It's a third pass to check for grammar errors after self-editing and Word grammar check.If I may ask, why do people use Grammarly in the first place? Because they're uncertain about their grammar?
This might be an unpopular opinion, but if you're serious about writing, even just for fun, the logical move would be to brush up on grammatical rules. I'm sure there are free online courses. Spend a few hours on one of those, particularly if you know what your weak spota are, and you'll be a better writer.
You'll know why a sentence works the way it does, and what leeway you have for playing with the rules, instead of relying on a machine to shore up the problem areas.
It's always good to get someone or something else to review your work because everyone goes blind to mistakes after a couple passes.
I'm a little surprised that a professional editor is advising not to use tools to double check the text.
