Visit Scribbr

Scribbr is a set of tools for academic writing. Its best-known free tool is the citation generator: you paste a website link, book ISBN or DOI and it builds a reference in APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard and other styles, keeps separate reference lists for each assignment and can export them for Word or LaTeX.

The free paraphrasing tool (which Scribbr says is powered by QuillBot) rewrites sentences and paragraphs of up to 125 words per input, with no sign-up and no ads, and a clickable thesaurus for single words. Use it to understand a difficult passage or to check your own wording, not to disguise someone else's work; your teacher still expects your own thinking and a citation for every source.

The paid part is the plagiarism checker, which compares your document with web pages and scholarly publications. The page lists one-time prices per check rather than a subscription: $19.95 for up to 7,499 words, $29.95 up to 49,999 words and $39.95 above that. Scribbr also sells human proofreading and has a grammar checker, summariser and AI detector.

Many Pakistani universities run Turnitin. Scribbr says its checker uses similar software, but your university's report can still differ, so leave time to fix issues.
