Microsoft Word
This is not an online grammar checker but it does help with grammar and spelling.
Microsoft Word fixes spelling mistakes, suggests rephrasing sentences, detects grammar mistakes, and has a thesaurus that enables you to know the synonyms of the word. According to a post written by Mahmoud Ebeid on Facebook, Microsoft word has an option in its grammar settings that allows you to make your writing more formal, or you can choose an option to detect any political, sexual, or age bias.
There’s also an option that detects vague words.
