Frequently Asked Questions

Is Clarice.ai's Portuguese checking really better than Grammarly's?+
Absolutely. I tested both side-by-side on Brazilian blog posts. Clarice caught nuanced preposition errors, regional idiom issues, and formal register problems that Grammarly completely overlooked. For serious Portuguese work, there's no contest.
Can I use the free plan for professional work?+
Only for very short pieces. The monthly character limit is low. I burned through it on two client blog posts. For consistent professional use, the Pro plan is essentially mandatory and worth the investment.
How does the tone adjustment work for different cultures?+
It's culturally aware. Adjusting to 'Formal' in Portuguese uses more deferential phrasing than English. In my tests, it correctly suggested the 'você' form over 'tu' in Brazilian professional contexts, which is a subtle but critical distinction.
Does it work offline or have a desktop app?+
No, and this is a drawback. It requires an internet connection via browser or extension. I've been caught without Wi-Fi and couldn't polish a document. They should prioritize a native desktop application.
Is the plagiarism checker reliable for academic use?+
It's good for a first pass, but I wouldn't rely on it solely for academia. It matched my text against online sources well, but for rigorous academic integrity, dedicated tools like Turnitin have more extensive proprietary databases.
