User reviews

Sapling Grammar Checker is praised for its accuracy, helpful rewriting suggestions, smooth integration across platforms, and strong AI content detection. Users appreciate its ease of use and suitability for professional and educational writing. However, some users face inconsistent operation within Chrome, experience high memory usage, and find the subscription cost steep. Account creation requirements and weak multilingual language support (notably for Dutch) have also been noted as drawbacks. Overall, the extension offers an effective writing assistant with some areas needing improvement.

Requires account creation which is a barrier for some users wanting quick or anonymous use.

I've just finished my trial and I have to say I've been very impressed with the chrome extension when it works. It has picked up on so many more errors than any other grammar assitant that I have previously tried. I would acutally consider paying for it in the future however I have had issues with it working consistently via Chrome. I contacted the company and they were very quick to respond on several occasions however could not offer a solution. Given the price I won't be paying until it works flawlessly all the time.

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
