Hi everyone,
I need your suggestions regarding proof-reading of my research document. I am already using Grammarly Premium Version for proofreading my work. I feel that Grammarly still mises lots of mistakes. Can you share some suggestions for Proof-reading software? How was your experience? Pricing and discounts?
Thanks in advance.

To get started with the principles, I recommend a book, not software. Line by Line by Claire Kehrwald Cook is a classic, and definitely a good read.
Grammatically Correct by Anne Stilman is another recommendation. And, finally, The Elements of Style by Strunk and White will be very helpful.
Possibly, you will not even need software but the built-in spell checker of your work processor after thoroughly working through these titles and reflecting on your own writing style afterwards.
Hello,
Dear Tim A Majchrzak,
Thanks for your advice. I just obtained these books and will start reading these from tomorrow. Thanks for your kind advice.
Regards and Best wishes.
Good luck! Copy editing takes patience, and I guess also much experience – particularly if you are not a native speaker. However, I believe one can improve own works considerably, and also gain at least some routine over time. Interestingly, the books I mentioned also help in getting rid of some stereotypes and questionable writing decisions that many people make – such as writing long sentences, using complicated language, and employing stilted forms.
