How to share your Antidote subscription?
With the rise of the Internet, words are flashing before our eyes. To explain the concepts of a product or to promote the services of a company, contents are published regularly. However, in order for them to have the desired effect, the quality of the language used (French, English, and many others) has to be right. With Antidote, success is guaranteed! Did you know that if you have an Antidote subscription, you can share it?
What is Antidote?
Antidote is the ultimate grammar checker. It is known throughout the world and its reputation precedes it. It is also a proven writing aid for English and French. The tool combines ten dictionaries, an inspection prism, a proofreader, ten language guides, a revision prism and other tools.
Its advantages and disadvantages
Speaking good English is not enough: you also need to write flawless English. That’s where Antidote comes in. The biggest advantages of this tool are its power and versatility. It is more effective than the standard checkers in Word, Thunderbird or Chrome. It can also handle variations in language and colloquial expressions. As for its weaknesses, some people find a few of its corrections a little far-fetched.
Subscription packages available for Antidote
Druide offers four different Antidote plans, depending on the number of users and languages (Druide’s online store lists its prices in euros):
– Antidote + personal for one account:
- €59 a year for the single-language version (English or French);
- €89 a year for the bilingual personal version (English and French);
– Antidote + Family for five accounts:

How do I add a guest user?
The responsible user is the person managing the subscription. The guest user is the person who is invited to join the subscription. If she doesn’t have an account yet, an email address is required to create one. The supervised user is the one who does not require an email address. It is intended for children under 16 years old.
Antidote and the family plan
The responsible user manages users to share Antidote. The Antidote+Family subscription is accessible from the “Subscriptions” tab. You can then choose Antidote+. The “Users” field is located at the bottom of the page.
