How to choose between them

The trade-offs that follow from the figures above, rather than a single winner.

  • ChatGPT starts cheaper — $8 a month against $30 for Grammarly.
  • At ten people the gap is $40 a month, in ChatGPT's favour — the pricing models diverge as the team grows.
  • Their scores are within half a point of each other, so neither is the obvious choice on our scoring alone.

Scores follow our published methodology. Prices come from each vendor’s own pricing page — see the source and date on ChatGPT and Grammarly.
