Is self-hosting LanguageTool worth it?
Is self-hosting LanguageTool worth it?
LanguageTool is a free grammar checker and paraphraser for English, Spanish, and 30 other languages. Instantly check your text for grammar and style mistakes.
I'm thinking of either self-hosting LanguageTool or buying the premium version. What's the pros and cons of each decision?
I'm comfortable in self-hosting stuff. Nevertheless, I don't want to have much hassle building the language rules, grammars, and dictionaries. Premium pricing seems tempting (much affordable than Grammarly), but I do want to own my data and privacy!
For more context, I write in English most of the time. I don't care about other languages.
You can just run it from your local computer. I did that because I wanted it to be available offline.
