Since English is not my mother tongue, I always try to improve it either by writing more or by reading or even using some apps like Grammarly (which helps me to avoid typos and grammatical errors if any). I have been using Grammarly from May 5, 2019, i.e. almost a year. In this post, I will go through some of the lifetime stats of Grammarly or most importantly what I have achieved in the last one year of using it.
First let's find out what exactly Grammarly is, Grammarly is a writing tool which helps us to check the common errors which we usually make. The most common checks which it does is Grammer, Spell Check and Punctuation and thus it helps me to improve my grammar to some extent. But the problem is I have the Basic Account and thus the features are limited, there are features like Consistency in your writing, Fluency, Conciseness and others which you can get in the Premium Account. The newest addition is Tone check and which is actually helpful so that it should adhere to the audience for which you are writing for.
Grammarly can be used by anyone, but it's much more useful for non-native English speakers because you get a sense of what is not correct in your writing. Also, it gives a language preference and thus you can choose accordingly.
The good part is Grammarly have a Chrome extension which checks the content in almost every website and thus it makes it a great extension to have.
Grammarly had helped me a lot in finding repetitive words, spell check and also missing comma which I usually forget.

Few more stats of Grammarly, which is just like Gaming badges. I have achieved 12 weeks of activity which means checking every week for 12 weeks. It would have been more but 1 month back I cleared the cache and thus did not login back and my stats were missed.

Last week writing stats. I have checked around 6744 words last week and 121 alerts are shown that means one alert in every 56 words which I need to improve it to 1 alert in every 100 words. Seems like my vocabulary is good, but I don't think so, need to improve that also.
The all-time stats, which means around 320 words every day. That is also a good start, but again I think I need to improve it to around 500 words. Because the more I write, the more I become better at it.
Grammarly seems to be a decent product if you want to have a quick check of your writing, and I would suggest it to be used by everyone even if you are a native English speaker or not. There is no need to have a paid subscription I think because free subscription does its work pretty well.
