Grammarly or ChatGPT: Do You Need Both? Explained by Softprom, Superhuman and OpenAI Partner
News | 28.08.2026
“We already have ChatGPT. Why should I pay again?” — this is the most common question IT directors hear when their team asks for a corporate Grammarly plan. The short answer: ChatGPT and Grammarly are different classes of tools, and in companies that run both, they cover different jobs. Softprom — a value-added IT distributor since 1999, official supplier of Superhuman (formerly Grammarly) solutions and an OpenAI partner under the OpenAI SMB Channel Partner program across Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia — explains the difference without marketing oversimplifications.
The Short Answer
ChatGPT is a universal assistant an employee goes to with a task: open a tab, write a prompt, copy the result back. Grammarly is a writing layer that is already present where people write — email, CRM, messengers, the browser — with more than 1 million app and website integrations. The first is irreplaceable for analysis, generation, and working with data. The second makes sure every email and document the company sends is correct, in the right tone, and in the brand style — with zero copy-pasting.
Grammarly and ChatGPT: Who Covers What

| Generating documents and reports from scratch | + | |
| Analyzing data, spreadsheets and files | + | |
| One brand style in English for the whole team (style guides) | + | |

Why “Just ChatGPT” Does Not Replace Grammarly
The difference is not the quality of the language model — it is where the tool works. To check an email through ChatGPT, an employee has to stop, copy the text into the chat, wait for the answer, compare, paste it back — for every single email. In practice nobody does this systematically: only the “important” texts get checked, while daily correspondence goes out as is. Grammarly works the other way around: checking and tone apply to 100% of texts automatically, without changing anyone’s habits. That is why these tools are used by 40 million people daily across 50,000 organizations¹.
There is a flip side: Grammarly will not generate an analytical report, process a spreadsheet, or answer questions against the company knowledge base. For that you need ChatGPT Business or Enterprise — with corporate access controls and data governance.
Grammarly Is Now Called Superhuman: What It Changes
In October 2025 the Grammarly company united its products under the Superhuman brand². The Superhuman Suite is four products: Grammarly (writing assistance), Superhuman Mail (a fast email client with AI triage), Superhuman Go (a proactive assistant working across 100+ connected apps), and Superhuman Docs (a workspace for documents and data, formerly Coda). For companies this means the former “grammar checker” has grown into a productivity platform that no longer competes with a dictionary — it competes for the employee’s entire workday.
Companies obtain Superhuman solutions through Softprom as the official supplier, while OpenAI solutions are connected via Softprom as an OpenAI SMB Channel Partner — through the referral program, with guidance on plans and rollout in 33 countries.
FAQ
Yes — if employees write emails and messages every day: Superhuman (Grammarly) works inside applications and checks 100% of texts automatically, while ChatGPT requires switching to a chat tab and copying by hand.
No. Report generation, data analysis and working with the company knowledge base are jobs for OpenAI (ChatGPT Business / Enterprise). The optimal stack is both tools with different roles.
Superhuman is the new name of the Grammarly company since October 2025. The Suite includes Grammarly, Superhuman Mail, Superhuman Go and Superhuman Docs (formerly Coda).
The business editions — Grammarly Business and ChatGPT Business / Enterprise — provide corporate access controls and data processing policies that personal accounts do not have. Softprom helps select the right configuration for a specific company.
