Sapling review

Sapling is a grammar checker designed for teams that write to customers all day. The free plan gives basic suggestions, 20 snippets and AI detection up to 2,000 characters per check, and works in Chrome, Google Docs, Outlook and Word. Pro, at $12 per month billed annually or $25 monthly, adds advanced suggestions, Autocomplete Everywhere, Rephrase, unlimited snippets and unlimited use on premium domains. New accounts get a one-month Pro trial without a card. Enterprise starts at 10 seats and $15 per seat per month, and adds chat assist, team analytics, conversational insights, SSO and SCIM, custom integrations and a self-hosted option. A usage-based API and an MCP server let developers add grammar and AI detection to their own tools. For a single student it offers less than Grammarly, but for a support desk that wants autocomplete and shared snippets with admin controls, it fits well.

Support and sales teams that want grammar help plus autocomplete and snippets in their apps.
