Grammarly Premium: subscription on your own account or a shared account — which to pick
Grammarly checks and improves English text: grammar, spelling, style and tone. Premium lifts the basic limits and adds full-sentence rewrites, tone adjustment and plagiarism checks. Marketplaces sell Premium in two formats — a subscription on your own account or a shared account — and the difference between them is bigger than the price gap suggests.
Format 1: subscription on your account
Grammarly Premium — 1–12 month subscription — the seller sets up Premium on your own Grammarly account for 1, 3 or 12 months; the paid term shows up in your subscription settings. Conditions from the listing:
- after payment you send the seller a unique code and your sign-in details — change the password once the order is done;
- the account must have no active subscriptions;
- if you sign in with Google, set a password in advance via email reset — login-and-password access is required.
The main advantage of this format: your texts, checking history, dictionary and settings stay with you, in your own profile.
Format 2: shared account
Grammarly Premium — shared account for 1–3 months — after payment you automatically receive sign-in details for a ready-made account used by several buyers at once. From the listing: you cannot attach your own email, changing the password is forbidden (access is cancelled without replacement), the warranty covers the paid term from delivery, and the seller replaces the account if problems occur.
Privacy deserves a plain statement: the checking history is stored in the account, and a shared account is visible to its other users. That may be acceptable for neutral texts, but work documents, correspondence and anything confidential should not go through this format. More on how shared accounts differ from personal ones — in “Shared account, personal account or key”.
Comparing the formats
| Criterion | Your account | Shared account |
|---|---|---|
| Text privacy | Checking history stays with you | Other users see the account |
| Term | 1, 3 or 12 months | 1 or 3 months |
| Delivery | Seller sets it up after you hand over details | Automatic, right after payment |
| Password | Your own; change it after setup | Changing it is forbidden |
| What you need | A Grammarly account with no active subscriptions | Nothing beyond the delivered details |
What to check before paying
- Format and term. Decide what matters more: privacy and your own profile, or the minimum price for a short term.
- Account readiness (for the on-your-account format): login-and-password access, no active subscriptions.
- Usage rules (for the shared account): don’t change the password or attach an email — otherwise access is cancelled.
- Regional availability. Both listings carry a neutral note that the service may be unavailable in some regions.
- Warranty and reviews on the seller’s page — real experience with replacements and support.
Bazelio is a storefront: payment is taken by the seller on the payment platform, and the seller handles setup, delivery and support. If you are putting together a set of work tools, also see the Notion plans guide, and find every service in the Subscriptions category.
