Pricing

Prices as listed in 2026 research. Always check the official site for the latest price — plans change. Free plan: Yes — it has a free plan.

How it works

The free plan covers basic checks, with Prime at $12 a month on annual billing for unlimited AI suggestions, and Pro at $29 for the full feature set including plagiarism checks. It is built for researchers who write in English as a second language and want their papers to read like a native speaker wrote them.

Paperpal is a strong choice for academic writing, especially for non-native English speakers. The free plan is enough to test it, and the Prime plan is reasonably priced for what it does. As with any AI writer, check its suggestions against your journal's style guide.
