Quick verdict
QuillBot is a set of writing tools: a paraphraser, grammar checker, summarizer, AI detector and humanizer, plagiarism checker, citation generator and AI Chat. Free paraphrases up to 100 words at a time in 2 modes (Standard and Fluency), fixes basic grammar errors, summarizes up to 1,200 words and allows up to 20 AI Chat queries a day, with no plagiarism checks. Premium adds unlimited paraphrasing in 9 built-in modes plus unlimited custom modes, advanced grammar and tone suggestions, the full AI detector and humanizer, plagiarism checks of 25,000 words a month and unlimited AI Chat.
Treat the price with care. QuillBot's blog, last updated February 20, 2026, lists Premium at $19.95 a month, $39.95 every 3 months, or $99.95 a year paid up front ($8.33 a month). Our network was shown euro prices on the live page, QuillBot's help center says prices vary by region, and we could not confirm these as the current US checkout prices. QuillBot's Terms say taxes are added to the prices shown.
Usage rights are the decisive limit. QuillBot's Terms say a free account may be used "only for your personal, non-commercial purposes", and Premium only "for your personal use or your internal business purposes". External commercial use is stated only for Team Plan users. This verdict rests on what QuillBot documents, not on our tests, which we have not run yet.

QuillBot for Windows works inside apps such as Word, Outlook, Slack and WhatsApp. The Word add-in is free with basic Paraphraser and Grammar Checker features, and Premium unlocks all modes and higher limits. QuillBot Flow, a writing space with online research, notes and autocomplete, stores documents up to 10 MB on Free and 100 MB on Premium.

QuillBot says Premium usage limits may vary by surface. The $39.95 option, which the blog calls semi-annual, bills every 3 months.
