I learnt this the hard way. Had a bunch of articles thrown back to me by the client for failing plagiarism checks.

On Grammarly, the plagiarism score can be 0-1%, but on Copyscape will still flag the consecutive texts in the article.

For correcting grammar and vocab, Grammarly is pretty competent. It's definitely not worth $30 per month just for grammar checks.

Better to just save the money and invest in some Copyscape credits.
 
This is very true. I know a few guys at my university who got in a lot of trouble when their articles where a little two plagiarised.
 
There is no real problems with the program, but it often messes up on the plagiarism. Rest of the software is just dashing.
No problems with plagiarism checker, I use it daily, I gave up on copyscape
 
Glad to know grammarly works for you guys.

As an all-rounded writing assistant software, grammarly definitely gets the job done.

For those who have given up on copyscape, maybe you can try quetext.

It costs 10$ per month and allows checking up to 5 articles at once. Which is great if you have bulk articles to check.
