European alternatives to Grammarly

European help with clear, correct writing

Grammarly is a writing assistant from the United States. It checks spelling, grammar and punctuation as you type, flags tone and clarity, and suggests rewrites, working through a browser extension, a desktop app, mobile keyboards and integrations with the editors people already use. Companies deploy it across teams so that outgoing writing follows a consistent style.

Because the assistant works inside your editor, it sees drafts of email, proposals and internal documents while they are still confidential, which is why security teams look closely at where that text is processed. A European alternative to Grammarly keeps your drafts with a supplier inside the EU or EFTA. DeepL is a European language technology company offering translation between many languages together with tools for improving phrasing and clarity in written text.
