Grammarly vs Reverso
Grammarly scores 45 to Reverso's 17 on public evidence for grammar, tone & editing, and they rank #2 and #3 there. Both are free to start. Numbers below are the same public signals the ranking uses, recomputed nightly — nothing here is sponsored.
Grammarly
A writing assistant that checks grammar, tone and clarity everywhere you type and rewrites or drafts text on request.
+ Works in nearly every text field on every platform, so corrections and tone suggestions follow you into Gmail, Slack and Word.
− Suggestions can flatten a distinctive voice and the premium nag prompts in the free tier are constant.
Reverso
Translation with real-world example sentences in context, plus conjugation, dictionary and grammar checking.
+ Reverso Context shows how a phrase is actually used in bilingual sentences, which is what language learners need.
− The free site is ad-heavy and the plain translator is weaker than DeepL.
