How to cancel Grammarly Premium
Cancel Grammarly online in 5 minutes. Cancel BEFORE renewal — Grammarly's refund window is narrow.
Online:
- Sign in at grammarly.com → click your profile (bottom-left) → Account
- Go to Subscription → click Cancel Subscription
- Grammarly walks through retention offers (typically 40% off for 3 months)
- Click Continue to Cancel through each screen until confirmed
Refund policy is tight. Grammarly only refunds:
- Annual plans cancelled within 10 days of payment
- Monthly plans: no refund, but access continues to month-end
If you forgot to cancel and got auto-renewed for the year, contact support@grammarly.com immediately — within 10 days they'll usually refund, after that it gets harder.
Don't downgrade to free — you keep using Premium features by mistake. The free tier still flags errors, but the rewriting suggestions are paywalled. Many users find the free tier sufficient.
Alternative free tools:
- LanguageTool (free tier; better than Grammarly free for academic writing)
- Hemingway Editor (web app, free for short pieces)
- Built-in spellcheck in Word/Google Docs/Apple's text engine has improved meaningfully
Educational discount: Grammarly has student plans at ~30% off. Worth checking if you have any current student status.
