Sorry - this is the badest move you can make. Telling AI ist ramping up the costs ist really a bad one and -in two- really not true. There are a lot of good examples out there how it's done. Without harming privacy anyways. And the pricetag is much to high. As a user of the premium subscription this makes me cancel that subscription anyway, because I was in belive supporting all the free (Plug-In)-Users with the high pricetag to the desktop version.

This extension sucks now.

Just use v9.0.1 and the add-on works again as it should. The dictionaries are included, that why it's about 15MB. Or we could simply edit the xpi (which is a ZIP) to fix the latest version. ;)

Jeez, forcing a premium subscription to use the extension. I switched over to this from grammarly because it became AI slop filled, but now this extension has done the same and is removing the free tier because of it. AI is expensive, harms the environment, and generally isn't worth the costs. Remove the AI features and return the free tier, you'll get way more users by doing that.

Used to be good, considering the free tier. Now only for premium subscribers. The developers should explicitly state this information upfront in the first lines of the extension description, allowing users to avoid spending time installing it and then uninstalling it a couple of minutes later.

Now asking for money for something which can be obtained for free or lower cost. Just because you dump in "AI" features that no-one asks for you can't then to try and use this to justify a "premium" price.

This move never works.

Used to be free for a long time, but has started asking for a premium subscription just to use it at all. I'm disabled and was using it to spell check but I can't afford this. I guess its back to mixed up words now if I'm not having a very efficient day with fighting it.

They got rid of their free tier, forcing users to pay for features they clearly do not want to use (and it's obvious they know this, because they're advertising it as an upgrade to premium, despite the fact that the cost of running premium is why they're doing this), just because those features were too expensive for the people who actually want to use them.

Теперь даже бесплатно нельзя использовать.

Was good until it ask to pay to work (unless you want an extension that just say "use premium to use extension", so not "Some features may require payment" ...

L'extension nous demande de payer pour l'utiliser. Elle était bien, mais elle ne sert strictement plus à rien maintenant.

Nie dość, że słabe to teraz jeszcze wymuszają premium, żeby w ogóle działało. Podziękuję za tę wątpliwą przyjemność.

Useless, doesnt do anything unless you pay for a premium subscription. For a simple spell checker thats terrible. It was awesome for the first week, before I realised I was using a free tiral for the premium version. All this did was highlight how well a simple spell checker can work, but with zero basic features its entirely useless. Im not signing up to a subscription for a simple spell checker.

Used this for YEARS
Was a great free app that checked spelling and grammar with options for more in premium
Now they want $70 a year to do the same thing
EVERYTHING is premium
I'll be deleting this app IMMEDIATELY after submitting
Truly awful, would give 0 stars if I could
