  • The billing cadence represented by the $12 Pro price was not rendered unambiguously in the retrieved official pricing text.
  • Grammarly's exact treatment may differ for negotiated Enterprise agreements, which are governed by a separate Customer Business Agreement rather than the public self-service terms.

Official sources confirm AI drafting, rewriting, tone adjustment, fluency suggestions, grammar assistance, plagiarism checking, and AI-text detection. For Free, Premium, and single-user Pro accounts, Product Improvement and Training is enabled by default, but users can opt out; when disabled, user content is not used for model training, validation, or product improvement. Multi-user accounts bought directly online are also enabled by default, with an administrator opt-out. Enterprise-tier, sales-purchased Pro/Business, and Education accounts have training disabled by default. Grammarly says its external LLM service providers may receive prompts and context to provide generative features but may not train their models on user content. Under the October 29, 2025 Superhuman terms, inputs and outputs are User Content, and users own all right, title, and interest in User Content; the terms also grant Superhuman a broad license for operating, improving, customizing, and developing its services.

  • The general pricing page does not expose one comprehensive price for every Microsoft Copilot product or enterprise licensing scenario.
  • Pay-as-you-go agent consumption depends on the selected agent and metering arrangement; no single universal usage limit or price is stated on the overview page.
  • The $18 Microsoft 365 Copilot Business amount is promotional; the checked pricing page does not state its expiration directly.

This verification is scoped to Microsoft 365 Copilot for business, not every consumer or product-specific service branded Copilot. Microsoft 365 Copilot works in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, Loop, and other Microsoft 365 surfaces; it uses Microsoft Graph data the user is permitted to access and includes Copilot Chat, Copilot Search, agents, and app-specific drafting, summarization, analysis, and meeting capabilities. Prompts, responses, and Microsoft Graph data are not used to train foundation LLMs. Interaction content is stored under the customer's Microsoft 365 contractual commitments, encrypted at rest, manageable through Microsoft Purview, and deletable through Copilot activity history controls. Microsoft does not claim ownership of service output but does not determine whether output is copyright-protected or enforceable. Its Copilot Copyright Commitment can defend qualifying commercial customers against certain copyright claims when required guardrails and content filters were used. The official privacy and overview documentation was updated July 9, 2026.
