PSA: MOST 5-STAR REVIEWS COME FROM BEFORE THIS WAS PAID!!!

Just 2 days ago; they said that this entire extension will now be EXCLUSIVELY PAID. You CANNOT use this extension without paying now.

Yes, they say that you can host your own server; but the server that you can download is barely functional and does less than a quarter of what the cloud server once did for free.

Useless. Apparently doesn't work at all unless you pay. Yeah, no thanks buddy.

"Some features may require payment" seems inaccurate, I have found no functionality remaining without paying since they updated it. There are others to move to that do the job.

It's a shame that we have to go back to version 9.x.x to keep using a feature that has always been free.

I imagine that not enough users are subscribing to Premium, and that the company needs to generate more revenue. After all, when the free version is already so good, it's difficult to convince people to pay for it.

So I'm not going to criticize that business decision or the subscription price. However, the extension's description should clearly state that a paid subscription is required and not "some feature need subscribtion". That would save people from downloading and installing an extension they can't actually use for free.

During the free trial, I had absolutely no complaints. I would have happily given it 5 stars! I had disabled all the AI features, statistics, synchronization, and custom dictionary options, and apart from a few very rare cases where the extension interfered with input fields on certain websites, everything worked perfectly.

I'm giving it 3/5 because the integration in version 9.x.x isn't quite as good as in the latest version, and because the extension's description fails to mention that a subscription is required.

With an accurate description, I would have given it 4/5.

seit kurzem komplett kostenpflichtig, schade...

LanguageTool is a good tool. Even in the age of AI. I want to write my own texts, in my own style, but I'm not a native English speaker; so LanguageTool helps me write correct English, while not losing my authenticity.

Yeah, paypaypay even if you only need the basic spell checking which was free and perfectly fine, no need to maintain anything like servers, hence 100% pure GREED. How about fúk ya? Goodbye!

Nicht kostenlos wie beschrieben. Nach Ablauf der Testphase geht ohne Abo nichts mehr.
Dann kommt halt zukünftig eine KI zum Einsatz.

It's awful. For the last week, it has correctly found one mistake, but has shown hundreds of false positives. It doesn't like ellipsis (...) even when it is inside a quotation mark. It frequently flags quotation marks, claiming they are unpaired. Many common words are missing from its dictionary, e.g., "ReFS" and "recompressor".

Price too high for a spell checker

It is fair to charge for your software, it is not fair to be intentionally obtuse about charging for your software after increasing the price 100%+

After enabling this plugin in Firefox, the console will display an error message. Ignoring unsupported entryTypes: longtask.

Was a great tool until you had to pay to use the most basic functions. Can't support it anymore.

Extension qui était gratuite, elle est maintenant payante pour 50 euros par an

No free version, just a short trial.

Like many, I appreciate this add-on. The basic functionality was free, although it had paid features. However, now the entire module is behind a subscription that's quite expensive for what it is (even with the trial period).
In short, the module is essentially a paid service hidden behind a trial period.

free trial scam, seems like they botted reviews

I really like this extension, while it was free, I could pay a small sum for it, but €20 a month is ridicolous, no way, uninstall.

"Enshittification" in its most glaring form. A policy shift from free service to a maddening "Basic" tier (which is essentially Premium, just temporarily).
This functionality should be integrated into Firefox’s AI features (running locally), just as was done with translation.

Subscription Trap, Forced Continuity, Semantic Manipulation, Dark Patterns

3.99 euro a month on the annual plan is a ridiculous increase from zero! if you really didn’t want to take advantage of us, you would charge 1 euro per month on the annual plan. More than 15 per month, on the monthly plan is an insult. At least make a tiered product. Make it 0.5 or 1 euro per month for non professional use for everyone's sake. and charge 100 per month for companies. They can afford it. We absolutely cannot. At least not in the long run. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING (apart from you shareholders pockets of course....)

Goodbye forever. It was very good while it lasted! Thanks to the people who made it and you are now taking advantage of.
