LanguageToolとは?
LanguageTool checks grammar, spelling, and style across more than 30 languages, positioning itself as a privacy-conscious, multilingual alternative to Grammarly. Its rule-based and statistical checking engine has open-source roots, and the company publishes a self-hostable version alongside its hosted product for organizations that need to keep text processing in-house.
It's built for anyone writing across multiple languages — the wide language support is the clearest differentiator versus English-first competitors — and integrates as a browser extension, desktop add-ons for Word and Google Docs, and mobile keyboards, so checking happens wherever you're already writing rather than in a separate app.
The free tier covers core grammar and spelling checks. Premium, at $9.99/month, adds more advanced style suggestions, an expanded rule set, and a plagiarism checker. An API is available for developers who want to build grammar checking into their own product.
