Best QuillBot Alternative
Looking for a QuillBot alternative? QuillBot is browser-only with strict word limits. Schriftly works in any app on your desktop, gives you 200+ AI models with no word caps, and costs $39 once — not $100/year.
Works in any app, not just the browser
QuillBot requires a browser or plugin. Schriftly works as a native desktop app — use it in any application with a keyboard shortcut.
Your text stays private
QuillBot processes text on their servers. Schriftly's BYOK model sends text directly to your AI provider — we never see your content.
$39 once, not $100/year
QuillBot Premium costs $8.33/month ($99.95/year). Schriftly is $39 one-time with BYOK. No recurring fees, no word limits.
Feature comparison
Where it works
Native desktop app that works in any application — emails, code editors, chat apps, documents. Select text, press shortcut, done.
Web app with Chrome extension and Google Docs/Word add-ins. Can't use it in desktop apps like Slack, VS Code, or native email clients.
Privacy
BYOK model means your text goes directly to your AI provider. Schriftly never sees or stores your content.
All text is sent to QuillBot's servers for processing. Their privacy policy covers data usage for service improvement.
AI flexibility
200+ AI models via OpenAI and OpenRouter. Create unlimited custom prompts for any writing task. Not just paraphrasing.
Proprietary AI with 7+ paraphrasing modes (Standard, Fluency, Formal, etc.). No model choice, no custom prompts.
Pricing
$39 one-time with BYOK for unlimited use. No word limits, no character limits. Most users spend under $1/month on API costs.
Free tier limited to 125 words per paraphrase. Premium is $8.33/month billed annually ($99.95/year). Word limits on free tier.
Bottom line: QuillBot is a capable paraphrasing tool if you work exclusively in the browser. But if you want AI writing help everywhere on your desktop — with full privacy, no word limits, and 200+ AI models — Schriftly is the more powerful and flexible option.
