Grammarly Is Called Superhuman Now, and Premium Is Being Retired

Grammarly Is Called Superhuman Now, and Premium Is Being Retired

Anyone returning to Grammarly after a year away will find the product recognisable and the company unrecognisable. On 29 October 2025 the business rebranded itself as Superhuman, uniting Grammarly, Coda and Superhuman Mail under a single suite and launching a proactive assistant called Superhuman Go. In July 2026 Coda formally became Superhuman Docs. The writing tool most people still call Grammarly survives intact, but its plan structure has been reorganised around the suite, and the Premium tier is on its way out.

Grammarly plan facts, USD, checked August 2026

  • Free includes basic corrections, tone visibility and 100 AI prompts per month
  • Pro is $12 per month with 2,000 AI prompts per member each month
  • Enterprise is quote-only with unlimited prompts, BYOK encryption and data loss prevention
  • Premium subscriptions are being moved to Pro with a prorated refund for the remainder
  • The parent company is now Superhuman, following the October 2025 rebrand

October 2025: the company changed its name

The rebrand announcement, published on Grammarly’s own blog, describes uniting three products under the Superhuman name and adding Superhuman Go as a proactive assistant. Chief executive Shishir Mehrotra framed the strategy around AI amplifying rather than replacing human capability, which is the sort of statement that tells you very little about what changed operationally.

What changed operationally is the ambition. Grammarly spent fifteen years as a writing correction layer that worked everywhere. Superhuman is positioning as a productivity suite competing with much larger platforms, and the writing tool is now one component of that rather than the whole business. Whether that focus benefits people who only ever wanted better proofreading is the open question.

For everyday users the immediate consequences are mostly cosmetic: a different name on the invoice, a redesigned interface and a new assistant appearing alongside the familiar underline. The longer-term consequence is that a tool many people rely on for a single narrow task is now a component of a much broader commercial ambition, and narrow tools inside broad suites tend to accumulate features their original users did not request.

Coda became Superhuman Docs in July 2026

The Superhuman help centre records the second stage: on 8 July 2026 Coda was renamed Superhuman Docs, moving to a new domain at docs.superhuman.com with coda.io links redirecting automatically. The documentation is explicit that docs, tables, Packs, automations and formulas continue working as before, and that existing plans and pricing are unchanged.

That reassurance is worth taking at face value for now while noting the direction of travel. Two rebrands in nine months, a new bundle to upgrade into, and a suite-wide AI layer are the standard prelude to plan consolidation. Coda customers who chose the product for its specific database capabilities rather than for a suite should watch renewal terms carefully.

Premium is being retired into Pro

The current plans page states that Premium subscriptions are transitioning to Pro and that Premium users receive a refund prorated to the remainder of their subscription. Handling it with a prorated refund rather than a silent conversion is the correct way to do this, and it deserves acknowledgement.

Pro is listed at $12 per month for individuals and eligible teams, and it carries tone adjustment, sentence rewriting, plagiarism detection and AI text detection. The plagiarism checker in particular is a feature academic users specifically pay for, and its position on Pro rather than higher up is the most defensible part of the price list.

One hundred prompts free, two thousand on Pro

The generative features are metered by prompt count: 100 per month on Free, 2,000 per member per month on Pro, unlimited on Enterprise. This is a clearer meter than the credit systems several competitors use, because a prompt is a unit a person can actually count.

It is still a cap, and 100 monthly prompts is thin enough that free users will meet it during a single afternoon of heavy rewriting. The underlying correction engine, spelling, grammar and clarity suggestions, is not metered, so the free tier remains genuinely useful for its original purpose. The distinction between the unmetered corrector and the metered assistant is the one to understand before deciding whether Pro is warranted.

Where the suggestions are simply wrong

The correction engine is strong on mechanics and consistently weaker on judgement, and the pattern of its mistakes is predictable enough to list. None of these are grounds for abandoning it, but a writer who accepts every suggestion will produce worse prose than one who does not.

  • Technical and domain-specific vocabulary is flagged as error with tiresome regularity
  • Suggested rewrites flatten deliberate stylistic choices, particularly in longer sentences
  • Passive voice is flagged mechanically, including where it is the correct construction
  • Comma advice in complex sentences is inconsistent and occasionally introduces errors
  • The browser extension can interfere with rich text editors and code fields on some sites

Enterprise, encryption keys and where the text goes

The Enterprise tier is where the data questions get answered. It adds bring-your-own-key encryption, custom roles, data loss prevention and unlimited prompts, plus proactive AI features and dedicated support. For any organisation whose staff paste client material into a writing assistant, BYOK is the control that makes deployment defensible.

The corollary is that Pro users have no equivalent guarantee, and a writing assistant sees essentially everything an employee writes. That is a broader surface than most tools in a software estate, and it is worth a deliberate decision rather than a departmental card payment. Pricing for Enterprise is not published, which is normal for the category and still an obstacle for buyers trying to compare options before contacting sales.

For most individual buyers the decision is narrower than the rebrand makes it look. If the free corrector already fixes what you need fixing, the 12 dollar tier buys rewriting assistance and plagiarism checking rather than better spelling. That is a genuine upgrade for students and for anyone drafting at length, and an unnecessary one for people who simply want typos caught.
