		conradklnspl on Sept 18, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Scramble: Open-Source Alternative to Grammarly How does this compare to https://languagetool.org, which is also open source? I'm not sure what kind of AI Languagetool uses but it works really well!

LanguageTool is not open source; it is open core. There are proprietary "premium rules," and you won't get them in a self-hosted version.

Self hosted & open core seems distinctly better than an open wrapper around a black box core that's hosted by a 3rd party.

They use the LGPL license for a lot of their work.
