Spellmatic vs WProofreader spell & grammar check plugin for WordPress

Spellmatic scans your entire WordPress site for spelling and grammar errors, then lets you fix them in one click — including content built with Elementor, Avada, Divi, WPBakery, and more.

Zero external API calls. Zero data sent anywhere. Your content stays yours. The optional BYOK AI layer uses your own API key. Your key is stored encrypted on your server and all API calls go directly from your server to your chosen AI provider — Spellmatic never sees your content or your key. External Services This plugin connects to the following third-party services. Full details are also available on the Open Source & Services page inside the plugin (Spellmatic → Open Source). Grammar Engine — Harper (Bundled) The Harper grammar engine (Apache 2.0 licensed) is bundled with the plugin and runs entirely in your browser. No external connections are made during scanning. You may optionally update the grammar engine to get improved dictionaries and grammar rules. No external connections are made by the plugin for grammar engine updates — all updates are performed manually by the site administrator: Download the latest harper.js from the Harper npm package at https://www.npmjs.com/package/harper.js — the file is located in the dist/ folder of the package. Upload the file to wp-content/uploads/spellmatic/harper.js on your server (create the spellmatic folder if it does not exist). The plugin will automatically detect and use the uploaded file on the next page load. To revert, simply delete the file from wp-content/uploads/spellmatic/ — the plugin will fall back to the bundled version. Harper project: https://github.com/Automattic/harper Harper license: Apache License 2.0 Harper website: https://writewithharper.com AI-Powered Grammar Analysis (Optional, BYOK) When you enable the BYOK AI feature and initiate an AI scan, post and page text is sent to your chosen AI provider for contextual grammar analysis. This only occurs when you explicitly click “Scan” with AI enabled. API keys are encrypted with AES-256-CBC and stored on your server.
