What is the GRAMMARLY PRO ANNUAL charge on my credit card?

What this charge usually means

The descriptor GRAMMARLY PRO ANNUAL is most commonly an annual subscription renewal for Grammarly Pro, Grammarly’s paid writing and AI assistance plan. Annual plans are typically billed as a single upfront payment once per year, so this charge can appear suddenly if you forgot the renewal date. In many cases, the account owner first subscribed through a free trial, a monthly plan that was later changed, or a team setup where one card pays for one or more seats.

If the charge is legitimate, it should line up with your Grammarly subscription details and billing emails. Grammarly states that subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled before the renewal date, and bank posting can lag by a few days. That timing difference often makes people think the charge is random when it is actually a scheduled renewal.

Why it may appear even if you did not expect it

• Automatic renewal was enabled on an annual Grammarly Pro plan.
• You started a trial and did not cancel before conversion.
• You have more than one Grammarly account and only canceled one.
• A family member or coworker used your card for a shared or team seat.
• Your bank updated card credentials automatically after card replacement.

If you recognize the merchant but not the exact amount, check whether extra seats were added to a team plan or whether taxes/currency conversion changed the final total.

How to verify the charge quickly

First, search your email inboxes for “Grammarly” and recent receipts. Then sign in at Grammarly and open subscription settings to confirm the next or most recent billing event. Compare the statement posting date, amount, and billing period. If details do not match, open a support request with your statement screenshot (redact full card number), charge date, and amount. Grammarly support is handled online rather than by phone, so the support portal is the fastest route.

It can also help to review similar subscription-style descriptors so you know what normal recurring billing looks like. For comparison, see Patreon and Cash App.

How to cancel future renewals

Canceling stops the next renewal but usually does not erase access immediately; you generally keep paid features through the end of the current term. In your Grammarly account, go to the subscription section and choose the cancellation flow. Save confirmation emails and screenshots after canceling. If you subscribed through Apple’s App Store, cancellation and refund handling may need to be done through Apple instead of directly in Grammarly.

How refunds and disputes are handled

Grammarly’s support policy indicates refunds are generally issued when required by law, with billing-error cases reviewed through support requests. If you believe this was an unauthorized transaction, contact your card issuer immediately to lock or replace the card and file a dispute. If the charge is simply unexpected but authorized, start with merchant support first; card networks often resolve faster when you show cancellation records, support tickets, and proof of non-use after renewal.

When disputing with your bank, provide: the descriptor, amount, posted date, any cancellation timestamp, and correspondence with Grammarly support. Ask your issuer whether they can block future merchant-initiated attempts while the claim is in progress.
