What QuillBot does
Who it’s for: anyone stuck on wording: an email that sounds too curt, a sentence that runs too long, a paragraph to say more simply.
Choose your words and control how much changes
In the paraphrased text, you click a word to see synonyms and pick another. A slider sets how much changes: few edits and a very faithful meaning, or a freer version.
Compare modes and find your history
QuillBot lets you compare the results of several modes for the same sentence, and keeps a history of your paraphrases. We could not verify whether these two features are included in the free plan.

- Fix mistakes
- Summarize a long text

Nova’s advice
The free plan is enough for the most common office use: saying a sentence or a paragraph another way. Only pay if you paraphrase long texts every day, or if you need the “Formal” and “Shorten” modes. If you write mostly in French, compare with DeepL Write and LanguageTool first.

What it does less well
- The free plan stops at 125 words per passage and two modes. The most useful modes at the office, “Formal” and “Shorten,” are paid.
- Not everything works in French: according to the help, the summarizer and the plagiarism checker work only in English. The site we reviewed is in English.
Reword a sentence that won’t come out rightQuillBot- Open quillbot.com/paraphrasing-tool.
- Paste a sentence from an email that feels heavy or too curt. An invoice reminder makes a good test.
- Leave the “Standard” mode on and click “Paraphrase.”
- Read the suggested version. Click a word you don’t like: a list of synonyms opens.
- Move the synonyms slider. To the left, the text stays close to yours. To the right, it changes more.
- Try the “Fluency” mode, compare the two versions, and copy the one that says exactly what you mean.
