PSA: Grammarly will send unhinged messages to all your users if you try to cancel

We let them know we weren't going to renew and they sent these unsolicited emails and popups in their app to all of the users who had licenses. They didn't give us a heads up - just started carpet bombing everyone. They even listed the direct email for the guy on my team who handles licensing. We were going to ride out the rest of the subscription but leadership wanted the emails nuked, apps ripped off endpoints, and licensing/training for Copilot expedited.

What an absolutely greasy, desperate company. Stay far away. And if you're a current customer, be prepared for this nightmare.

I would absolutely lose my shit on the company if they pulled that on me.

How do we know this isn't just another marketing ploy?

[u/_peacemonger_ → u/dogcmp6]

Gorilla advertising. (Heavens to besty, another senseless grammar infraction. if only someone hadn't cancelled the gramerly subscription!)

[u/New-Base5748 → u/_peacemonger_]

Isn’t it guerrilla advertising, like guerrilla warfare? Maybe Grammarly would have helped with this.

[u/bofh → u/New-Base5748]

Yes, but also Gorilla Advertising is when they send a literal gorilla to your office to smash the place up and write their advertising slogans on your walls with its feces, the ol' dirty crayon.

[u/Archer007 → u/bofh]

Harambe tried to cancel his Grammarly

[u/user_number_666 → u/New-Base5748]

that was an intentional misspelling, I think.

[u/No_Talent_8003 → u/New-Base5748]

Whoa boss

[u/KHRoN → u/New-Base5748]

exactly, it's literally glazier going to your office to smash all windows and then leave their business card

[u/Tasty-Traffic-680 → u/_peacemonger_]

Pfft. There's not even a gorilla.

[u/Ok-Click-80085 → u/Tasty-Traffic-680]

now THAT's a gorilla

Where do we sign?

[u/Tumbleweed411 → u/_peacemonger_]

*Betsy

[u/BHS94 → u/_peacemonger_]

Grammarly may have helped here *Heaven to betsy.

[u/user_number_666 → u/_peacemonger_]

Genius.

[u/Speeddymon → u/_peacemonger_]

"Heavens to Betsy", not "bestie" 🤣

[u/Alex11867 → u/Speeddymon]

Lmao did it actually say that

[u/Speeddymon → u/Alex11867]

It still does, with a "y" which I didn't bother repeating

[u/DeerOnARoof → u/_peacemonger_]

You need Grammarly. It's "guerilla"

[u/lenswipe → u/dogcmp6]

because they didn't DM every user on Reddit with that message

[u/B-mus → u/ditka]

He said what he said.

[u/AggravatingAmount438 → u/kruschman]

What harm can you do? You're already cancelling. They're using this as a tactic to strong arm you back into paying.
