Grammarly isn’t just a spellchecker anymore. It’s turned into a full AI writing assistant, and small business owners are probably wondering whether the subscription actually pays off. I went through the vendor docs and a pile of G2 and Capterra reviews, then checked community threads, to figure out what’s actually useful here and where it falls short.

Where it earns its keep is catching tone problems and awkward phrasing before you hit send. Where it disappoints: the AI drafting tools feel generic, and you’ll still need to edit anything important yourself. If your team writes a lot of emails or reports, it’s worth a look. If you’re hoping it replaces an editor, it won’t.
