Use tool ↗About Yomu
Yomu AI is a writing environment for students and researchers rather than a general assistant. In one editor it drafts and rewrites sections, autocompletes sentences and paragraphs, paraphrases, expands, shortens and summarises, formats citations in over 700 styles and runs a plagiarism check. A chat panel answers questions about uploaded PDFs and images, your saved library and academic and web search results. Plans are metered in AI actions: Pro gives 1,000 a month on lighter models, Ultra is unlimited and adds frontier models, and document editing never uses credits. The same team publishes Sourcely for finding sources and Revise for grammar.

Pros & cons of Yomu
Yomu bundles the four things a thesis actually needs — drafting, citation formatting, a plagiarism pass and PDF questioning — into one editor, at a price below most single-purpose rivals. It is squarely academic: shaped for essays and literature reviews, not business writing. Pro's 1,000 monthly actions go quickly if you lean on autocomplete.
Pros
- Citation formatting across more than 700 styles
- Plagiarism check sits in the same editor as the drafting tools
- Chat with uploaded PDFs and images plus academic and web search
- Document editing and the default chat model do not consume credits
Cons
- Pro caps you at 1,000 AI actions a month; unlimited needs Ultra
- Month-to-month prices are roughly double the annual rates ($21 vs $10 for Pro)
- Web only — no desktop app, no API, and mobile is a browser experience
- No company name, address or country published on the site
Best for
- Students writing essays, literature reviews and theses
- Anyone juggling several citation styles inside one document
- Researchers who want to interrogate a stack of PDFs while drafting
Not for
- Business, marketing or technical copy, which the tool is not shaped for
- Institutions needing an API or LMS integration
Watch out: The headline $10 and $17 are annual rates paid up front ($120 and $204); paying monthly costs $21 and $35.
