When another tool is the better choice

LanguageTool

If you write in a language Korr does not cover. LanguageTool supports more than thirty languages; Korr supports five. It can also run on your own server.

Grammarly

If you already use it across devices with an account, and having your text analysed on its servers is not a concern for you.

Korr

If you want correction with no account, no character limit and no server: the text stays on your device, and it keeps working offline.

Other checkers people compare

What we measured, and what we did not

FAQ

Is there a free Grammarly alternative with no account?

Yes. Korr is free, needs no account and has no character limit. It checks French, English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese on your device.

Is there a LanguageTool alternative without a character limit?

Yes. Korr has no character limit. LanguageTool's free plan is limited per check; its self-hosted version is not, but it needs a server.

Which grammar checker works offline?

Korr works offline after the first load, on the website, in the Chrome extension and in the Windows app. LanguageTool can work offline when you host it yourself.
