Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 3 of the 100 other writing tools we grade
Smodin is a browser-based set of AI writing tools for students and writers: an essay writer, chat assistant, AI content detector, humanizer, plagiarism checker, rewriter, summarizer and translator. Two paid plans differ mainly in output limits, model quality and a Chrome extension.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Smodin, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Purchases are non-refundable, and tools that get text past AI detectors can break school or workplace rules.
- 1
Best for student writing tools bundled on one plan
Smodin bundles an essay writer, chat, AI detector, humanizer, plagiarism checker, rewriter and summarizer.
- 2
Paid plans start at $10 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $10 per month, billed annually ($12.99 billed monthly).
- 3
It runs on Web
Web, with a browser extension too.
- 4
AI writer and chat
Writes essays, summaries and rewrites from prompts, and a chat assistant answers questions. Premium adds extended chat memory.
- 5
AI content detector
Checks whether text is likely AI-generated. The vendor says its detector covers 100 or more languages.
- 6
AI humanizer
Rewrites text to read as human-written, with AI Extra and Plagiarism modes. The FAQ calls detection removal about 80% consistent.
- 7
A 1.8 GPA, above 3 of 100
That is against the other writing tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
To replace Smodin you would be making an AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for student writing tools bundled on one plan
Smodin bundles an essay writer, chat, AI detector, humanizer, plagiarism checker, rewriter and summarizer. Starter is $10 a month billed yearly, and the pricing page states no free plan or trial. Purchases are non-refundable, and tools that get text past AI detectors can break school or workplace rules.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $10 a month on yearly billing, $12.99 monthly. Premium is $16 yearly. Both sit around the middle of what writing tools charge, which is $9.95. |
| Free plan and trial | F | The pricing page states no free plan and no trial, and the FAQ says subscriptions are non-refundable. |
| Features | C | Many tools in one place. Writing output is limited on Starter and the Chrome extension is Premium only. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It's a web account with several separate tools to learn. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, a Chrome extension on Premium only, and a Google Docs connection. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Who it is not for

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Smodin you would be making an AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 89 of the 100 other writing tools grade higher. It costs $120 a year.
What you could make
- Long-form writing: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
- It plugs into other products, Google Docs and Chrome among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Smodin’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
