Best Paraphrasing Tool | Free & Premium Tools Compared

Published on February 2, 2024 by Koen Driessen . Revised on July 11, 2024.

Paraphrasing means rewording something—expressing the same idea in different words. Paraphrasing tools (or paraphrasers) are AI-powered online tools that can automatically rewrite your text for you. Students often use them to improve their writing and provide inspiration—making their text more formal, more fluent, or more concise.

But which online paraphrasers are really reliable at producing correct and readable English? To find out, we tested seven of the most popular free tools—and their premium versions when available.

We wrote three short sample texts to test their ability to improve text that was long-winded , grammatically incorrect , or disjointed . We ran these texts through all the different tools and assessed the fluency and accuracy of the output. We also took the user-friendliness of the tools into consideration.

The results show that the premium versions of QuillBot and Wordtune are the best tools out there, each excelling in different ways. If you’re looking for a free tool, QuillBot and Paraphrase Tool are the strongest options.

• Great for shortening long-winded text
• Reliable, accurate, grammatically correct output
• Interactive synonym finder
• Seven modes with noticeably different results
• $19.95 per month (3-day money-back guarantee)
• No paragraph rewrite mode
• Does little to improve disjointed text

The premium version of QuillBot was one of the strongest paraphrasers we tested. Its “Shorten” mode was the best option for making long-winded text more concise. Unlike all other tools, it could consistently distinguish between unnecessary verbiage and essential details, often reducing the text’s length by more than 50% without compromising meaning.

With the grammatically incorrect text, QuillBot was quite consistent in its ability to remove glaring grammatical errors. But with this and the disjointed text, its ability to resolve sentence fragments was limited, since it seems to lack the ability to combine sentences—it only looks at each sentence individually. This problem was shared by most of the other tools we tested.

QuillBot’s interface is simple and usable, allowing you to choose from seven paraphrasing modes and manually adjust the number of synonyms. Paraphrasing is quick, and changes are clearly highlighted. You can also click on individual words to see more synonyms, with detailed information about how each should be used, making it flexible and informative.

• Paragraph rewrite mode is unique and helpful
• Does well with both disjointed and ungrammatical text
• 10 options for each paraphrase
• $24.99 per month
• “Shorten” mode not great
• Interface can be slightly buggy

Wordtune’s premium version was overall the most useful tool we tested. It provided a selection of 10 rewrites for each text. Not all of these were great, but there were generally a few good options in each case.

Where Wordtune stood out was in its whole-paragraph paraphrasing mode, which was able to combine sentences in an intelligent way, thus improving our disjointed and grammatically incorrect texts significantly. Unfortunately, the “Shorten” mode did little to actually shorten long-winded text, mostly functioning quite similarly to the standard rewrite mode.

We found the look of the site fairly clean and appreciated that it offers 10 different suggestions for each sentence. But we did find the interface somewhat awkward at times, and it was occasionally unable to generate suggestions in certain modes or would only generate one suggestion, suggesting some imperfections in the technology.

Try Wordtune

• Free, quick, and easy to use
• No “Shorten” mode in the free version

We found QuillBot’s free version almost as reliable as the premium option. Its changes were generally logical and fluent, staying true to the meaning of the original text while improving flow. And, like the premium version, it resolved grammatical errors well.

That said, its ability to cut down long-winded text was restricted, since the “Shorten” mode is a premium feature. The two free modes, “Standard” and “Fluency,” performed well for other purposes but did little to deal with long-windedness.

The other main differences are a word limit of 125 words per paraphrase and the fact that the highest setting for synonyms can’t be selected. Besides those changes, we found the interface just as usable in the free version as in the premium one.

Try the QuillBot paraphraser

• “Summary” mode is very good
• Handles all kinds of texts well (in “Summary” mode)
• Other modes are very inaccurately labeled
• Some modes add irrelevant content
• Changes not marked in the text

Paraphrase Tool offered a large selection of different modes to paraphrase our text, some of them very useful. The most useful mode by far (for all of our texts) was “Summary,” which did a decent job of shortening the long-winded text and was able to combine sentences in the disjointed and grammatically confused texts, creating a much smoother read.

We found that other modes were not very accurately labeled: The “Shorten” mode often produced a longer text than “Standard” when the long-winded text was used. “Grammar” mode appeared to just produce very long-winded and repetitive text, while “Smooth” mode added a lot of text that was not based on anything in the original.

We appreciated the clean, minimalistic design of the site, but we did find it unhelpful that the changes made are not marked in any way in the output text. You’re also required to buy a subscription after a certain number of inputs, which isn’t clear when you start. In general, this is a strong paraphraser in “Summary” mode but a very unreliable one in other modes.

Try Paraphrase Tool

• “Summary” mode is very good (but also available for free)
• No limit on inputs
• $7.99 per month (3-day free trial)
• Extra modes are not worth the cost, often ridiculous

Paraphrase Tool’s premium version allows you unlimited paraphrases and unlocks 11 additional modes: “Academic,” “Confident,” “Simple,” “Smart,” “Clear,” “Thoughtful,” “Elaborate,” “Creative,” “Formal,” “Cohesive,” and “Emphatic.”

However, we found that these modes weren’t very useful or very accurately labeled. The “Summary” mode, already available in the free version, remained the best choice for all of our texts. Other modes like “Emphatic” inserted a lot of irrelevant text that had nothing to do with the original, generally making the text much longer and largely incoherent.

Because of this, the only real reason to pay for this tool is to remove the limit on inputs. But if you’re willing to pay, there are better options available. As the only part we can give a solid recommendation to, “Summary” mode, is available for free, we don’t recommend paying.

Wordtune’s free version lacks the option to paraphrase whole paragraphs, the feature that really stood out to us, so it doesn’t score as well as the premium version.

Without this feature, Wordtune did perform decently at making sense of the grammatically incorrect text, although it didn’t make it all that fluent. But like other tools that work on a sentence-by-sentence basis, it did a poor job of improving disjointed text. The “Shorten” mode performed similarly to the premium version—not terribly, but not all that well.

We found it unfortunate that it limits users to 10 sentence rewrites per day in the free version and that rewrites can only be done on one sentence at a time. As with the premium version, we did like the overall look of the site. But if you’re looking for a free tool, QuillBot or Paraphrase Tool are better options.

• Paraphrases are reasonably fluent
• Some changes distort meaning
• Full of ads
• Slow and inconvenient to use

Rephrase did a moderately good job paraphrasing our texts. Its changes were generally more advanced than simply swapping out some words for synonyms, and they tended to mostly retain the original meaning (although with some differences such as changing “we” to “I”).

It tended to resolve obvious grammatical problems effectively, although it couldn’t make the text completely smooth. It performed similarly to other tools with disjointed text, failing to combine sentences. It managed to cut down the long-winded text more than most and divide one sentence into two to improve readability, but some of its changes distorted the meaning.

In terms of usability, we found that the paraphrase sometimes loaded quite slowly, and the requirement to complete a captcha for repeated inputs was annoying. The site was also full of flashy ads that were quite distracting and seemed to slow down the page.

Try Rephrase

• Ensures basic grammatical correctness
• Quite basic rewrites
• Some highly inaccurate synonyms and bugs with output
• Very slow and buggy

Paraphraser.io’s rewrites were fairly basic. While it made some small changes to sentence structure, it mainly just swapped individual words out for synonyms, which were often highly inaccurate (e.g., changing “could” to “bottle”). It could not deal with long-winded text well, since it lacked a “Shorten” mode and tended to make the text even longer.

Its changes to the grammatically muddled text did usually ensure basic correctness, but not much fluency. Like the other tools, it was unable to do much to improve the flow of the disjointed text, since it wouldn’t combine sentences or add transition words. Occasionally, we saw errors like the insertion of sentence fragments without initial capitalization.

In terms of usability, we found it unfortunate that the paraphrased text loaded extremely slowly (and sometimes just failed to load). We appreciated the ability to click on individual words to see synonyms, but as noted, a lot of these synonyms were just wrong. Overall, the interface was poor.

Try Paraphraser.io

• $20 per month
• New modes add little
• Still full of ads
• Still slow and inconvenient to use

The premium version of Rephrase adds three extra modes, “Creative,” “Smart,” and “Formal.” We noticed little difference between these modes and the free ones, and we don’t see them as worth paying for.

In terms of usability, we found it annoying that you’re still required to complete a captcha for each paraphrase, even after paying for the tool, and that the same flashy ads still appear in the premium version. You get remarkably little for your money with the premium version of Rephrase.

• Doesn’t actually remove ads
• Very slow, buggy, and confusing interface
• No real advantages over free version

This tool’s premium version did not really add anything of value. The main selling point, the “Creative” and “Smarter” modes, performed very similarly to the free “Fluency” mode, with no real advantages. The slow loading times were also no better in the premium version.

Other pros included a word limit increase to 1,500 words—not very helpful when the tool only paraphrases on a sentence-by-sentence basis anyway. The premium version is also supposed to remove ads, but in practice we still saw ads when using this version, so it’s not clear what is meant by this.

We don’t find this tool a very good option to begin with, and we certainly don’t find the premium version to be worth the cost.

• Interface looks quite nice
• Doesn’t really paraphrase, just swaps words for synonyms
• Creates a lot of inaccuracies
• Doesn’t correct grammatical errors
• Doesn’t highlight changes
• “Advanced Paraphrase” just redirects to QuillBot

We found SpinBot’s functionality to be extremely basic and produce a lot of errors. It did not do any real paraphrasing (changing the sentence structure) but simply swapped out a few words for synonyms, often highly inappropriate ones.

Because of this very basic approach, it failed to correct any of the grammatical errors in grammatically incorrect text. It also could not do anything useful for either the long-winded or the disjointed text, since it made no changes to structure whatsoever.

In terms of interface, the site has a nice enough look, but it doesn’t highlight the changes it has made in any way. Its “Advanced Paraphrase” button just redirects to QuillBot. Basic paraphrasing is fairly quick, but—as mentioned above—not very good.

Try SpinBot’s paraphrasing tool

• Very basic paraphrasing
• Creates lots of grammatical errors
• Poorly designed interface
• Many features buggy or broken
• Slow to use

Pre Post SEO offered a few modes for paraphrasing: “Simple,” which just swaps out a few words for (usually inaccurate) synonyms, producing very poor text; “Advanced,” which makes slightly more extensive changes but produces a lot of errors; or “Fluency,” which does the same with fewer (but still some) errors.

None of these modes were very effective at improving any of our three texts. “Fluency” mode was at least able to resolve some grammatical errors, but its changes tended to make all of the texts less, not more, readable.

The interface of the site was very poor. Besides inserting errors into your text, the page is full of flashy ads and often freezes, forcing you to refresh the page. It’s necessary to complete a captcha for each input. Changes are highlighted in the text, and you’re supposed to be able to click on them for alternative synonyms, but this feature often breaks too.

Try Pre Post SEO’s paraphrasing tool

• $19 per month
• No worthwhile improvements over free version
• Creates lots of errors
• Poor interface

The premium version of Pre Post SEO claims to feature a higher word limit of 2,500 words, but we found that we could already input more words than that in the free version. Testing suggests that different word limits apply to different modes, but this is not clearly explained, making it confusing.

The other main points are the removal of ads and captchas and the addition of a “Creative” paraphrasing mode. We found that this mode produced very similar results to “Fluency” mode and certainly wasn’t a feature worth paying $19 a month for. We don’t recommend paying for this tool.

Despite coming up frequently in the search results for paraphrasing tools, Grammarly doesn’t have a dedicated paraphrasing tool. Rather, one of the perks of a Premium membership is that it will sometimes suggest rewording phrases or sentences for clarity purposes. But there’s no way to paraphrase a specific sentence on demand.

If you have a Grammarly Premium membership, you can make use of this feature. But the lack of a standalone paraphrasing tool excluded Grammarly from our analysis and makes it an inappropriate choice if you’re looking for a paraphraser specifically. For more information, you can read our in-depth  Grammarly review .

Try Grammarly

To compare the capabilities of the different paraphrasing tools, we tested them all using the same texts and applying the same criteria to assess the output.

Testing texts

Three short testing texts were used to test the tools’ ability to deal with different kinds of writing. The three texts all expressed the same information in different ways to explore three different problems: long-windedness, grammatical incoherence, and disjointedness.

The first text states the information in a very long-winded way, using a lot of inflated language and needlessly repeating itself. We wanted to test whether the tools could paraphrase this text into something more concise while retaining the essential information.

Due to the fact that participants displayed a tendency to have a negative reaction to the intervention, we have reached the conclusion that the intervention was not a success. As a result of the fact that the intervention was less successful in comparison to comparable interventions available at the present time, we are of the opinion that more research is needed in order to ascertain whether or not the intervention has potential for wider use, due to this low success rate.

The second text communicates the information in a confusing, grammatically incorrect way that makes it quite difficult to follow. We wanted to see if the tools were able to make sense of it and express the intended meaning more coherently.

Due to participant’s tended to have negative reaction to the intervention. This why we conclude that they were not a success. Because similar interventions was better by comparison, this concludes that more research needs before knowing if the intervention is good for general using.

The third text conveys the information in a disjointed way, without appropriate use of transition words to make the text flow nicely and with one sentence fragment. We wanted to see if the tools could produce a more fluent, readable version.

Participants had overall negative reactions to it. We think the intervention wasn’t successful. There should be more research done. That way it can be seen if the intervention can be used more widely. Or if it is not appropriate.

Assessment criteria

To assess the quality of each tool’s output, we asked several questions:

• Is it accurate ? Does it reflect the intended meaning of the original text, or does it add or remove content that changes the message?
• Is it fluent ? Does it read clearly and flow smoothly, or does it seem stilted and unnatural?
• Is it correct ? Does it eliminate grammatical errors or introduce new ones?
• Is it significantly different ? Does it properly paraphrase by changing the sentence structure or merely swap out a few words for synonyms?

We ran all the texts through each tool repeatedly, trying out different modes if they were available and otherwise just assessing how the output varied between attempts—did it sometimes make mistakes? What was the best text it could produce?

To evaluate usability, we looked at the following factors:

• How quick, easy, and flexible the tool was to use
• Whether it clearly showed which parts of the text had been changed
• Barriers such as requiring a sign-up, a word or character limit, or a limit on the number of paraphrases
• In the case of premium versions, whether the additional features were worth the price

A grammar checker is a tool designed to automatically check your text for spelling errors, grammatical issues, punctuation mistakes , and problems with sentence structure . You can check out our analysis of the best free grammar checkers to learn more or try the Scribbr Grammar Checker .

A paraphrasing tool edits your text more actively, changing things whether they were grammatically incorrect or not. It can paraphrase your sentences to make them more concise and readable or for other purposes. You can check out our analysis of the best paraphrasing tools to learn more.

Some tools available online combine both functions. Others, such as QuillBot , have separate grammar checker and paraphrasing tools. Be aware of what exactly the tool you’re using does to avoid introducing unwanted changes.

To paraphrase effectively, don’t just take the original sentence and swap out some of the words for synonyms. Instead, try:

• Reformulating the sentence (e.g., change active to passive , or start from a different point)
• Combining information from multiple sentences into one
• Leaving out information from the original that isn’t relevant to your point
• Using synonyms where they don’t distort the meaning

The main point is to ensure you don’t just copy the structure of the original text, but instead reformulate the idea in your own words.

QuillBot Review: Is It Worth It for Writers?

Fergus Taylor

Table of Contents

What is quillbot, how does quillbot work, features of quillbot, pros of quillbot, cons of quillbot, is quillbot free, is quillbot worth it, quillbot review summary.

Using an AI writing assistant is a great way to speed up the writing process and fix any typos or grammatical errors along the way. 

QuillBot is one of the leading AI writing assistants offering a free and Premium version, but is it the best writing assistant for you? This article aims to provide a review of QuillBot, explaining each of its features with pros and cons so you can make an informed decision. 

But first, what is QuillBot, and how does it work?

QuillBot is a tool that uses artificial intelligence to help with the writing process. It’s well known for its ability to paraphrase sentences, but it also has features to summarize information, correct grammar and punctuation errors, cite sources, and conduct plagiarism checks. 

The tool aids students with academic writing, while also being used by creatives and working professionals. QuillBot increases productivity and ensures quality by speeding up writing, catching any mistakes, and helping with writer’s block.

QuillBot can be used to rewrite text found online and transform it into your own words. 

Simply copy and paste text into the tool, and QuillBot paraphrases to create entirely new sentences based on the information you provide it with. 

QuillBot can also check grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes too, so you can deliver error-free writing.

QuillBot has several features and customizable elements that help you speed up the writing process. 

When you enter the editor, there’s a panel giving you access to seven tools. 

Choose from the Paraphraser, Grammar Checker, Plagiarism Checker, Co-Writer, Summarizer, Citation Generator, and Translator. Each of these features can be accessed individually, but if you want them all in the same tool, the Co-Writer is what you’re after.

In the next section, we’ll break down each one so you can get a better understanding of the features.

QuillBot’s Paraphraser 

Paraphrasing is QuillBot’s primary function. You can input text into the tool and hit “Paraphrase.” On the right-hand side, your paraphrased text will populate. QuillBot underlines words and phrases and will offer suggestions to replace your text with synonyms or paraphrased sentences. 

The editor has several customizable options. Choose from eight different writing styles, such as Academic, Creative, and Formal—though only Standard and Fluency are available with the free version. 

QuillBot allows users to select between American English, Canadian English, British English, and Australian English to accommodate for different spellings.

You also have the option to use the Synonyms tool to adjust how closely you’d like the paraphrased text to resemble the original text you entered.

You can paraphrase up to 125 words with the free version. If you need to paraphrase more than that, you’ll need to upgrade to Premium.

QuillBot’s Grammar Checker

The Grammar Checker is a great tool to catch any grammatical errors that have slipped through the net. Once you input text, QuillBot highlights errors in red and offers suggestions to correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes. 

With each suggestion, QuillBot explains why the writing is incorrect, but the tool doesn’t go into much detail. 

If you want to learn more about the errors or to find examples, you’ll need to conduct your own research.

Much like Google Docs and Microsoft Word, you can work within the platform and add styling elements, such as changing the size of text, bolding words, or even adding italics. It’s not possible to add images, diagrams, links, etc., so if this is something you need, another tool may be more suitable.

QuillBot’s Plagiarism Checker

The Plagiarism Checker is bundled into the Premium plan and allows you to check 20 pages per month. That’s approximately 10,000 words at a cost of $19.95. 

This isn’t ideal if you’re writing a dissertation because the average word count is more than that. 

If price is important in your consideration, and you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, ProWritingAid offers 20,000 words (or ten checks) for $10 , so you’ll get more for your money. 

QuillBot’s Co-Writer

This is the all-in-one tool QuillBot offers if you don’t want to switch between tabs. You can paste your text straight into the tool or upload an existing file. The Co-Writer is a blend of all the tools with an additional handy feature, “Suggest Text.” 

This feature provides you with suggestions on what to write next based on QuillBot’s AI capabilities. If you plan to use this feature often, be careful because AI content detection tools might pick up that the writing was done by a computer.

QuillBot’s Summarizer

The Summarizer is a neat little tool that allows you to shorten text, such as long emails or work documents, into their core concepts. You can select “Paragraph” if you want a paragraph or “Bullet Points” if you just want bullet points. 

QuillBot’s free version allows you to summarize up to 1,200 words, while the premium version has a limit of 6,000 words. If this is a deal-breaker, you might be better off trying other tools with no limits.

In summary (no pun intended), it’s a useful tool to save you time reading, but there’s no guarantee you won’t miss out on the finer details.

QuillBot’s Citation Generator

The Citation Generator allows you to look up references for books, websites, and journals so you don’t have to spend time manually creating them. You can select the citation style you require, like MLA and APA, and then you can copy and paste the citation where you need it.

The tool's use extends beyond books and online journals. You can also reference videos, dictionaries, and reports. Students and academics will get lots of use out of the citation tool, especially when writing large pieces, such as a thesis, dissertation, or research paper. 

QuillBot’s Translator

QuillBot lets you instantly translate text into 45 different languages, including French, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese. In the translator, there is a 5,000-character limit, which is larger than Google Translate, and the tool is completely free to use without advertisements. 

The translation quality is good, and when you combine it with the other tools that QuillBot has, such as the Paraphraser and Grammar Checker, it can be very powerful.

It is worth mentioning, 45 languages are available within the Paraphraser too, but the Grammar Checker only currently supports English, German, French, and Spanish. 

QuillBot’s Extensions and Desktop Apps

If you want to access QuillBot without having a tab open, you can download the Chrome extension or Mac app. This enables the tool to work in the background, and it’s compatible with most website applications, such as Google Docs, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn.

QuillBot also has a specific add-on for Google Docs and Microsoft Word if you prefer to limit it to the apps where you work. It’s worth noting that QuillBot will work offline with the Microsoft extension.

The best thing about QuillBot is that it’s quick and easy to use. There’s a minimal learning curve, so you can go straight into testing the tool. 

QuillBot has high quality paraphrasing and grammar checking tools that can help you speed up writing and editing. 

The free version of the tool gives you the opportunity to explore the different features. And if you have a paid plan, there are multiple writing modes available to suit your needs. 

Finally, QuillBot offers extensions so you can use the tool online without having to switch tabs or download the desktop app.

Although QuillBot is an affordable tool with plenty of features, paraphrased text still needs a manual check as the suggestions don’t always sound like a human wrote them. 

If you are planning to use the tool to churn out large amounts of work in a short time, be aware that the tool won’t always pass AI content detection checks. Make sure you always review work before submitting. 

As with all freemium software, there are limitations in the free version. The paraphrasing tool lets you paraphrase up to 125 words at a time and restricts you to two writing modes: Standard and Fluency. 

So if you’re a copywriter and want to use the Creative writing mode, you’ll need to pay for Premium before you can understand how you might benefit from the tool. Premium is also necessary to unlock the full potential of the Synonyms tool.

The Summarizer allows you to summarize 1,200 words in the free version and 6,000 in the premium version. There’s no restriction on the format of the summarized text, so you can choose from paragraph summaries or bullet points in both the free and paid plans.

You can translate into 45 languages using QuillBot’s Translator, but it misses some languages, such as Catalan, and doesn’t let you differentiate between dialects such as Spanish from Latin America or Spain. There’s a limit of 5,000 words, which is more than Google Translate, but you will still need to split up lengthy translations.

Last but not least, QuillBot gives you limited insight into how to improve your writing. It’s important to understand how to write effectively and avoid mistakes to reduce your reliance on writing tools.

QuillBot provides free access to the Paraphraser, Grammar Checker, Co-Writer, Summarizer, Citation Generator, and Translator. However, as covered in the previous section, there are limits in the free plan.

The Paraphraser allows up to 125 words

Writing modes are limited to Standard and Fluency

The Synonyms tool is restricted

The Summarizer is capped at 1,200 words

The Translator is limited to 5,000 words

With Premium, you remove the limit of 125 words in the Paraphraser. You can unlock additional writing modes, like Creative and Academic, and make use of up to 20 free plagiarism checks per month. You also gain full access to the Synonyms tool, and the limit on the Summarizer increases to 6,000 words.

If you want to upgrade, QuillBot has a monthly cost of $19.95, but you can make savings if you purchase a semiannual or annual plan.

QuillBot is a great tool for people who are looking to correct grammar and paraphrase text, for example, academics writing a dissertation or thesis. It includes a plagiarism detection tool that’s available when you upgrade, but it doesn’t have AI content detection checks. Digital marketers should be aware of this.

As AI advances, so too will the tools looking to identify this type of content, so if you follow the mantra “better safe than sorry,” it’s advisable to write in your own words and check your work after.

Paraphrasing is an essential skill that can greatly enhance the quality of your writing, improving its structure, clarity, and flow. However, manually rewording your text can be both time-consuming and challenging. This is where paraphrasing tools come in handy.

One of the most popular choices in this regard is Quillbot, but it may not be suitable or affordable for everyone. Fortunately, there are numerous free alternatives available online that can effectively paraphrase your text. Below, we discuss the eight best free paraphrasing tools that you can use to enhance the quality of your writing.

1. Paraphrasing Tool

The Paraphrasing Tool is a free AI-powered rewriter that uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) AI software to paraphrase the text you have provided. You can paraphrase up to 10,000 words at once without signing up or logging in to the platform.

It offers two paraphrasing options: Basic and Advanced. Basic paraphrasing involves simply restating the original text in different words, while the Advanced option will offer you a more extensive vocabulary with a deeper understanding of the structure of the original text.

If you opt for the Basic option, the tool will reword the text within the same window. However, if you select the Advanced option, it will direct you to Quillbot, where the text will be professionally rephrased with a more sophisticated tone. If you don't have experience using AI for writing or editing, our guide on how you can use AI responsibly as a writer or an editor can help you maximize its benefits.

2. Prepostseo

If you're looking for a comprehensive tool that offers a variety of services, Prepostseo is a great option. It offers features such as a plagiarism checker, DA checker, spelling checker, summarizer, and paraphrasing tool. When it comes to the paraphrasing tool, Prepostseo offers four rewriting options: Standard, Fluency, Creative, and Smarter.

While the Creative and Smarter options are available in the pro version, the Standard and Fluency options are free to use. To paraphrase a text, you can either upload the file from your computer or Google Drive. It supports .docx, .doc, .txt, and .pdf formats. If your file is in a different format, you can always convert it to a compatible format by using a free online file converter .

Once you've uploaded the file, simply select the language from the dropdown menu and click on the Paraphrase button to begin. It's worth noting that the free version can only paraphrase up to 500 words at once, but you can increase the word count by subscribing to the Pro version.

3. SEOToolsCentre

SEOToolsCentre provides a comprehensive suite of tools to assist with various aspects of content creation, optimization, and management. To use this tool, simply copy and paste the text you want to paraphrase into the input box, select the language you're working in from the drop-down menu, and hit the Paraphrase button.

Once the tool generates a paraphrased version of your text, it highlights any changed words. You can then manage these words by clicking on them. This will allow you to view the original word alongside several suggested alternatives, and you can even add your own words to the context menu by clicking the Add button.

Once you are done, click on the Finish button. The tool supports seven different languages, including English, Dutch, French, Spanish, German, Turkish, and Indonesian.

4. Paraphraser.io

Another option is Paraphraser.io, which allows you to paraphrase up to 600 words at a time. It comes with three paraphrasing options: Fluency, Standard, and Word Changer.

You can get started by pasting your text in the box, picking your preferred paraphrasing option, choosing one of the four languages it supports (English, Espanol, French, and Portuguese), and clicking on the Rewrite Now button.

Once the text has been paraphrased, you will notice the words that have been changed highlighted in green. You can click on each highlighted word to view its additional synonyms and pick one of your choice.

5. SpinnerChief

In the free version of SpinnerChief, you can paraphrase up to 150 words at a time and use up to 20 spins per day. To get started, simply paste your text into the text field and choose the intensity of the sentence rebuilt options.

The free version offers "Basic AI (slight)" and "Disabled" options, while the premium version also provides the Advanced AI option, which can be even more powerful. As you use SpinnerChief, you'll notice a Synonym slider at the top that you can adjust to control the number of words replaced.

Keep in mind that the free version only allows you to move the slider to the middle at maximum. SpinnerChief is available both as a desktop application and a web-based tool, giving you flexibility and convenience when it comes to paraphrasing your text.

This option is quite similar to the Paraphrasing Tool we talked about earlier. You can easily paraphrase up to 10,000 words at a time and choose between a basic and advanced spin.

It utilizes high-quality Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology to make the text more reader-friendly, and the best part is that you don't even need to create an account to use it. This tool also boasts the ability to eliminate all instances of plagiarism in your text.

There are three different modes to choose from when rewriting your text: standard, random, and longest. Standard mode is the default option, while random mode enhances the fluency of your content. Lastly, the longest mode will alter the input the most. If you choose the Advanced option, you will be redirected to Quillbot.

7. Wordtune

If you want to find multiple alternative phrases for your text, Wordtune is a tool you can consider. It analyzes the context of your text and offers a range of suggestions that you can choose from.

To use Wordtune, highlight the text that you want to rewrite. The tool will present you with a number of suggestions you can choose from, and the words that have been changed will be highlighted in purple. You can also change a single word by highlighting it and choosing a synonym of your choice.

The free version of Wordtune is limited to 10 rewrites per day, so we only recommend it for users who do not need to rewrite more than a few lines a day. For unlimited rewrites, you can subscribe to the premium version, which also allows you to select between casual and formal tones for your text, and shorten or expand it as you see fit.

8. DupliChecker

Finally, the last option we have on our list is DupliChecker, which allows you to paraphrase 2000 words at a time. The free version offers two spinning options; Smart spin and Ultra spin. When you use the Smart spin feature, 70-75% of your words will be replaced by their synonyms.

You will also be provided with a list of possible synonyms for each word, so you can easily change the words you don't like. The Ultra spin feature, on the other hand, offers maximum word swapping, changing approximately 90% of the words. It also offers an AI rephrase option, which you can access by subscribing to the pro version of the tool.

Paraphrase Like a Pro

Being able to paraphrase your own writing to improve it is an essential skill for writers, and using a paraphrasing tool can greatly help in the process. While Quillbot is a well-known choice, there are numerous affordable alternatives available online that can help you paraphrase without breaking the bank.

However, regardless of the tool you choose, it is not recommended to rely entirely on it. You can use it as a helpful resource, but always double-check the paraphrased content to ensure accuracy and originality.

15 Best QuillBot Alternatives (Free & Paid) 2024

Looking for an alternative to QuillBot that checks all the boxes for your writing needs? You’re in the right place.

Whether you want advanced grammar checks, more customization options, or something that fits your budget, we’ve got you covered. In this guide, we’ll dive into the 15 top QuillBot alternatives—both free and paid—that you can start using today. Let’s get started.

Why Look For QuillBot Alternatives?

1. jasper ai – best ai-based quillbot alternative for long form content, 2. spinbot – free paraphrasing tool, 3. rewriter tools – advanced free alternative to quillbot, 4. paraphrasing tool, 5. paraphraser.io, 6. project topics, 7. grammarly, 8. article rewriter tool, 9. spinrewriter, 10. spinner chief, 12. copy shark, 13. plagiarismdetector.net, 14. my assignment help, 15. pre post seo, wrapping it up: what is the best quillbot alternative.

QuillBot is a popular paraphrasing tool . There are many reasons you might want to rewrite your content.

For example, you might want to write a better version of the content, using more synonyms to switch your content up a bit and make it more unique.

Instead of using the same common words throughout your article, QuillBot will automatically switch some of those words and rephrase some sentences.

It will also give you additional paraphrasing suggestions that aren’t automatically included, but which you can include with the click of a button.

You may also want to rephrase content if it doesn’t pass a plagiarism checker such as Copyscape. It may even be similar to content you yourself wrote in the past, but QuillBot will switch up the content so that it looks unique.

Since QuillBot uses AI, the end result will look very natural, and it won’t look like a bot spun it.

QuillBot actually has three tools:

• The Rephraser: This tool rephrases your sentences and gives you synonym and rephrasing suggestions.
• The Summarizer: This tool summarizes your content with some rephrasing. Essentially, it helps you take out fluff content that isn’t essential to the meaning you want to convey.
• The Grammar Checker: This tool checks your content for grammar mistakes .

However, not only does the free version have a character limit, but the paid version has a character limit as well. That makes QuillBot not such a good option for really long articles of over 10,000 characters (those are characters, not words).

You also can not upload multiple articles for writing at once, which makes QuillBot a less attractive option if you want to quickly rewrite multiple blog posts.

In addition, QuillBot’s rephrasing tool is somewhat of a hit and miss. That is especially true when you keep hitting the redo option, which allows you to get a new paraphrasing result if you did not like the first one.

Sometimes, the paraphrased results can seem somewhat unnatural and even comical. At other times, the results will be absolutely amazing.

One more thing: QuillBot’s grammar checker tool is still in beta mode, and it has a lot of room for improvement. If you want to check your spelling and grammar, you would be better off with another tool.

In this guide, I will go over some QuillBot alternatives you can use for rephrasing, spinning, and grammar checking . I will include both free and paid alternatives.

Let us get into it.

The 15 Best QuillBot Alternatives (Free & Paid)

Need a top-notch AI-based paraphrasing tool? Meet Jasper AI. Designed for content creators and marketers, it’s more than just a rewriting assistant.

It is one of the best alternatives to QuillBot for generating unique, natural-sounding content.

Jasper AI refines your text for both meaning and readability, thanks to its deep-learning tech.

Here’s How it Works :

You can paste an article you wrote into the tool, and it will rewrite it for you, with excellent results.

However, Jasper goes beyond that.

Unlike QuillBot, which demands a pre-written article for spinning, Jasper AI takes it up a notch. Just plug in keywords or topics, and it’ll whip up original, AI-generated content for you, right from scratch.

All you have to do is write a prompt, and the tool will generate natural, human-sounding content or ad copy (either short form or long form content, based on your subscription).

Here is what you can do with Jasper:

• Generate descriptions for products on eCommerce websites
• Generate sales copy for your products or services
• Get blog post ideas to beat writer’s block
• Generate introduction paragraphs for articles, so you can build the article from there
• Generate listicle ideas
• Expand a short sentence into a longer, more creative, more interesting sentence
• Generate text for Facebook Ad headlines and post content
• Generate a bio for your personal or company profile
• Generate content for video titles, descriptions, and introductions
• And a whole lot more!

You can even have the tool generate long-form content based on an intro or topic outline you write. You don’t have to do anything; just let the tool use machine learning to create natural sounding, beautiful content.

Jasper integrates with Surfer SEO (you will need a separate subscription for that), which is an SEO tool designed to help you optimize content for keyword frequency and higher rankings. The content the tool generates will not only sound natural but will also be optimized for keyword rankings.

You can also translate text from English into more than 25 different languages. The end result will sound natural in the destination language, which can be hard to do with traditional online translation tools like Google Translate .

Jasper AI vs Quillbot :

The Quick Take Jasper AI packs in over 50 templates for various content types and focuses on high-quality output. Quillbot, while cheaper at $9.95/month, mainly targets paraphrasing and grammar.

Pricing: Jasper AI offers a range of plans to fit your budget. The Starter Plan comes in at $39/month for annual billing or $49/month if you go monthly.

Need more features? There are Creator and Teams plans too.

Bottom Line: While Jasper AI might cost a bit more than alternatives like Quillbot, its advanced features make it a strong pick for those serious about content quality.

Looking for a free QuillBot alternative for longer articles? Spinbot has got your back. With its generous free plan, you can rewrite up to 10,000 characters, clearly outdoing QuillBot’s offer.

In fact, the premium QuillBot plan has the same character limit as the free Spinbot plan.

You don’t need to sign up for a Spinbot account to use it. When you use QuillBot without signing up, on the other hand, you are limited to only 400 characters, a mere fraction of what Spinbot allows.

Spinbot’s premium plan eliminates both ads & captcha, letting you rewrite articles faster and more efficiently. A real time-saver.

It’s pretty cheap, starting at just $75/year or $10/month. Check the pricing page for more information.

Want to see how Spinbot compares to QuillBot in more detail? Don’t miss our head-to-head QuillBot vs SpinBot comparison .

Rewriter Tools is a one of the excellent free QuillBot alternatives, as it doesn’t have the same character restrictions that QuillBot has, even though it is free and does not require you to create an account. If you don’t create an account on QuillBot, you will be limited to 400 characters when rephrasing articles.

Rewriter Tools is actually a suite of five different tools:

• Article Spinner: This tool automatically spins your content to give you a new, unique article.
• Article Rewriter: This tool also rewrites your articles, but it gives you more control in terms of what you want rewritten and how exactly to rewrite certain phrases.
• Paraphrasing Tool: Much like the Article Rewriter tool, this one’s designed to give your sentences, phrases, and paragraphs a new spin. A straightforward way to refresh your content.
• Grammar Checker: This tool checks and corrects grammar mistakes .
• Word Counter: This tool tells you how many words your article has.

Rewriter Tools can be slow at times. If the Article Spinner doesn’t cut it for you, give the Paraphrasing Tool or Article Rewriter a shot.

Paraphrasing Tool is a no-strings-attached alternative to QuillBot. You can rephrase up to 10,000 characters—no account signup needed. A hassle-free way to get the job done.

It is entirely free to use.

The Paraphrasing Tool even allows you to check a box if you want to rephrase capitalized words as well. By default, the tool assumes that capitalized words are specific nouns that you need to keep the same in your text, such as the names of places or people.

However, if you would like, you can rephrase capitalized words as well.

Another fantastic free QuillBot alternative is Paraphraser.io. Paraphraser.io allows you to rephrase up to 1,000 words without creating an account, which is more than the 400 words QuillBot limits you to when you are not signed in.

You can select three modes for the style of content you want to produce:

One of the cool things about Paraphraser.io is that it supports multiple languages. You can rephrase not only in English but also in:

Want more than just a paraphrasing tool? Project Topics offers that plus a spin bot, all in one package. Even better? The paraphrasing feature is entirely free and doesn’t hit you with QuillBot’s character limits for non-account holders. More freedom, zero cost.

Also, Project Topics supports over 100 different languages, so you can rephrase in almost any language.

One cool feature of Project Topics, that QuillBot doesn’t offer, is the ability to exclude words. Sometimes, you will want to keep using specific words and not rephrase them; just enter them into the exclusion field and the tool will not replace them with synonyms.

Project Topics also has a grammar checker integrated into the paraphrasing tool, so many grammar mistakes will automatically be corrected by the tool.

Grammarly is not exactly a spinning tool, but it does allow you to rephrase sentences and words. At its core, it is a grammar checker, and the grammar checker part is superior to QuillBot’s grammar checker, especially if you have the premium version.

With Grammarly’s free plan, expect basic spelling and grammar checks. But if you’re eyeing more advanced corrections, their premium plan is where the action’s at.

However, Grammarly also helps you rephrase sentences and phrases. When you write sentences that are too convoluted, Grammarly will rewrite those sentences to make them simpler and easier to understand.

In addition, it will give you synonym suggestions for words you are overusing or that people overuse in general. You can also get synonym suggestions for any word by simply double-clicking on the word; Grammarly will give you various synonyms so that you can find one that fits with your original intent.

One of the cool things about Grammarly is that it has a Chrome extension that works on any site. Not only will the Chrome extension fix grammar and spelling mistakes, but it will allow you to get synonyms for any word, helping your content sound more unique.

Keep in mind that you will need the premium plan to get the advanced grammar and sentence restructuring tools . On the free plan, you will get basic spelling and grammar corrections and the ability to click on words for synonym suggestions.

Also, Grammarly has a plagiarism checker .

To delve deeper into how Grammarly and QuillBot stack up against each other, check out our comprehensive QuillBot vs Grammarly guide .

Article Rewriter Tool is an excellent QuillBot alternative. Unlike QuillBot, it allows you to exclude specific words from being rephrased.

It also is entirely free to use, and it does not require you to create an account to use it. It does not have the same character count restrictions that QuillBot has for people who use it for free without an account.

When spinning an article, you can also check a box if you want the article to paraphrase and spin capitalized words as well.

SpinRewriter is a QuillBot alternative that supports both bulk upload and bulk export, unlike QuillBot. In other words, not only can you upload multiple articles to rewrite them in bulk, but you can also instantly generate up to 1,000 variations of each article you upload and export all of them.

Spin Rewriter syncs with Copyscape, ensuring that every version it generates will pass the plagiarism check.

SpinRewriter also has a grammar and spelling checker built in. Before it rewrites an article for you, it will ensure that there are no grammar and spelling mistakes, so the end result you get doesn’t have any mistakes either.

SpinRewriter uses Emulated Natural Language technology to ensure the articles it spins come out sounding natural, as if a human wrote them.

This is not a new tool; SpinRewriter has been around since 2011 (around a decade as of this article’s writing). Since then, the owners have been adding more and more features and improving the tool.

SpinRewriter is not free, but it does give you a five-day free trial if you sign up for the yearly plan, which currently costs $77/year. The monthly plan, on the other hand, costs $47/month and includes the same features, so it’s a no-brainer to choose the yearly plan.

Remember to check the pricing page for updated pricing information, as pricing can fluctuate.

While QuillBot is an online paraphrase tool, Spinner Chief has both a downloadable, desktop version and an online version. Not many spinners have both versions (most only have an online version), which makes Spinner Chief a good choice for those who don’t prefer to work in the cloud.

In addition, QuillBot does not have a team plan. However, Spinner Chief does have a team plan, which is best for teams working on projects together; it includes features such as a team thesaurus.

In addition, Spinner Chief gives you the option of bulk uploading articles and spinning them in batches. QuillBot does not offer that feature.

You can even create rewriting rules so that the articles come out exactly as you want them to.

Spinner Chief has a free version as well, so if you have more basic rewriting needs, it is a good tool to use. However, premium licenses are available as well if you have more complex needs; the premium plans enable you to get better, more refined, and more customized spin results.

WordAI is not free, but it is a great alternative to QuillBot. It has a number of features that QuillBot does not have; for example, it supports bulk uploads, so you can quickly rephrase many articles at once.

In addition, you can create up to 1,000 rewrites of every single article! That is useful for multiple reasons, such as for building links with hundreds of unique articles.

WordAI allows you to adjust how creative you get, which will affect how close the end result will be to the original result.

When using WordAI, it will automatically correct spelling and grammar mistakes in your text when you rewrite it, so you won’t have to worry about that. In addition, it will split sentences to make your text easier to read.

WordAI uses synonyms and LSI keywords. It also taps into related text. The goal? To rephrase your original content. The result? The same core message, but in fresh, new words.

All results will pass Copyscape.

Got HTML or coded articles? WordAI’s code view feature lets you give HTML or coded articles a fresh rewrite, too.

Pricing starts at $24.95/month. Check the pricing page for more details.

Create quick, high quality & original content in a flash. Features like bulk creation, downloading, HTML support make WordAi the rewriting software of choice. Try now!

Copy Shark is another excellent QuillBot alternative. Unlike QuillBot, it will automatically generate new AI-based content from scratch for you for a variety of purposes, without you needing to write an entire article first.

You can use Copy Shark to generate content for product descriptions , ad copy, sales pages, videos, and more. All the results will sound natural, and you can use it to generate content in more than 20 languages, including German, French, Spanish, Korean, Hindi, Japanese, Italian, Danish, Norwegian, Polish, Lithuanian, Portuguese, Indonesian, Chinese, and more!

Pricing is just $39/month or $299/year; there is only one plan. Always check the homepage (scroll to the bottom) for updated pricing information.

Plagiarism Detector has a Paraphrasing tool that you can use for free, without creating an account. It allows you to enter up to 2,000 words.

Compare that to QuillBot, which only allows you to enter up to 400 characters when you don’t sign up, which always ends up being a lot less than 2,000 words.

In addition to the free Paraphrasing tool, there is also a grammar checker tool, which will check your content for spelling and grammar errors. You can also use the Plagiarism checker tool to weed out copied content.

My Assignment Help boasts a paraphrasing tool that you can use online for free.

It is a better alternative to QuillBot if you need to paraphrase articles that you have in a Word, PDF, PPT, or TXT document, though you can also copy and paste text into the online editor as well.

This tool allows you to rewrite articles you have stored in your Dropbox or Google Drive . Just upload your articles directly.

My Assignment Help is designed to assist students with assignments and homework. The paraphrasing tool is just one service it offers.

The final QuillBot alternative we will look at is Pre Post SEO. It has a free online tool, without the character restrictions that QuillBot places on you.

However, it also allows you to upload an article or fetch an article you have stored in Google Drive or your online Microsoft account. Not only that, but it allows you to exclude certain words from being paraphrased; these other features also make it a great QuillBot alternative.

In addition to the paraphrasing tool, it has a plagiarism checker tool and a DA checker tool.

QuillBot is a pretty good tool in terms of the quality of the spun content it generates.

However, Jasper is a much better alternative, and it is the best QuillBot alternative for getting natural, human-sounding results.

The fact that you can generate content from scratch, without even writing an article first, makes it an excellent choice as well.

The only downside is that it is not free. If you are looking for a free QuillBot alternative but without the character restrictions, I would choose Spinbot or Spinner Chief, though the quality of the spun articles they produce can be hit and miss.

However, almost all AI article rewriter tools are not perfect, and you always have to read and edit the article yourself. That way, you can fix unnatural language, which is bound to crop up in almost all AI tools.

The last tool in our paraphrasing tool ranking is Paraphrase-Online. The best part of this website is that it’s free, simple, and fast. It also provides a file import option, allowing you to upload .doc, .docx, .pdf, and .txt files.

The website works pretty fast and doesn’t require solving CAPTCHA or registration. However, the app contains some ads, so don’t forget to activate an ad-blocker.

☝️ Paraphrasing as the Best Tool against Plagiarism

As you know, plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty. You can’t take someone’s ideas and pass them off as your own.

Plagiarism can have severe consequences. If you run a website or a blog and copy and paste articles from other sources without changes, search engines will lower your website’s score. This means that you will have fewer visitors and, as a result, fewer earnings (if you run an online store, provide services, or monetize your website in other ways).

In the business world, plagiarism can also have negative consequences. Copyright violations, for example, can result in million-dollar lawsuits, or in a loss of trust among customers, etc.

Below, you will find the most common types of plagiarism. Familiarize yourself so you can avoid them.

8 Types of Plagiarism

These are eight types of plagiarism that are often seen in academic writing:

• Cloning or identical copying. This occurs when someone copies another’s text word for word and claims it as their own.
• Mixture. This type of plagiarism occurs when you gather information from different sources and put it together, claiming it as your own paper.
• Copy-Paste. This type of plagiarism is seen in papers where the author has copied and pasted significant parts of their paper from one source without changes.
• Misleading attribution. This occurs when someone uses a citation without giving credit to a primary source.
• Self-plagiarism. This happens when you decide to reuse your old papers without proper citation and credits. Yes, you have to cite your own writing if you use it again!
• Mosaic. Mosaic plagiarism involves copying information from a range of sources and compiling it without citations.
• when you use citations that lead to non-existing sources;
• when you use a secondary source, but refer to the primary source;
• when you change information from a primary source, so it gives a false impression to the reader.
• Paraphrasing plagiarism. This kind of plagiarism occurs when someone changes only certain phrases in an original text without proper citation.

Plagiarism can be intentional, if the author knowingly passes someone else’s work off as their own, or unintentional, if it occurs because the writer has neglected to include citations or abide by paraphrasing rules.

Regardless of its type, plagiarism has serious consequences. A student who is caught plagiarizing can be expelled from college or university.

📝 Anti-plagiarism Tools & Techniques

Avoiding plagiarism is easy. Keep reading to find out more:

Quoting and Quotes

A quote is a copy of an original source that is properly credited. Depending on the formatting style, there are different style rules.

Here are three of the most popular formatting style requirements:

The first thing that you need to determine when quoting in APA is the length of the quote. If it is less than 40 words, you need to add a phrase that contains the author’s name and the publication date in parentheses:

Darwin (1857) stated, “A scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, - a mere heart of stone.”

If you don’t name the author before the quote, you must put their name, publication date and page number (if applicable) in parenthesis after the quote:

He said, “A scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, - a mere heart of stone” (Darwin, 1857).

If the quote exceeds 40 words, the quote must be placed in a separate block within the text and put in quotation marks.

Rules for quoting in MLA are similar to APA. If the quote is fewer than four lines, you must denote it with double quotation marks. You should provide information about the author and page number in your in-text citation and provide complete information on the reference page.

If you want to use a quote in the Chicago style, you must use footnotes and endnotes to provide information about the source. A superscript number should be placed after the quote:

Darwin stated that “A scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, - a mere heart of stone”. 1

If you’re going to quote 100 words, or more than five lines of a text, you need to write it as a separate block without quotation marks.

Paraphrasing

Another way to avoid plagiarism in your writing is to paraphrase the source. When paraphrasing, you must avoid copying more than two words in a row. In other cases, you should use quotation marks.

Check out how to paraphrase in APA, MLA, and Chicago styles below:

When you paraphrase in APA, you must provide the author’s last name and the date of publication in your paper. It is not necessary to include the page number in the citation.

(Darwin, 1857)

In MLA, you need to include the page number after the author’s last name. You should avoid using a comma between them. You should also paraphrase, but not misconstrue the author’s meaning.

(Darwin 191)

Similar to quotes, when you paraphrase in Chicago style, you should use a superscript number after the in-text citation:

Darwin stated that scientists should be stone-like and avoid desires or feelings. 1

The Best QuillBot Alternatives in 2024

QuillBot has been a writer's best friend for years. But it's 2024 — the world is changing, and along with it, is the AI writing landscape.

Maybe you're craving more advanced features. Or perhaps you need specialized tools for SEO or marketing copy. Or maybe, you’re just sick of QuillBot. Whatever your reason, it's time to explore QuillBot alternatives .

In this article, we'll dive into the top contenders. We'll break down what makes each tool shine and where they might fall short. Ready to find your new writing assistant? Here are the best QuillBot alternatives in 2024.

1. Grammarly

From a simple grammar checker to a full-fledged writing assistant, Grammarly is a formidable (and perhaps the most popular) QuillBot alternative in 2024. This AI-powered platform offers real-time suggestions for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style improvements. 

Why you should use Grammarly :

• Comprehensive grammar and style checking
• Context-aware suggestions
• User-friendly interface
• Available on multiple platforms
• Offers a free version with basic features
• You can use prompts to control the output better

Why shouldn’t you pick Grammarly :

• Output is highly likely to be flagged as AI-generated
• Premium version can be expensive for individual users
• May occasionally suggest unnecessary changes
• Limited functionality in certain specialized writing fields
• Not really a paraphrasing tool, but more of a real-time writing assistant

Formerly known as Jarvis, Jasper is an AI-powered writing assistant that's gained significant traction as a QuillBot alternative. If you’re looking for something that goes beyond simple paraphrasing, this one’s for you. Get this: Jasper has over 50 writing templates for blog posts, social media content, marketing copy, and more.

And what’s more is that Jasper's AI model is continuously trained on new data, ensuring relevant content generation and fewer AI hallucinations .

Why you should use Jasper :

• Powerful AI-driven content generation
• Wide range of writing templates
• Integrations with other popular writing tools
• Regular updates and improvements
• Supports multiple languages

Why you shouldn’t pick Jasper :

• Steeper learning curve compared to simpler paraphrasing tools
• Higher price point, which may not suit all budgets

3. Writesonic

If you’re focused on SEO writing, then Writesonic is the perfect QuillBot alternative for you. This is a great writing assistant for content creation as it can generate high-quality, original content across various formats. From blog posts and product descriptions to ad copy and meta descriptions, Writesonic offers all the tools you need to make writing blogs easier.

Why you should use Writesonic :

• Generates SEO-friendly content
• Real-time SEO and fact checking
• User-friendly interface with guided content creation
• Includes image generation capabilities for articles
• Flexible pricing with a free trial available

Why you shouldn’t pick Writesonic :

• Output quality can vary depending on the complexity of the topic
• May require fine-tuning to match specific brand voices
• Limited control over the AI's writing style compared to manual writing
• Highly likely to be detected as AI-generated

Like Writesonic, Frase is a writing assistant that focuses on creating content that ranks. Made for writers and blog owners, Frase's AI writing features include paragraph generation, content briefs, and question answering. If you want more control, Frase also offers topic research and content structuring features.

Why you should use Frase :

• Comprehensive SEO research and optimization tools
• AI-assisted content generation and expansion
• Helps create content briefs and outlines
• Offers topic clustering and keyword research
• Integrates with popular SEO tools

Why you shouldn’t pick Frase :

• Primarily focused on SEO content, may not be ideal for all writing needs
• Learning curve can be steep for users new to SEO
• Pricing may be high for individual users or small teams

Anyword is the new kid on the block, but it has already carved out a niche as a QuillBot alternative. This platform specializes in generating marketing copy across various channels, including websites, emails, and social media. It’s versatile, data-driven, and efficient. It also has the ability to tailor content to specific audiences and optimize for conversions.

And as if those aren’t enough, Anyword also offers customization options to align generated content with brand voice and style guidelines.

Why you should use Anyword :

• Specializes in marketing and advertising copy
• Uses predictive analytics to optimize content performance
• Offers customization for brand voice and style
• Supports multiple languages and markets
• Includes A/B testing capabilities

Why you shouldn’t pick Anyword :

• May be overkill for users seeking simple paraphrasing or general writing assistance
• Focused primarily on short-form content and headlines
• Pricing can be high for small businesses or individual users

6. Speedwrite

Speedwrite prides itself as being a paraphrasing tool with one of the quickest turnaround times in the market. Compared to the ones I’ve mentioned before, this tool is very barebones and doesn’t offer much in terms of other features. However, if we’re only talking about paraphrasing, Speedwrite is one of the best there is for students and bloggers.

Why you should use Speedwrite :

• Great for basic rewriting tasks
• Fast and efficient content generation and paraphrasing
• User-friendly interface with minimal learning curve
• Maintains context and meaning in paraphrasing

Why you shouldn’t pick Speedwrite :

• It doesn’t have many features
• Writing is highly detectable as AI-generated
• Struggles with highly technical or specialized content

7. Paraphraser.io

Paraphraser.io offers a straightforward approach to rewording and rephrasing text, making it accessible to users of all skill levels. It uses advanced AI algorithms to generate multiple variations of input text while preserving the original meaning.

Why you should use Paraphraser.io :

• Simple and intuitive interface
• Multiple paraphrasing modes for different needs
• Free version available with basic features
• Fast processing and results

Why you shouldn’t pick Paraphraser.io :

• Gets detected as machine-generated easily
• Writing is subpar compared to other paraphrasers
• Tons of ads

8. Undetectable AI

If you’re looking for a special type of paraphrasing tool (one that can bypass AI detectors), then Undetectable AI is the one you’re looking for. This platform uses a “purposeful” brand of paraphrasing that involves sentence restructuring and removal of AI telltale signs to avoid being flagged by detection tools.

We’ve reviewed Undetectable AI in the past, compared it to other paraphrasers, and even tested it against the best detection tools in the market — so make sure you check those articles out.

Why you should use Undetectable AI :

• Highly effective at avoiding AI detection
• Has multiple output customization to maintain the input’s tone and use case
• Flexible pricing options

Why you shouldn’t pick Undetectable AI :

• Adds human errors to avoid detection
• Not ideal for people who are looking to simply paraphrase their text

9. Hix Bypass

Like Undetectable AI, Hix Bypass is an AI bypassing tool that’s also worth your time. It uses much of the same strategies that Undetectable AI uses to avoid AI detection, but also has the same struggles with generating high-quality content without sacrificing AI likelihood scores.

Why you should use Hix Bypass :

• Avoids AI detection consistently

Why you shouldn’t pick Hix Bypass :

• Uses intentional errors to avoid detection

10. ChatGPT

Of course, we can’t really make a list without ChatGPT . While it isn’t strictly a paraphrasing tool, you can still prompt it to become one. More than that, it can assist with a wide range of writing tasks, including paraphrasing and content ideation.

Why you should use ChatGPT :

• Highly versatile, capable of handling various writing tasks
• Excellent at understanding context and generating coherent responses
• Can explain concepts and assist with brainstorming

Why you shouldn’t pick ChatGPT :

• Prone to AI hallucinations
• Knowledge base isn’t updated in real-time
• Requires clear and specific prompts for optimal results
• Most likely paraphrasing tool to be detected as AI-generated

The Bottom Line

The writing assistance world has come a long way since QuillBot's early days. And in 2024, we're definitely spoiled for choice.

Grammarly offers comprehensive grammar checking. Jasper and Writesonic excel at content generation. Frase and Anyword cater to specific niches like SEO and marketing. Undetectable AI and Hix Bypass are the best AI paraphrasing tools for avoiding AI detection and dealing with false positives.

Always remember that each tool has its strengths and weaknesses. Your perfect match depends on your specific needs and budget. So, which QuillBot alternative will you try first?

8 of the Best AI Content Detectors in 2024

• By  Joel Witherington
• Aug 21, 2024
• Freelance Software and Tools

Share this article:

Are you keen to discover the best AI content detector? With the increasing sophistication of generative AI, many people are looking for reliable tools to distinguish what is real from artificial .

This article will examine how AI content detectors work and their levels of accuracy. We’ll also explore eight of the top AI content detectors for 2024, providing an overview of their functionality and accuracy. And finally, we’ll show how you can learn how to use AI effectively in your content-creation process .

How Do AI Content Detectors Work?

Generative AI tools use algorithms to create new content, such as images, text, or audio. AI content detectors are designed to detect if a piece of content was partially or entirely generated by an AI program or tool. Similar to generative tools, AI detectors also use algorithms to analyze copy and identify patterns typical to human- or machine-generated content. Detectors compare their analyses with vast datasets of known AI-generated and human-created content to determine the probability of AI involvement in the creation process.

Are AI Content Detectors Accurate?

Although AI content detectors are becoming more accurate, they are not foolproof. Their reliability can vary depending on the sophistication of the AI tool that generated the content. Sometimes, an AI content detector can give false positives. This is especially true with text-based content. Many AI-based grammar checkers also suggest changes to vocabulary, sentence structure, and style. Using a grammar tool like this can sometimes flag an entire document as being AI-generated. Continuous advancements in AI technology mean that detectors have to constantly evolve.

8 of the Best AI Content Detectors

If determining whether AI has been used in the content creation process is important for you, here are eight of the best AI content detectors. These tools can check if what you’re analyzing has been made entirely by a human or if they had some assistance.

Sapling offers a range of tools to help users improve their spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Their AI Detector function allows users to upload files and quickly check them for AI-generated content. Once the text is analyzed, you will get a percentage score. The software will even highlight specific AI content that may have been written partially by a human. The tool is pretty reliable – according to Sapling, only 3% of results show false positives.

This detector uses a multistep method to try and give accurate responses with minimal false positives. It was designed for academic use to detect AI-generated essays, but it is also used by writers and content creators. The tool evaluates content based on familiarity and sentence variance and provides users with an overall percentage detection score. It also highlights sentences with suspected AI content. A free plan offers limited usage, but you’ll need to pay for more frequent use.

3. Originality

Originality is a premium tool that checks for AI content, plagiarism, and readability. It is primarily designed for marketers, copy editors, website publishers, and writers. 

Once you create your account, you can upload your documents. You will receive a detailed report, which you are permitted to share. Although there isn’t a free plan, you can earn 50 credits by installing the free Chrome extension.

4. Copyleaks

This is a good tool if you’re looking for an AI detector that integrates with platforms such as Microsoft Word and Google Docs . It uses the latest techniques to evaluate text and even claims to be able to detect when AI-generated content has been paraphrased. When you copy and paste your document into the tool, AI-detected language is highlighted in purple and paraphrased text in orange.

The tool allows users a limited number of free scans each day. If you exceed this, you’ll need to subscribe. The AI Detector tool is $9.99 per month. It can also be bundled with the plagiarism tool for $16.99 per month.

This detector claims to be the “preferred solution for institutions and publishers.” It was designed to detect AI-generated content in customer service information, marketing materials, and other business-related materials. Not only can it detect AI text, but it can also uncover AI images and deepfakes . It also offers a plagiarism checker. 

Winston offers a seven-day free trial. After this, paid plans start at $12 per month. 

This detector is particularly helpful for students and researchers and offers detailed plagiarism and AI content checks. It is especially good at detecting mixed content or the use of paraphrasing tools. Like many tools on this list, Scribbr generates a percentage showing the likelihood of AI-generated content.
