I have a subscription but I can’t use Plagiarism Checks

When you first sign up to a ProWritingAid account, we will give you two credits to run Plagiarism Checks. After you have used these, if you want to run more Plagiarism Checks, you will need to buy more credits. This is because we do not include credits with any of our plans.

How to buy more Plagiarism Checks

You can purchase Plagiarism Checks directly on our website.

Alternatively, log in to your account on the ProWritingAid website. If you are already logged in, hover over your profile name and click “My Account.” You can also go to your Dashboard and click on your profile icon in the top right-hand side of your window, then click “My Account.”

On the right-hand side of your window, click on the “Purchase more credits” button under “Plagiarism Checks.”

Why aren’t Plagiarism Checks included in subscriptions?

Plagiarism Checks require advanced processing to run, as we check your work against more than a billion web pages, published works, and academic papers. That’s why we offer Plagiarism Checks as a specialized add-on. This keeps subscription costs down while still giving you the choice to access these checks.

Discover how to use the ProWritingAid Plagiarism Checker and why you should avoid plagiarism in your work.

We do not include credits with any of our subscriptions. However, when you first subscribe to Premium or Premium Pro, we will give you one credit to try Manuscript Analysis or Virtua Beta Reader and two Plagiarism Checks.
