- Rated 1 out of 5by Abyss, 4 hours agoYeah No I'm not going to cover your AI running cost, A simple extension turned into a AI slop and now users are being asked to pay for it. LOL NO.
- Rated 1 out of 5by BrokenN571, 10 hours agoBueno... fue bueno mientras duró. Simplemente no vale la pena pagar por un corrector, al menos no si es una suscripción que aun estando al 50% de descuento es estúpidamente cara, por más cosas que tenga. Un usuario normal que únicamente busca no errarle tanto a la gramática y quizá hasta aprender simplemente escribiendo no va a pagarlo. Porque también, para empezar, por algo estaba con la versión gratis. Si dan la opción de un único pago por una licencia de por vida quizá me lo pienso, pero aún así, al menos para mi (y seguro la gran mayoría de usuarios), la extensión vale máximo 10 USD y ya es mucho
- Rated 1 out of 5by JR, 11 hours agoBrutal bait and switch. Smell ya later! (Harpers is a good free replacement).

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19644991, 3 days agoSo, so, so much better than Grammarly. I run it with a local server (pretty easy to set up) and it doesn't get in my way!
- Rated 1 out of 5by MasterKugelblitz, 3 days agoThis was a great extension for a really long time. Unfortunately, like so many companies nowadays, they decided to try and force AI on to everyone; inevitably costing them a lot of money. Instead of removing the AI features (which nobody uses), they've placed the burden of that cost on to the end user, and made the extension yet another subscription service. I've deleted my account, and removed the extension. Cheers guys!
- Rated 1 out of 5by torchsnow, 3 days agoThey went fully paid now. Useless add-on now. Use Harper, which is a million times better, open source, free forever, and private.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Scase, 3 days agoScummy bait and switch to paid model with a weak excuse. User Harper instead, it's free, faster, and respects your privacy.

- Rated 1 out of 5by `cffx, 5 days agoUgh.... What a disappointment. Pulling the rug out from under your entire userbase by putting all functionality behind a paywall without warning. Yeah, screw you buddy.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19967570, 6 days agoIt seems the development plan was: "How can we charge more?" and someone replied, "Let's add AI." The result: the same old features and some limited, an expensive subscription. The product didn't improve enough to justify the change, but the price certainly found a way to increase. A creative strategy, indeed.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Nidelon, 7 days agoWell, you knew what you were getting into when you made the extension paid. Nobody uses your AI functions, you created the problem yourself and increased costs.
- Rated 1 out of 5by NoMercyRKR, 7 days agoAnd with it only being a premium subscription, it's not worth it anymore.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12287081, 10 days agoLoved this tool until this week. Some how for some reason it keeps thinking I want to write in Spanish instead of English. I found a place to change the language and made it English again. Still everything is in Spanish.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Agent_Smith, 10 days ago"We've made the difficult decision to limit the LanguageTool browser extension to Premium users only". and with that basis, I have made the very easy decision to remove your extension. Hint: just because 'AI' seems to be in every conversation doesn't mean you have to force fit AI capabilities into a spell checker. Too enamored with technology?

- Rated 1 out of 5by Infomanraf, 12 days agoI’ve used LanguageTool for many years and it was a core part of my writing workflow, especially in the browser.
The recent decision to move the browser extension behind a Premium paywall breaks that workflow significantly.
I understand infrastructure costs are increasing, but removing free real-time browser correction makes the tool much less accessible for long-time users.
Keeping the limited free tier (basic grammar/spelling) or offline fallback would make the transition much easier to accept. No, instead LanguageTooler GmbH chose to AI-wash their greedy, money hungry decision.
Goodbye, LanguageTool.
You were a really useful extension. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19957142, 12 days agoIt USED to be good. But, instead of keeping good code that was effucient to run, the company behind this extension jumped onto the LLM bandwagon, and decided to force the costs of running that power-hungry junk onto the users. $15/month for a spelchekar — no way.
