What is "GRAMMARLY" on my bank statement?

GRAMMARLY is usually a legitimate subscription charge for Grammarly’s writing assistant service.

Merchant: Grammarly | Category: Subscription

What Is This Charge?

A charge from Grammarly reflects a purchase of Grammarly’s writing assistant subscription service, which launched in 2009 and operates as a digital product with no physical store count. Grammarly is a software company, not a retail merchant, and its charges usually come from an online account, app store billing, or a recurring plan renewal. The descriptor often appears when a free trial converts to a paid plan, when a monthly or annual subscription renews, or when a team or business plan bills on a set cycle.

Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?

This charge appears when you start a Grammarly trial, enter payment details, and the trial automatically converts to a paid subscription. It also appears when an annual plan renews on the same date each year or when a monthly plan renews on the same day each month. A charge can also appear if you bought Grammarly through the website, Apple App Store, or Google Play and the billing name is passed through by the platform.

Typical Charge Amounts

Grammarly’s common consumer plans have historically billed around $12.00 per month when paid monthly and about $144.00 per year when paid annually, with promotional pricing sometimes lowering the first term. Team and business plans can cost more than individual plans, and the exact amount depends on the number of seats and billing cycle. Some card statements also show a temporary authorization hold of $0.00, $1.00, or a small pending amount before the final subscription posts.

Is This Charge Legitimate?

A legitimate Grammarly charge should match an account you created at https://www.grammarly.com or a subscription you started in the Grammarly app. Check your email for a receipt, renewal notice, or trial conversion message from Grammarly, because those messages usually include the billing date and plan name. Review your payment history in the Grammarly account dashboard, then compare the last four digits of the card on file with the card that was charged. If you do not recognize the charge, contact Grammarly support through https://support.grammarly.com and verify the subscription before disputing it with your bank.

How to Dispute or Cancel

1. Sign in to your Grammarly account at https://www.grammarly.com/account or open the app and go to billing settings. 2. Cancel the subscription before the next renewal date, because recurring plans usually stay active until the end of the current billing period. 3. Save the cancellation confirmation, the receipt, and any support chat transcript, because your bank may ask for them during a dispute. 4. If you still cannot identify the charge, contact your card issuer using the number on the back of your card and ask for a subscription dispute or card-not-present charge review. Grammarly support is available through https://support.grammarly.com, and you should use the merchant help center first because it is the fastest way to stop future renewals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Grammarly charge show as GRAMMARLY*SUBSCRIPTION?

That descriptor usually means your Grammarly plan renewed automatically or a free trial converted into a paid subscription. The merchant name can include a subscription tag, the website name, or a shortened billing label from the payment processor. Check your Grammarly account billing page and your email receipts to match the exact renewal date and amount.

How do I cancel my Grammarly subscription?

Cancel by signing in at https://www.grammarly.com/account, opening billing settings, and turning off auto-renew. If you subscribed through Apple or Google, cancel in the App Store or Google Play subscriptions menu instead of the Grammarly website. Save the cancellation confirmation so you can prove the stop date if a later charge appears.

Why is my Grammarly charge a different amount than expected?

The amount can differ because Grammarly bills monthly or annually, applies promotional pricing only to the first term, or converts a trial into a full-price renewal. If you subscribed through Apple or Google, taxes and platform fees can also change the final total. Review the receipt and billing email to see whether the charge is a renewal, upgrade, or tax-adjusted payment.

Does Grammarly charge a free trial automatically?

Yes, a Grammarly free trial can convert to a paid plan if you do not cancel before the trial ends. The charge usually posts on the first day after the trial period, and the receipt should show the subscription start date. Check your email for the trial reminder because it often includes the exact cancellation deadline.

Can I get a refund for a Grammarly subscription charge?

Refunds depend on the purchase channel and the timing of your request, so you should contact Grammarly support immediately after the charge posts. If you bought through Apple or Google, you may need to request the refund through that platform instead of Grammarly. Keep the receipt, cancellation proof, and the date you noticed the charge when you file the request.
