Grammarly vs ChatGPT
Copy editing prose you have already written
Grammarly fixes sentences. A chat model replaces them. Which you need depends on whether the thinking is already done.
Pick Grammarly when
You want the corrections to appear as you type, in whatever application you are actually in, without a second window.
Pick ChatGPT when
You want a rewrite rather than a correction, and you are willing to move the text somewhere else to get it.
