How to Cancel QuillBot Premium in 2026 (Free Alternatives That Work)

QuillBot Premium costs $9.95/month or $49.95/year for AI paraphrasing and grammar checking. With ChatGPT and other free AI tools available, it's worth asking whether you still need it. Here's how to cancel and what alternatives exist.

How to Cancel QuillBot Premium

1. Go to quillbot.com/account
2. Log in to your account
3. Click Subscription
4. Click Cancel Subscription
5. Confirm cancellation

Access continues until your billing period ends. You revert to QuillBot Free — not deleted.

Cancel via App Store (If Applicable)

• iPhone: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → QuillBot → Cancel
• Android: Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → QuillBot → Cancel

Free vs Premium — What You Actually Lose

• Paraphraser word limit: Unlimited → 125 words per use
• Paraphrasing modes: 9 modes → 2 modes (Standard and Fluency only)
• Grammar checker: Still works on free (basic corrections)
• Summarizer: Premium only — 1,200→6,000 word input
• Tone detection: Premium only
• Plagiarism checker: Premium only (20 pages/month)
• Co-Writer: Premium only
• Chrome extension: Still works on free (limited features)

The 125-word limit is the biggest practical limitation. If you only need to rephrase a sentence or two at a time, free works fine.

Why ChatGPT Replaced QuillBot for Most People

QuillBot launched before the AI chatbot wave. Now, free AI tools do everything QuillBot does — and more:

• Paraphrasing: "Rephrase this paragraph in a more professional tone" — ChatGPT does this with no word limit
• Grammar: "Fix the grammar in this text" — any chatbot handles this
• Summarizing: "Summarize this article in 3 bullet points" — no input length limit
• Tone adjustment: "Make this sound more casual / formal / academic" — more flexible than preset modes

Free Alternatives

• ChatGPT (free) — paraphrase, grammar check, summarize, change tone — unlimited, no word cap
• Claude.ai (free) — excellent for rewriting and editing, often more natural output
• Grammarly (free tier) — better grammar/spelling checker than QuillBot, browser extension included
• LanguageTool (free) — open source grammar checker, privacy-focused
• Google Docs "Help me write" (free) — built-in AI writing assistant, no extra tool needed
• Microsoft Copilot (free) — GPT-4 powered, paraphrasing with no limits

A Note for Students

QuillBot is popular among students for paraphrasing assignments. Two things to know:

• AI detection tools (Turnitin, GPTZero) can now detect QuillBot-paraphrased text. It's not a reliable plagiarism workaround anymore.
• Most universities have AI policies — using QuillBot to rephrase sources without attribution may violate academic integrity rules even if it passes detection.
• Better approach: use AI tools to understand sources, then write in your own words.

Refund Policy
