Smart Grammarly Strategies
The 'Cancellation Flow' Discount (The #1 Hack)
When you go through the cancellation process, Grammarly will often present you with a special retention offer, such as a significant discount for the next few months, to encourage you to stay.
Leverage the Free Version's Power
For most users, Grammarly's free version is incredibly powerful and catches all critical spelling and grammar errors. Use the free version extensively before deciding if you truly need the advanced paid features.
Check for Student & Annual Plans
If you are a student, check for educational discounts. For all other users, paying for the annual plan is substantially cheaper than the month-to-month rate, offering the best long-term value.
Pre-Cancellation Safety Checklist for Grammarly Premium
Your Documents and Data Are Safe
CRITICAL: Any document you have saved in the Grammarly Editor is tied to your account and will NOT be deleted. Your personal dictionary and settings are also safe.
You Lose All Premium Suggestions
VERY IMPORTANT: Your account will revert to the free version. The browser extension and editor will only show critical grammar and spelling errors. You will lose access to all advanced features like tone detection, plagiarism scores, and fluency suggestions.
Confirm Your Billing Source
The cancellation process depends on where you paid. If you subscribed on the Grammarly website, you must cancel there. If you subscribed via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, you MUST cancel it in your phone's subscription settings.

What is the biggest feature I will lose when I cancel Premium?
Besides the advanced suggestions, the most significant loss is the Plagiarism Detector. This feature is only available to Premium subscribers.
Will my Grammarly browser extension stop working?
No, it will continue to work perfectly. It will just revert to the free version, providing only the essential grammar and spelling checks.
Do I get a refund if I cancel my annual Grammarly plan?

Can I pause my Grammarly subscription?
