After years of using this free open-source tool, it’s sad to see it suddenly locked behind a mandatory paywall.
This is a textbook definition of "enshittification"!
Thanks for the good years, and good luck.

La version gratuite était tres bien. Mais ils ont décidé de mettre un place un paywall. Bref je déconseille.

After several years of collecting our data, they're turning their backs on us by blocking our access while they wait to collect our money.

It was okay, I only chose this over others as it was the least annoying. Not amazing, I never engaged much with the AI side (as in using it to fully refine things) but it got context better than others did when suggesting fixes, so there's 2 stars. But no, I'm not going to pay for it because it has AI rewrite features, because I don't use those, just grammar and spelling fixes.

It's unfortunate they have to make it premium only because not enough people are paying for it, but maybe that's because it's not *amazing*, just cheaper than Grammarly.

I think another reviewer put it perfectly; LT saves you the time it takes to open up an LLM and paste your text in. And now that on firefox you can have most LLMs just pop up in the sidebar, it really doesn't take that long.

Was a handy tool! Shame that they decided to paywall this to premium. Removed and uninstalled.

Unfortunately, they decided to switch to Premium only for very dubious, greedy reasons. So I will no longer be using it.

Und schon ist es Kostenpflichtig -5 Sterne

This was a wonderful little tool for years, it is neither unique enough, nor useful enough to me to pay for this now that they want to blame AI for the change to paid premium service for spelling and grammar. y'all lost your damned minds over AI and got greedy

Shame on the decision to monetise. Was great while it lasted.

Went premium, not useful enough, nor unique enough to pay for, especially when all it actually does is save you typing it into chat GPT with the prompt "refine this:" followed by your text.

Was never that good to begin with, not sure why i even kept it around this long, the suggestions were almost always worse than what I've already came up with.

Era muito bom, mas agora tem que pagar.

Was very good but went premium only...

It's spyware. Even if you pay for that, which I regret doing.

Interesting nuance is that I believe couple of years ago it was not like this. Since US company (probably private equity) bought this, it turned into spyware.

They made the service paid only.
