About QuillBot

QuillBot is best known for its paraphraser, which rewrites a sentence or paragraph in several modes such as fluent, formal, simple or shorter. Around it sit a grammar checker, a summariser, a citation generator, an AI-text detector, a translator and a plagiarism checker, all in one web app with a Chrome extension and add-ins for Microsoft Word and Google Docs. Students are its core audience, and the free tier is generous enough for occasional use, with limits on how much text you can paraphrase at once and fewer rewriting modes. Premium removes most limits and unlocks the extra modes and plagiarism checks. QuillBot is owned by Learneo, the company formerly known as Course Hero. Its rewrites are quick and useful for getting unstuck, but heavy use can flatten your voice, and academic users should check their institution's rules on paraphrasing tools.

Best for: Students and non-native writers who mainly want to rephrase and summarise text.
