So I'm trying to get back into writing a wee bit, and since I'm out of practice, I'd like to put my writing through the wringer after it's finished to sort out not just spelling or simple grammar errors, but more complex ones as well. I've looked into grammar checkers online, but Grammarly seems to be the only one I've found since it appears on numerous different sites under different names. Not to sound cheap, but I don't want to pay for a premium upgrade to check my work - I'm a very casual writer for a small audience, so it's honestly not worth the cost.

If anyone has any suggestions for free tools online that can pick up phrasing errors or other more advanced mistakes than spelling and punctuation, I'd be grateful if you could share them with me!

I hate the fact I had to come to Reddit for this, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I'm well aware that since the dawn of time grammar checkers have been technically A.I. based but that's not why I'm asking this. It seems that these days everything needs to be powered by A.I. and all I want is a simple "make sure to put a comma at the end of your quote" grammar checker instead of something that does everything for you. Does anyone have any suggestions?
