QuillBot Pricing at a Glance
QuillBot has one paid product, Premium, sold in three billing cycles. The features are the same on every cycle. Only the price changes. Longer commitments cost less per month. The table below shows the standard list prices.
| Plan | Price | Cost per month |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 |
| Premium, monthly | $19.95 a month | $19.95 |
| Premium, quarterly | $39.95 every 3 months | About $13.31 |

Annual billing saves about $139 a year compared with monthly billing. That is the whole pricing decision for most buyers. If you need Premium for a full year, pay annually. If you need it for one term or one project, pay monthly and cancel when you finish.
One warning: the price at checkout can differ from the list price. QuillBot runs frequent promotions, and prices vary by region and account. Its upgrade page sometimes shows discounted rates, such as a lower annual price during a sale. Treat the list prices above as the reference rate. Check your own checkout page before you buy.
QuillBot Free vs Premium: What Changes
The free plan is a real tool, not a demo. It paraphrases up to 125 words at a time in two modes, Standard and Fluency. It fixes basic grammar errors. It gives limited use of the AI Detector and the Humanizer, also capped at 125 words. It creates basic summaries of up to 1,200 words. For a quick rewrite of a paragraph, Free is enough.
Premium removes the caps that define the free plan. Paraphrasing becomes unlimited, in nine built-in modes plus unlimited custom modes. The modes include Formal, Academic, Simple, Expand and Shorten. Premium paraphrases in 23 languages and translates text into more than 40 languages. Grammar checking covers six languages. You also get advanced grammar recommendations and tone insights.
The paid tools matter most for students and researchers. Premium includes a plagiarism checker with 25,000 words scanned per month. It creates custom summaries of up to 6,000 words. It gives full access to the AI Detector and the Humanizer, with history and insights. It adds a citation creator for academic work. Documents saved in QuillBot Flow get 100 MB of storage instead of 10 MB. Processing runs faster on Premium.
What Premium Unlocks, Tool by Tool
QuillBot Premium bundles seven tools under one subscription. The Paraphraser is the core product. It rewrites text in nine modes and lets you adjust the synonym level. The Grammar Checker catches errors beyond the basics and suggests advanced fixes. The Summarizer condenses long text into key points, with custom summary lengths on Premium.
The Plagiarism Checker scans up to 25,000 words a month against web pages. QuillBot states that it cannot detect paraphrased content, so it is a check for accidental copying, not a guarantee of originality. The AI Detector checks whether text looks AI-generated, with full access on Premium. The Humanizer rewrites text to sound more natural, with full access and history on Premium. The Translator covers more than 40 languages. The Co-Writer and Flow tools help with longer documents and research.
Premium works across devices. QuillBot offers Chrome, Edge and Safari extensions, Windows and macOS apps, Android and iOS apps, and a Word add-in. A Premium account can be used on up to 10 devices at once. You can pause a subscription instead of cancelling it.
QuillBot Team Plans and Student Discounts
Teams buy Premium per seat. The Team plan covers 2 to 10 seats at $89.95 per seat per year, or about $7.50 per seat per month. It includes everything in Premium, plus a writer-management dashboard, usage reports, a team style guide and dictionary, and centralized billing. Larger groups pay less per seat, with rates from $69.95 per seat per year depending on seat count.
Students can pay less. QuillBot offers a student rate through UNiDAYS, with a verified student email required. The student annual price has been reported at about $74.95 a year, or about $6.25 a month. Check the current student offer on QuillBot's upgrade page, since promotions change.
QuillBot offers a money-back guarantee for new Premium subscribers within a short window after purchase. Confirm the current terms before you rely on it, since the window and conditions can change.
Is QuillBot Premium Worth It?
Premium is worth it if you paraphrase often. Students rewriting reference material, researchers polishing drafts and content writers reworking copy will hit the free plan's 125-word cap within minutes. Nine modes and unlimited words change the tool from a toy into a daily utility. The plagiarism checker and 6,000-word summaries add value for academic work.
Premium is not worth it if you only rewrite the occasional paragraph. The free plan handles short text fine. It is also a poor buy if you need deep editing. QuillBot rewrites sentences. It does not plan, structure or fact-check your writing. For long-form drafting, a fuller writing tool may serve you better.
Watch the billing cycle. Monthly billing costs nearly two and a half times the annual rate for the same features. A student who needs Premium for one term should still compare the quarterly plan. At $39.95 for three months, it costs less than two months of monthly billing.
Bottom Line
QuillBot Premium costs $19.95 a month, $39.95 a quarter or $99.95 a year. The annual plan is the best value at about $8.33 a month. Free covers short rewrites and basic grammar. Premium unlocks unlimited paraphrasing in nine modes, a plagiarism checker, full AI detection and humanizing, and 6,000-word summaries. Pay annually if you will use it all year. Pay monthly only for a short project. Check the checkout page first, since promotions and regional prices often beat the list price.
