host an app just to get basic browser tools.

In short: Don't bother installing. Look elsewhere.

Bait and switched everyone and is now its a completely Paywalled extension.

Used to be perfect solution, now it's not thanks to AI implementation none asked for. Get ****** AI goons.

Well...loved this extension for many years now, and praised it to friends for how useful of a tool it is, and they ruined it over night. I imagine that they couldn't afford the AWS AI bill for their stupid, shoe-horned, AI nonsense, and now the whole extension is going behind a paywall. You have to be a real moron to pay a subscription to a spell checker ($34.90 a month???? Are you insane??) Time to find a new extension I guess..

How to ruin your product overnight... Nobody wants AI Slop AND then forced to pay for it.

Yeah No I'm not going to cover your AI running cost, A simple extension turned into a AI slop and now users are being asked to pay for it. LOL NO.

Went from free to $70 per year.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 NOPE! C'YA!👋

Bueno... fue bueno mientras duró. Simplemente no vale la pena pagar por un corrector, al menos no si es una suscripción que aun estando al 50% de descuento es estúpidamente cara, por más cosas que tenga. Un usuario normal que únicamente busca no errarle tanto a la gramática y quizá hasta aprender simplemente escribiendo no va a pagarlo. Porque también, para empezar, por algo estaba con la versión gratis. Si dan la opción de un único pago por una licencia de por vida quizá me lo pienso, pero aún así, al menos para mi (y seguro la gran mayoría de usuarios), la extensión vale máximo 10 USD y ya es mucho

Brutal bait and switch. Smell ya later! (Harpers is a good free replacement).

This was a great extension for a really long time. Unfortunately, like so many companies nowadays, they decided to try and force AI on to everyone; inevitably costing them a lot of money. Instead of removing the AI features (which nobody uses), they've placed the burden of that cost on to the end user, and made the extension yet another subscription service. I've deleted my account, and removed the extension. Cheers guys!

They went fully paid now. Useless add-on now. Use Harper, which is a million times better, open source, free forever, and private.

Scummy bait and switch to paid model with a weak excuse. User Harper instead, it's free, faster, and respects your privacy.

Ugh.... What a disappointment. Pulling the rug out from under your entire userbase by putting all functionality behind a paywall without warning. Yeah, screw you buddy.

It seems the development plan was: "How can we charge more?" and someone replied, "Let's add AI." The result: the same old features and some limited, an expensive subscription. The product didn't improve enough to justify the change, but the price certainly found a way to increase. A creative strategy, indeed.
