Common questions

More in the help center.

Is WriteOrbit free?

Yes. The free plan includes the full editor, the citation generator and a daily AI allowance. You don’t need a credit card.

Are the citations real?

Yes. Every citation comes from a scholarly database, not from the AI’s memory. Click a citation to open the paper.

Which citation styles can I use?

APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago, Harvard, AMA, ACS, IEEE, Vancouver, Turabian, Bluebook and over 10,000 journal styles. Change the style and every citation and the reference list update.

Can WriteOrbit check my claims?

Yes. Claim check reads your draft, flags claims that are unsupported or overstated, and shows where you need a citation. Source quality spots retracted papers and wrong DOIs.

Is it only for academic writing?

It is built for students, researchers and academics. It also works for any writing that needs sources, such as reports, articles and features.

Will my writing be used to train AI?

No. WriteOrbit does not train AI on your documents. They stay private to you and the people you share them with.

Can I use my university's Word template?

Yes. Open the .docx and WriteOrbit keeps its styles, headers and page setup when you export.

Can I write with others?

Yes. Invite people as editors, commenters or viewers and write in the same document at the same time.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. WriteOrbit runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, and your work syncs between them.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Cancel from your account. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
