Paperpal is an AI research and academic writing workspace for students and researchers. Users can upload PDFs and references, ask questions, and get cited findings drawn from more than 300 million verified research articles. For drafting and revision, it offers academic writing suggestions, paraphrasing, tone changes, word reduction, grammar correction, proofreading, and citation formatting. Its checks cover plagiarism, AI-writing patterns, references, and journal submission readiness. Paperpal is available on the web and as a browser extension, with a Microsoft Word add-in and extension support for Google Docs and Overleaf. The free plan includes 200 language suggestions, five generative AI uses daily, 7,000 plagiarism-check words monthly, and five daily AI-detection scans of up to 1,200 words each. Prime is 12.00 USD per year (billed $144 a year ($12/month; billed annually)) or 25.00 USD per month (billed $25 a month (billed monthly)). Paperpal says user documents are not used to train its AI and can be deleted.
