QuillBot

QuillBot is a multilingual writing suite for paraphrasing, checking, summarizing, and related tasks. It suits writers who want several tools across devices, and teams that need shared administration. The main trade-off is a narrow free paraphrasing allowance and no published Premium price.

Overview

QuillBot started in 2017 as a paraphrasing tool intended to help English-language learners, and now spans writing, communication, design, coding, and collaboration. Its range can consolidate common writing tasks, although people who need only one function may find a broad suite more than they need. The company reports more than 35 million monthly active writers and 225 employees.

Multilingual writers have a notable reason to consider it: Premium supports paraphrasing in 23 languages and translation into more than 40. QuillBot also offers SEO features and team collaboration, making it relevant beyond solo drafting.

Key features

• Writing tools: Paraphrasing is joined by grammar and plagiarism checking, AI detection and humanizing, summaries, and citation generation. That breadth is useful for moving between revision and supporting tasks in one suite; it is less compelling if you want a focused tool for just one of them.
• Free access: The Free plan allows paraphrasing up to 100 words in two modes, plus basic grammar, basic summaries, and limited humanizing and AI Detector access. It can cover brief edits, but the word cap makes it a poor fit for regular work on longer passages.
• Cross-platform workflow: A subscription works across QuillBot apps and platforms, and Premium can be used on up to 10 devices at once. The desktop app can appear as a widget in apps including Slack, Notes, and Messages; Premium also includes a Word add-in. These integrations suit writers who want tools near their existing work, rather than a web-only workflow.
• Privacy and security: QuillBot says it encrypts connections, restricts access to customer data, and does not sell user content or data. It also says it works toward GDPR compliance, abides by the CCPA, complies with PCI DSS, and is verified through CASA Tier 2. Inputs and usage data may be used to provide and personalize the service and train improvements; Team Plan users’ text inputs are not used for training.

Pricing

QuillBot uses a freemium model. The Free plan costs nothing, billed per month, and includes paraphrasing up to 100 words in two modes, basic grammar, basic summaries, and limited humanizing and AI Detector access. It is a reasonable way to try brief edits, but its cap and restricted access are meaningful constraints for heavier use.

Premium has no published price and is billed annually. Its stated allowances include 25,000 plagiarism-checker words per month, 6,000 words in Summarizer, 300 AI images per month, and 100 MB of Flow storage. Those quotas help define the package, but without a price it is difficult to judge its cost against your workload.

Team Plan pricing is billed every 12 months: $750 a year for 2–10 seats (billed €89,95), $666 a year for 11–50 seats (billed €79,95), and $583 a year for 51+ seats (billed €69,95). Each includes all Premium features, writer-management dashboards, and centralized billing. Teams needing oversight and shared billing have a clear reason to choose it; solo users do not get those administrative benefits.

Platforms

QuillBot lists web, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS apps, plus Chrome, Edge, and Safari extensions. That coverage suits people switching between desktop, mobile, and browser work. The desktop widgets and Word add-in add options for bringing its tools into other writing environments.

Who it's for

QuillBot is strongest for multilingual writers, students, and other individuals who want paraphrasing alongside checking and summarizing, and for teams that need centralized administration. It is less suited to frequent paraphrasing on the free plan or to buyers who need a clear Premium price before comparing subscriptions.

Pros and cons

• Pro: A broad set of writing tools can support several stages of drafting and revision without relying on a single-purpose paraphraser.
• Pro: Support across desktop, mobile, browsers, and up to 10 Premium devices makes it practical for people who change devices during their work.
• Pro: Team Plan combines Premium features with dashboards and centralized billing, useful for administering multiple writers.
• Con: Free paraphrasing stops at 100 words and two modes, limiting its usefulness for longer passages.
• Con: Premium’s price is not published, leaving individuals without a clear basis for weighing its paid allowances against cost.
• Con: QuillBot says inputs and usage data may be used to train improvements, which may matter to users cautious about submitting text.
