QuillBot is a suite of writing tools. As of November 2026, its site lists a paraphraser with more than ten modes, a free grammar checker, a citation generator, a summarizer, an AI detector and a plagiarism checker, with a Premium subscription that raises the limits. CheckMyManuscript's Essay Review is one product: you upload a finished essay and get a PDF report on language, structure, typos and MLA or APA citations. The two do different jobs, and many students could use both.

Why researchers choose CheckMyManuscript
Reads the whole essay
The Essay Review looks at the essay as an instructor would: whether it states an argument, whether the paragraphs follow it, and whether the conclusion answers it. The report covers the whole essay, not one sentence at a time.
Checks the citations you already have
In-text citations are checked against the Works Cited or References, so a source missing from the list or a citation in the wrong style is flagged in the report.
Your words stay yours
Every finding quotes the passage and suggests a fix. Nothing is rewritten for you, which keeps the essay in your voice.
Choosing between them
For one job: a review of a finished essay before you hand it in. For paraphrasing, summarizing or checking text while you write, QuillBot does things the Essay Review does not. They can be used together.
