Grammarly for students is described on the provider’s student page only as a free sign-up. The page names no student discount and no price for students. If you want to use Grammarly during your studies, first check whether your university provides a licence, then compare the premium price directly with the provider.
Short answer: Grammarly’s student page (as of October 2026) names no student discount and no premium prices. Sign-up is free according to the page. University licences run through a separate institutional page, whose terms are not on the student page. Last updated: October 2026. Offers change often.
The key points
- The student page names no discount and no student price.
- Sign-up is free according to the page.
- University licences run through the provider’s institutional page, which points to a sales contact.
- Premium prices are not on the student page. Compare them directly on the pricing page.
- Before you pay, check whether your university has a licence. Then an individual subscription is often unnecessary.
Is there a student offer for Grammarly?
Not with a stated price, as of October 2026. The student page promotes a free sign-up and refers to a licence through universities. It says nothing about prices, duration, verification or supported countries. Ask the IT department of your university whether Grammarly is licensed. They usually know which contracts exist.
Offer at a glance
| Service | Regular price | Student price | Duration | Verification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sign-up | free according to the page | no student price named | not applicable | not stated |
| Premium (individual) | not on the student page, check the pricing page | no student price named | not stated | not stated |
| University licence | not public | through your university | not stated | not stated |
We do not name a price here, because the page we checked states no figure. That does not mean there is no price. It is on the provider’s pricing page.
What does Grammarly cost during your studies? How to calculate it
- Note the monthly price for Premium and the price for annual billing on the pricing page.
- Multiply the monthly price by the number of months you use the tool. Assumption: twelve months.
- Compare the result with the cost of a university licence, if your university provides one.
How to activate the offer
A student discount with a price is not documented in our check. These steps help you find the right access.
- Sign up with a normal account and test the features you really need.
- Ask your university’s IT department whether a licence for Grammarly exists. They usually know the existing contracts.
- If you have a university licence, note until when it applies and check it before the end of the semester.
- Without a licence, compare the Premium price on the pricing page and decide afterwards.
What happens after your studies?
A university licence usually depends on your enrolment. How long access continues after you leave the university is set by your university and the provider. A private Premium subscription continues until you end it. Check your account before the end of the semester and cancel any subscription you no longer need. The cancellation terms are in the provider’s terms of use.
What to watch for when using AI at university
A writing assistant changes wording, which is exactly why universities check whether it is allowed. Your examination regulations (Prüfungsordnung) and your institute’s guidelines decide. Do not enter unpublished research data or texts with personal information. Our guide Datenschutz bei KI-Tools im Studium (in German) explains the basics, and KI-Regeln an Hochschulen (in German) shows how rules differ between universities. You remain responsible for your text, so check every change before you accept it.
Which details to check before you subscribe
- The monthly price and the price for annual billing on the pricing page.
- Whether your university has a licence and until when it applies.
- The privacy notices for the texts you submit for checking.
- The notice period and renewal of the subscription.
