Use tool ↗About Textero
Textero writes academic essays from a prompt and attaches citations, then surrounds that with a toolkit: outline generator, thesis generator, PDF and text summarisers, an essay grader and feedback generator, a proofreader, paraphraser, extender and shortener, Harvard and general citation generators, and a Spanish paraphraser. It also sells an 'AI detection remover', which is a humanizer. Usage is metered as credits — one page of generated essay is one credit — with five credits and five AI commands a day on the free tier. Chrome and Edge extensions are published. The site claims 300,000+ users and carries ratings on Google, Trustpilot and Sitejabber. The operator is A-Help Limited in Limassol, Cyprus.

Pros & cons of Textero
As a paid essay generator it is complete: citations attached, a free daily allowance that is enough to judge output quality, a clear price ladder down to $8.25/month annually, and a named Cypriot entity behind it. The problem is not the software. It ships an AI detection remover alongside an ethical-use page, which tells you exactly which use case the pricing is designed around, and most institutions treat that as misconduct.
Pros
- Free tier gives 5 credits and 5 AI commands daily plus unlimited PDF uploads
- Clear credit definition — one generated page equals one credit
- Wide toolkit around the generator: outlines, grading, proofreading, paraphrasing, citations
- Chrome and Edge extensions, and a named registered company in Limassol, Cyprus
- 14-day money-back guarantee on the quarterly and yearly plans
Cons
- Sells an AI detection remover, which puts the product squarely in academic-misconduct territory
- AI-attached citations still need checking — generated references are a known failure mode
- Only the monthly plan is truly month-to-month; the cheap rates require quarterly or annual commitment
- The 300,000+ user figure and star ratings are self-reported on the marketing page
Best for
- Producing a structured first draft when you are stuck on a blank page
- Generating outlines, theses and formatted citations for work you then write yourself
- Non-native English writers cleaning up phrasing and structure
Not for
- Any assignment where submitting generated prose breaches your institution's rules
- Research where fabricated or unverifiable references would be fatal
Watch out: Submitting generated text, humanized or not, breaches most institutions' academic integrity policies.
