Chat and workflows aimed at go to market copy
Copy.ai moved away from short-form generation toward chained workflows, so the unit of work is a repeatable process rather than a one-off caption. Its chat tier reaches OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini models from one subscription with unlimited words. Anybody who only wanted captions will find the tool has grown past them.
Paraphrasing and grammar checks in one place
QuillBot started as a paraphraser and grew a grammar checker, a summariser, a citation generator and a plagiarism check around it. Students are the core audience and the pricing says so, but the rewriting modes are the fastest way to loosen a paragraph that came out stiff. The free tier caps how much text each tool will take at once rather than how often you use it.
Our note
Against Grammarly this is the cheaper option and the better rewriter; Grammarly is the better proofreader and has the wider integrations. If the problem is that a sentence reads badly rather than that it is wrong, this is the one to try.
