QuillBot
AI paraphrasing and writing assistant used by over 35 million writers — grammar checking, plagiarism detection, and tone adjustment from $8.33/mo
QuillBot excels at its core job: improving existing text through paraphrasing, grammar correction, and tone adjustment. With over 35 million users, it's one of the most widely adopted writing tools available. The free tier is generous enough for casual use, and the Premium annual plan ($8.33/mo) undercuts Grammarly significantly. For students and non-native English writers, QuillBot delivers strong value. For content creation from scratch, look elsewhere.
What we like
- Paraphrasing engine with 9 modes (Standard, Fluency, Formal, Academic, Creative, and more) is genuinely versatile
- Free tier includes basic paraphrasing and grammar checking with no account required — immediate value
- Chrome extension, Google Docs, and Microsoft Word integrations keep the tool accessible across platforms
- Annual pricing ($99.95/year) works out to $8.33/mo — significantly cheaper than Grammarly Premium
Where it falls short
- Free version limits paraphrasing to 125 words at a time — frustrating for longer documents
- AI sometimes produces awkward or overly formal rephrasing that requires manual review
- Plagiarism checker limited to 25,000 words/month on Premium — power users may hit this cap
