Linguix
A grammar and rewriting checker that works across any browser text box, with a paid tier for teams that adds shared snippets and style rules.
What you'd use it for
Catching grammar and tone slips in whatever you're already typing, from a support reply to a LinkedIn post, without leaving the page you're on.
- Grammar and spell checking in English plus six other languages, live in the text box
- Rewrite a sentence to fix grammar or shorten and expand it with the AI rewriter
- Score a piece of writing on sentence length, vocabulary and passive voice
- Expand a short typed trigger into a full pre-written reply or template
- Add-ins for Outlook and MS Word alongside the browser extension
The verdict
Linguix does the same job as Grammarly at a lower price, and its unlimited typing shortcuts on Pro are the feature worth paying for if you write the same kind of message often. It's a checker, not a drafting tool, so it only helps once you've already got words on the screen. Fine for a solo writer or a small team standardising replies; not worth it if you need deep style analytics across a whole team.

Where it breaks
A Business tier is referenced in comparison material but not detailed with its own price on the current pricing page — confirm directly if you're evaluating for a team rather than an individual.
Browser extension plus desktop apps. Positioned as a direct Grammarly alternative, with a business tier for team-wide typing shortcuts and shared style rules.
First entry in this reference. There is no previous check to compare it against.
When not to use it
Not for anyone who needs it to write from a blank page, or a team that needs usage analytics and shared style enforcement across dozens of writers — the Business tier for that isn't priced on the current site.
Linguix sits in the same category as Grammarly: a grammar and clarity checker that works inside whatever text box you’re already typing in, rather than a standalone editor you have to switch to. The free tier is a genuinely complete basic checker — grammar, spelling, limited paraphrasing — with Pro adding the parts that matter for regular use: unlimited typing shortcuts and deeper style and tone suggestions.
What “typing shortcuts” actually means
The shortcut feature — expanding a short trigger into a full pre-written block of text — is more useful for a business than it sounds, especially for anyone writing the same kind of response repeatedly: support replies, outreach templates, standard email boilerplate. Free caps this feature; Pro removes the limit, which is often the real reason a solo user upgrades rather than the grammar checking itself.
Where it competes
Against Outwrite, Linguix is priced similarly and covers similar ground, with the typing-shortcut feature as its clearer differentiator; Outwrite leans slightly more toward sentence rewriting and readability scoring. Neither replaces a dedicated tool like Sapling once you need team-wide analytics inside a help desk.
What it doesn’t do
Linguix checks and rewrites what you’ve already typed — it isn’t a drafting tool that writes from a blank page the way a general chat assistant does, and it doesn’t do long-form document editing the way Type does.
Alternatives
Writing & editingAppsGrammarly
An AI writing assistant that lives inside the apps you already type in, correcting and rewriting as you go rather than waiting for you to paste something into a chat box.
Writing & editingAppsOutwrite
Rewrites sentences for clarity and length and shows a readability score as you edit, on top of standard grammar and spelling checks.
Writing & editingAppsSapling
Suggests replies and catches errors inside help desks and CRMs as your team types, rather than in a standalone document editor.
Writing & editingAppsType
A document editor where you brief the AI on what you're writing and it drafts, edits and restructures the piece in place, rather than answering in a side chat panel.
