User Reviews

ProWritingAid for Firefox offers helpful grammar and style suggestions across sites and at a lower cost than Grammarly, with ongoing improvements. However, users frequently report major typing lag and overall slowdown, heavy paywall reliance and limited free use, a confusing UI, privacy/settings issues, and occasional glitches. The tool is valuable for writers who can tolerate the performance and access trade-offs.

Pros

Provides comprehensive grammar, spelling, and style suggestions, including alternative phrasings, helping writers catch errors and improve wording.
Works across many sites and text fields, integrating smoothly without being intrusive.
Cheaper than Grammarly and offers a useful free tier, making it a cost‑effective alternative.
Ongoing improvements from developers and helpful for writers who miss typos or awkward sentences.
In some contexts, offers more coverage than Grammarly or Language Tool on certain situations.

Cons

Significant performance impact: slows down the browser and introduces typing lag on most sites.
Most advanced features are behind a paywall; free account is limited (e.g., word limits).
Confusing or cluttered user interface that makes it hard to use all tools at once.
Privacy concerns and settings can be ignored or require full disablement to protect privacy.
Occasional glitches and inconsistent behavior that further hinder typing experience.

Recent reviews

It's been months that I have been using it on Firefox, it's TERRIBLE. It keeps crashing, not working even for a second before firefox complains about it. And I am a paid member, so...I can't... *screaming, tearing hair out*

slows down the browser. Almost 90% of the features advertised are behind the paywalls. Rather would use grammarly.

Is ProWritingAid Safe?

Risk impact

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.

ProWritingAid requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

ProWritingAid may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
