**Answer.** Lazyweb Research detected 67 distinct experiments at Grammarly (July 2026), weighted toward home (at least 17) with 8 on signup. [1] The copyable pattern is outcome-led benefit framing that refreshes a mature paywall without touching price anchors, plus progress-signaling CTA copy. [2] These are observed variations with inferred rationale, not confirmed A/B tests.

> Lazyweb Research detected 67 Grammarly experiments (July 2026), including a paywall rewrite around full-sentence rewrites and fluency with prices unchanged.

## The finding

Lazyweb Research detected **67 distinct experiments** at Grammarly, weighted toward home (at least 17) with at least 8 on signup. [1] Grammarly's detected work is a good reference for refreshing a mature product's messaging without changing its pricing.

## What actually changed

A dated diff (2026-01-28) moved the headline from broad grammar coverage to plan-oriented writing support and rewrote premium benefits around full-sentence rewrites, fluency, and AI help — with prices unchanged. Inferred rationale: outcome-led benefit framing can refresh a mature paywall without touching price anchors. [2] A separate diff (2025-11-19) changed CTA copy from "Next" to "Get Started," signaling immediate onboarding progress. [3]

| Detected change | Date | Inferred rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Grammar-coverage headline -> outcome-led benefit rewrite, prices unchanged | 2026-01-28 | Refreshes a mature paywall without moving price anchors [2] |
| CTA "Next" -> "Get Started" | 2025-11-19 | Signals immediate onboarding progress [3] |

## How to apply it

Grammarly's headline rewrite is the copyable pattern for any established paywall that feels stale: rewrite benefits around outcomes (what the user achieves) rather than features, and leave the price anchors alone so the test isolates messaging. The "Next" to "Get Started" swap is a trivially cheap CTA test worth running on onboarding steps. Both are detected variations, not proven winners. [2][3]

## Caveats

All figures are observed variations with LLM-inferred rationale, not company-confirmed A/B tests — no lift is measured. [1] Grammarly had only 1 experiment detected in 2026, so this is framed as most-recent detected changes with dated diffs, not a current-year claim. [1] Surface splits are lower bounds. [4]

## The numbers

| Stat | Computed from |
| --- | --- |
| 67 distinct experiments; at least 17 home, 8 signup; 1 in 2026 | company_total:grammarly (value 67; home 17, signup 8, in-2026 1) |
| Outcome-led paywall rewrite, prices unchanged, 2026-01-28 | qualitative[] grammarly 2026-01-28 entry |
| CTA 'Next' -> 'Get Started', 2025-11-19 | qualitative[] grammarly 2025-11-19 entry |
| 1,425 of 4,814 experiments have no screen category | screen_category_null_on_experiments (1425/4814) |

## Methodology

Universe: 67 distinct Grammarly experiments within 4,814 detected diffs, July 2026. Extraction: LLM-inferred rationale on observed variations. Caveat: detected variations only; framed as most-recent detected changes.
