Best Paraphrasing Tool | Free & Premium Tools Compared

Paraphrasing means rewording something – expressing the same idea in different words. Paraphrasing tools (or paraphrasers) are AI-powered online tools that can automatically rewrite your text for you. Students often use them to improve their writing and provide inspiration – making their text more formal, more fluent, or more concise.

But which online paraphrasers are really reliable at producing correct and readable English? To find out, we tested seven of the most popular free tools – and their premium versions when available.

We wrote three short sample texts to test their ability to improve text that was long-winded, grammatically incorrect, or disjointed. We ran these texts through all the different tools and assessed the fluency and accuracy of the output. We also took the user-friendliness of the tools into consideration.

The results show that the premium versions of Wordtune and QuillBot are the best tools out there, each excelling in different ways. If you’re looking for a free tool, Paraphrase Tool and QuillBot are the strongest options.
