Common questions

Do I need QuillBot for a word count?
No. Count My Page counts live without an account.
Does QuillBot upload my text?
Yes. Paraphrasing runs on QuillBot's servers; the free tier and paid tier both upload.
Which counts words more accurately?
Both count whitespace tokens; they agree to the digit on plain body text.
Is QuillBot Premium worth it?
Only if you need paraphrasing, summarizing, or grammar rewriting. Not for the word counter alone.
Should I use both?
Yes when the workflow is "rewrite in QuillBot, verify count and Flesch here".
