Our take
Pick Grammarly if students and knowledge workers who want inline grammar in Gmail, Docs, and the browser. Pick Paperpal if authors submitting to journals who will pay Prime or Pro for in-file edits. Skip Grammarly if people who need a paraphraser with named modes (QuillBot) or a rewrite box that leads with “humanize” (Wordtune).
