## Grammarly strengths

- Free plan covers core grammar, spelling and tone visibility with 100 AI prompts per month.

- Public REST APIs exist for analytics, licence management, writing score and detection.

- An App Store reviewer criticizes the iOS keyboard setup for pushing users to grant broad access.
