Frequently Asked Questions

Using WriteTone

What is WriteTone?
WriteTone is a set of AI writing and learning tools: a paraphraser with many tones (simple, formal, casual and more), an AI humanizer, an AI detector, a grammar checker, a summarizer, a co-writer, 30+ AI tools for students and teachers, and an AI Tutor.
Is WriteTone free?
Yes. WriteTone has a Free plan, and WriteTone Plus (monthly or yearly) for higher limits and more features. See Pricing for the current plans.
Can I try it without an account?
Yes. You can try the tools a few times without signing up. After that, create a free account to keep going.
How do I get started?
Create a free account with your email, or with Google or Facebook, and start using the tools. You can upgrade to Plus at any time from Pricing.
Why do I need to verify my email?
If you sign up with an email and password, we send you a link to confirm the address before you can use the AI tools. Your text is kept while you verify. Signing in with Google or Facebook, or buying a plan, verifies your account automatically.
I didn't get the verification or password reset email.
Please check your spam or junk folder first. If it's not there, use Resend email in the verification popup (once a minute), or request a new reset link. Still nothing? Contact us.
What can the AI Tutor help with?
The AI Tutor explains topics step by step across 63 subjects, including math with properly formatted equations. You can upload a photo of a problem, use hint mode, and save and share your sessions. Exam Prep, knowledge-gap checks and learning paths build on it.
Can WriteTone check grammar and spelling?
Yes. Use the Grammar Checker to find and fix grammar and spelling mistakes.
Can I use WriteTone on my phone?
Yes. WriteTone works in any modern web browser on phones, tablets and computers. There is also a Chrome extension for writing on other websites.
How do I cancel my Plus plan?
Go to your Account page and choose Cancel Plan. You keep Plus until the end of the period you've paid for, and you can reactivate before then.
Is my data secure?
We take data security seriously. See our Privacy Policy for how your data is handled.
Are the results always perfect?
WriteTone is a writing assistant, not a replacement for your judgment. Always review the output and adjust it to your context before you use it.

Affiliate Program

What is the WriteTone Affiliate Program?
You share WriteTone with your audience and earn commission on what the customers you refer pay. Your customers also get a discount on their subscription.
How do I join?
Go to writetone.com/affiliate and click Apply to join. Tell us your name, email and where you'll share WriteTone. We reply within 2 business days - please also check your spam or junk folder. Use the same email as your WriteTone account (or the one you'll sign up with).
How much commission do I earn?
Your terms are agreed when you join and are shown on your affiliate dashboard: a percentage (or fixed amount) of each payment, for a set number of months. Commission is calculated on the amount the customer actually pays, after their discount, and includes renewals within your commission period.
How does the customer discount work?
Customers don't need to type a code. When they arrive through your link, your discount is applied automatically at checkout, for the number of months in your terms.
What is my referral link?
Your link is shown on your dashboard, for example https://auth.writetone.com/affiliate/ref/YOURCODE. A plain https://writetone.com/?ref=YOURCODE link works too. Share it on your website, videos, social media or newsletter.
How is a referral tracked?
When someone opens your link, the referral is remembered for 30 days in that browser, so you still get credit if they subscribe later on the same device. If they later use another affiliate's link, the most recent link counts. You can't refer yourself.
How do I track my earnings?
Log in at writetone.com/affiliate with your WriteTone account to see your clicks, sales, commissions and payouts. Customer emails are partly hidden for privacy.
When and how do I get paid?
Add your payment details (PayPal, bank transfer or other) in the dashboard's Settings. Payouts are made quarterly once your approved balance is $20 or more; smaller balances roll over to the next quarter. Before each payment we ask you for an invoice. If a payment is refunded or disputed, it earns no commission, and a commission that was already paid is deducted from your next payout. If a customer cancels, there is no commission on future months.

WriteTone API

What is the WriteTone API?
The API lets developers add WriteTone to their own apps: humanize AI-generated text, paraphrase in different tones, and fix grammar. See the API documentation.
How do I get started with the API?
Create a WriteTone account, open the API Developer Portal, choose a plan, generate an API key, and send it in the X-API-Key header of your requests.
What endpoints are available?
POST /api/v1/humanize makes AI-generated text sound natural; POST /api/v1/paraphrase rewrites text in different tones; POST /api/v1/grammar fixes grammar and spelling.
How is API usage billed?
By characters processed: each call counts the characters you send plus the characters returned. For example, sending 1,000 characters and receiving 1,200 back uses 2,200 characters of your monthly quota.
What are the API plans?
Starter ($9/month, 100K characters), Developer ($29, 500K), Professional ($69, 1.5M), Business ($149, 5M), Scale ($349, 15M) and Ultra ($799, 50M). See API pricing for details.
Is there a rate limit?
Yes, per minute: Starter 10, Developer 30, Professional 60, Business 120, Scale 300, Ultra 600 requests. Above the limit you get a 429 error; wait and retry, or upgrade your plan.
How many API keys can I create?
Up to 5 per subscription, for example one each for development, staging and production. All keys share the same monthly quota.
What if I lose my API key?
Keys are shown only once, when you create them, and can't be recovered. Revoke the lost key and create a new one in the Developer Portal. Keep keys somewhere safe, such as environment variables.
How do I manage my API subscription?
In the Developer Portal you can see usage, create or revoke keys, change plan, update your payment method and cancel.
