"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?

They 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.

Paid only now RIP i guess

Non-functional without a subscription.

They changed it today to a fully paid service even for the basic tasks. Can not recommend. Just bait.

Add-on now requires a subscription to function

As 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.

Worked well, no free tier anymore.

Welp, 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!

Have 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.

Pulled the usual bait-and-switch requiring payment for it to work it all. Uninstalling.

This addon worked great until the premium tier became required. I don't need an AI spelling checker.

It was good until it isn't with recent change
v9.0.1 is better

Nouvelles version très bof côté vie privée.

Sorry - 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.

This extension sucks now.

Jeez, 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.
