It's still FOSS, and you can either download it offline or selfhost the server if you want to use it without paying. Services cost money to run, I'm not going to ask for them to run that for free indefinitely 🤷
Worth paying for. Honestly guys selhost for yourself and family contribute to project you depend on, and pay for everything else you don't have the time to do that too.
Its free as in freedom, not free as in beer. Their still FOSS even so this isn't even a rug pull imho. The worst thing is it requires an account which hurts the privacy aspect of that. One the few times something like Meta mask actually makes sense... Maybe some way to get an token generated and sent for use rather than a blanket account
And now everyone who is salty about it repeats:
If you don't pay for it you are the product.
Tbh, their product is much better than the alternatives, especially for non English cases and we selfhost it anyway for aged now.
Which works perfectly well and remains free and open - source.

I guess they harvested enough user data by now and don't need to give it away for free anymore, well it had some uses but not enough for me to pay for

After reading this, I installed the local server and just routed the extension there. Took less than 20 min.
My only concern is the desktop app has no server selection setting.

People here don't seem to understand that this is only for the browser extension, you can still use the site directly...

Ooof. I think it's a pretty useful tool, but not worth anything close to what they're asking for a paid subscription.

Well, Harper's a thing, for English.

Are there any alternatives besides the local model?

There is https://writewithharper.com/

Thanks!

Just checked, and it's nice to use. Too bad it only supports english for now, but still a good alternative.
alxvs@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 252d

Tbh as long as the libreoffice extraction stays free then no problem imo.

Well, Since their alternative Quillbot does not support Firefox. I might switch to Grammarly
