QuillBot
Paraphrasing and summarising, done better than anything bundled.
FreemiumFrom $9.95/mo
Overview
QuillBot's core function is rewriting text you already have — paraphrasing in several tone modes, condensing long documents, and tightening awkward passages. It does this better than the paraphrase features bundled into larger suites, which is why it has held a large user base among students and non-native English writers.
It also carries a reputation problem, since paraphrasing tools are widely used to disguise copied text. Used properly it is a legitimate clarity and concision tool; used to launder someone else's writing it is plagiarism regardless of how much the words change.

Paraphrasing quality is the best available in a dedicated tool.
