Grammarly Promo & Discount Codes: What Works

1. Start on Grammarly Free

   $0, with no time limitLow effortAnyone who mainly needs spelling and grammar checks

   Grammarly's help center says you can use Grammarly Free for as long as you want and upgrade whenever you choose. Free corrects mistakes, shows your writing tone and includes 100 text-generation prompts a month; Pro adds full-sentence rewrites, tone adjustments, plagiarism checks, detection of generated text and 2,000 prompts. If the free checks are all you reach for, there's nothing to buy.^{[3, 11]}

   1. Create a free account at grammarly.com.
   2. Install Grammarly for Windows or Mac, or use the Grammarly Editor in your browser.
   3. Upgrade only when you keep wanting a feature that's marked Pro.

2. Pay for a year instead of month by month

   $12 a month instead of $30Low effortAnyone planning to keep Pro for a year

   Grammarly Pro costs $30 a month, $60 every three months or $144 a year per member, and the annual price works out to $12 a month on average; Grammarly's plan picker labels yearly billing Save up to 60%. Twelve monthly payments add up to $360, so paying for the year up front costs $216 less. To switch an existing plan, use Update plan on your Subscription page: the new subscription is charged from your next billing cycle.^{[1, 2, 21]}

3. Qualify through SheerID for half off Pro

   50% off, worth up to $72Some effortStudents, educators, military, first responders, healthcare workers, seniors 60+, ages 18–25

   On October 17, 2026 Grammarly's help center listed 50% off Grammarly Pro for people who qualify through SheerID, saving up to $72, which is half the $144 annual price and the top of the range. The student version, which Grammarly calls a limited-time offer, applies to any Pro plan. SheerID may ask for an official document and can take up to seven business days; once you're approved, a promo link arrives by email, and you can upgrade with any email address. The rate covers one subscription period and the first seat only.^{[5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]}

   1. Open the SheerID form for your group from Grammarly's promo offers help page.
   2. Submit your details, plus a document if SheerID asks for one.
   3. Use the promo link from verify@sheerid.com to upgrade on the web, not through the App Store or Google Play.

4. Check whether your school already has a license

   Advanced features through your schoolLow effortStudents and staff at schools with Grammarly for Education

   Some schools hold a Grammarly for Education license. If yours uses an identity provider such as Okta, Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace, sign in to Grammarly through it; otherwise sign up with your school email address at grammarly.com/enterprise/signup, and if your school has a license you'll be prompted to join it and get its advanced features. No prompt? Grammarly points you to your school's administration or IT support, which is worth asking before you pay for Pro yourself.^[12]

5. Opt in to Grammarly's special-offer emails

   Occasional promotional ratesLow effortAnyone who can wait before upgrading

   Grammarly says it gives some of its email subscribers discounts through occasional promotional offers, and you can switch on its special-offer emails on your account's Profile page. As with every Grammarly promo, the rate lasts one subscription period and can't be combined with another offer or applied to something you've already bought.^[4]

Codes and offers kept by David Jones, who would list a code here only if the store published one.

Grammarly says it doesn't give discounts as coupons or codes and that a promo code found online isn't a Grammarly offer, so we list none. Its discounts arrive as promo links instead: from SheerID once you qualify, or in Grammarly's own special-offer emails.

1. Cancelling a trial ends it immediately

   Grammarly ends a free trial the moment you cancel it rather than at the end date, so cancelling on the first day gives up the rest of the trial. The plans page promises an email reminder 2 days before the trial ends; decide then.^{[3, 16]}

2. The discount doesn't carry into the renewal

   A promo rate, SheerID discounts included, covers a single subscription period, and Grammarly's help center names the switch to the standard rate as a reason a renewal costs more than the first charge. On a discounted annual plan, the second year is billed at the standard rate, $144 when we read the pricing page.^{[1, 6, 14]}

3. Codes found online aren't Grammarly's

   Grammarly says it doesn't provide discounts as coupons or codes, and that a promo code found online isn't a promotional offer from Grammarly. Its real discounts arrive as promo links, from SheerID or from Grammarly's own emails.^{[4, 6]}

4. Unused time isn't refunded

   Cancelling stops the next charge but not the current one, and refunds are given only where the law requires them. If you don't want another month, quarter or year, cancel before your renewal date.^{[15, 17, 18]}

5. App Store and Google Play purchases play by other rules

   Grammarly's discounts can't be used on App Store or Google Play purchases, the plan sold there is Grammarly Premium rather than Pro, and App Store subscriptions are cancelled and refunded through Apple. Buy on grammarly.com if you want a discount to apply.^{[4, 15, 17, 22]}
