Grammarly alternatives

Grammarly: Writing assistant that checks grammar, spelling, clarity and tone as you type.

Grammarly works well, but its premium plan is pricey and it sends your text to its servers. These checkers include open-source tools, apps that run on your own device and editors for long-form writing.
