Grammarly is an English language writing-enhancement platform developed by Grammarly, Inc., which was launched in late 2009. Grammarly's proofreading and plagiarism-detection resources[3] check more than 250 grammar rules.[4][5][6]

History

The company was founded in 2009 by Alex Shevchenko and Max Lytvyn, in Kyiv.[6][7] Brad Hoover, the company's chief executive officer, is an investor with a background in engineering who first learned about Grammarly while searching for an automated proofreading tool for his own writing.[7]

Grammarly has its headquarters in San Francisco, and an additional office is in Kyiv.[7]

Recognition

After being compared against three other services, Grammarly won the "Gold Award" from the TopTenReviews site in 2013 in the "Best Online Grammar Checker Comparisons and Reviews" comparison, with a rating of 8.88. [3][8]
