Managing Your Plan

From the Manage Plan page in the App Console, you can view your app's Grammarly for Developers plan details. Additionally, if your app is upgraded to the Plus plan, the app owner can manage the plan for the application, including the payment details for advanced communication features.

After you contact the sales teamopen in new window to upgrade your plan from Lifetime Free to Plus, you gain access to Grammarly's advanced communication assistance features, like autocomplete, the tone detector, and advanced writing suggestions.

Choosing your plan

All apps on the Grammarly for Developers platform are on one of two plans:

  • The Lifetime Free plan (the default) lets you bring Grammarly's real-time spelling and grammar assistance into your app at no cost.
  • The Plus plan, an upgrade to the Lifetime Free plan, lets you bring advanced communication assistance features into your app with a flexible, usage-based pricing model.
While collaborators can see plan information, only the app owner—once their app has been upgraded—can manage their app's details and paid features.

Lifetime Free plan

You can stay on the Lifetime Free plan for as long as you want at no cost. However, not all intelligent communication assistance features are available on the Lifetime Free plan.

Here are some of the benefits you bring to your users on the Lifetime Free plan:

  • Text analysis with the Grammarly Text Editor Plugin
  • Unlimited grammar, spelling, and punctuation checks

For a complete list of features available on the Lifetime Free plan, see our plans pageopen in new window.

Plus plan

The paid Plus plan has everything in the Lifetime Free plan plus intelligent communication assistance features, such as:

Pricing

On the Plus plan, you pay based on the number of words analyzed by Grammarly in your application. You'll start by purchasing a set number of words. Then, as users write in your app and Grammarly analyzes their text, this will use up words from your purchase.

The Manage Plan page shows the number of words used (that is, analyzed by Grammarly) and the number of words remaining from your last purchase.

Core Elements

If your plan runs out of words, your app will still have Grammarly's writing assistance, but your Plus features will be on pause. You can buy more words or use auto-refill to make a purchase automatically when you run out.

TIP

Our pricing is discounted so that you pay less per word if you purchase a larger number of words. However, words expire one year from the purchase date, so you shouldn't buy more words than your app can realistically use in one year.

Upgrading to Plus

To gain the ability to upgrade to the Plus plan, please contact our sales teamopen in new window and then complete the following steps.

  1. Open the App Console by choosing an application from My Appsopen in new window.
