I am writing this guide for all of those who are looking for the best rewording tool online.

A rewording or a paraphrasing tool used to be very simple back in the day.

Just swap words, turn active into passive voice and get the job done.

But the way plagiarism and AI detection techniques got better, those tools became obsolete.

Now, a rewording tool has to be efficient enough to reword/rewrite already published text as well as to bypass AI detection.

In this guide, I will test top ranking online tools and compare them side by side to pick the “best rewording tool online”.

And you will be surprised to see how your go-to tool is behind the best performer.

Before I start, I’ll list top ranking tools on Google as per their order for the term “Rewording Tool”.

best rewording tools on google

So as per Google, best rewording tools are:

  1. Quillbot
  2. Grammarly
  3. Scribbr
  4. SurferSEO
  5. WordTune
  6. AxiosHQ
  7. RewordGenerator
  8. ToolsMart
  9. UndetectableAI

Now, I will test each service whether they can:

  • Reword text efficiently
  • Bypass AI detection
  • Make text readability easier

So, I will use ChatGPT to write a 100 word paragraph and begin testing.

You can see the paragraph that I generated using ChatGPT has 100% AI writing similarity.

Okay so now that I have text, let’s begin testing.

Quillbot Rewording Tool

Quillbot is by far the biggest and most popular website among these top results. Maybe that’s why it is ranking at number 1. It started as a paraphrasing tool but later added this “rewording tool”.

While rewording & paraphrasing are a bit different from each other. Many raise voices that Quillbot has simply integrated its “paraphrasing tool” , stating it as a “rewording tool”.

Now, I will simply enter ChatGPT text to see whether it effectively reword text.

You can see that the text doesn’t bypass AI detection.

In fact, it has 100% AI similarity!

And the readability of the text is super off.

It is 15 grade, and hemingwayapp flags it as “Poor”.

Grammarly Rewording Tool

Grammarly is another big name offering a rewording tool.

I will give it the same text I generated using ChatGPT to test its results.

Just like Quillbot, Grammarly’s rewording tool also couldn’t bypass AI detection.

Again 100% AI writing similarity!

And the readability of the text is even worse.

Hemingway flags it as “poor” having post-graduate readability!

Okay so first two results as per Google has failed to reword text properly.

And the readability is really hard.

Scribbr Rewording Tool

Scribbr is basically a Quillbot’s proxy and uses the same tool as Quillbot.

And Scribbr ranks at no. 3 in Google for the term “rewording tool”.

I’m sure its result will be the same as we determined using Quillbot.

But still, I’ll give it the same text as I gave to others before.

scribbr rewording result

You can see the results are word by word the same as what Quillbot previously provided!

Since its results are the same, I will not test whether it bypasses AI detection and improves readability.

Because I’ve already tested both.

So far I’ve tested three of the top ranking rewording tools on Google and I just really feel for the users!

People pay lots of money to these tools and they’re not even capable of rewording or making readability better!

SurferSEO Rewording Tool

Okay so this tool is coming from an SEO-focused website, and I expect it to work better.

I’ll feed it the same ChatGPT text to test its results.

surferseo rewording result

SurferSEO’s did a decent job compared to top ranking rewording tools. But still, the text isn’t 100% human.

The text from SurferSEO’s rewording tool still has 68% AI similarity.

surferseo text ai detection result

But in terms of readability, it is as poor as the top ranking tools.

Hemingway flags it as “poor” having post-graduate readability!

WordTune Rewriting Tool

WordTune is another big name with a huge reputation. It is another popular writing assistant that allows users to improve their writing.

Unlike above, wordtune doesn’t have a dedicated “rewording tool”. Instead its rewriting tool is ranking!

Anyways, I’ll give the same text that I have been giving to other tools to test.

Well, I can’t give the entire 100 word text to Wordtune because they only allow 250 characters in one go!

Image here

I think that is really poor. 250 characters are approximately 30-35 words!

I just feel for the wordtune users!

Anyways, I can’t proceed with my test and I’m dropping Wordtune without even checking. Because you need at least 50-80 words for checking AI writing similarity!

Whilst rewording tools by Quillbot, Grammarly, Scribbr, and SurferSEO has disappointed me, WordTune is even poor!

AxiosHQ Sentence Rewriter

Just like WordTune, AxiosHQ does not have a dedicated “rewording tool”. Instead they have a sentence rewriter.

Since it is ranking for the term “rewording tool”, I’ll still use it the way I am using the above.

So I’ll give the same text that I earlier generated using ChatGPT.

Image here

This is so poor. AxiosHQ doesn’t even have a proper sentence rewriter! It is basically a chatbot in my opinion.

Because I gave it some text and it simply answered it! LOL 😂

I just wonder why Google is still ranking this!

Well, just like WordTune, I have to drop this too. And I think it is only a matter of time when Google will penalize this page!

RewordGenerator

RewordGenerator.net is an exact match domain mainly offering a rewording tool.

This website claims to have the best rewording tool online that you can use for free.

And, I’ll give the same text to check whether their claim is right.

rewordgenerator rewording result

Wow, the text is 93% human written!

That’s awesome. RewordGenerator.net is really efficient in terms of bypassing AI similarity.

rewordgenerator text ai detection result

Now, let’s check if the readability of the text provided by Rewordgenerator.net is up to the mark.

rewordgenerator text ai detection result

That is extraordinary. The text has Grade 6 readability.

Without any doubt, RewordGenerator.net is the undisputed champion when it comes to rewording or rewriting text to make it look human written.

ToolsMart Rewording Tool

Toolsmar.ai is one of the fastest growing websites that offers a lot of online tools related to writing, pdfs, docs, and other utilities.

I’ll give the same text to check its performance.

toolsmart rewording result

Except RewordGenerator.net, the content provided by Toolsmart’s Rewording tool can’t bypass AI.

toolsmart ai detection result

Its content has 66% AI writing similarity!

Now, let’s see if the text has better readability or not.

toolsmart text readability result

Hemingway flags it as “poor” having post-graduate readability!

UndetectableAI Rewording Tool

This website mainly got fame due to its ability to bypass AI detection. They are also offering this “rewording tool”.

And, I expect this to provide 100% human-like text while beating all others.

So, I’ll give it the same text as well.

UndetectableAI rewording result

Unfortunately, the text is 100% AI written.

undetectableai text ai detection result

That’s really shocking for me because this website is mainly famous for its ability to undetect AI.

Let’s see if its readability is better or the same like many others.

undetectableai text readability result

And the readability is super off. Hemingway flags it as “poor”.

That really sums up the entire test. I am so proud while writing this comparison guide that the RewordGenerator.net is the only service among the top ranking on Google, that really reword text efficiently.

It accurately bypasses AI detection and improves the readability of the text also.

Here’s a comparison table for the test.

This is the exact reason why we started RewordGenerator.net almost two years back.

At that time, there wasn’t a single tool efficient enough to reword text efficiently while making its readability better and bypassing AI.

And it's been almost 2 years, there’s still not a single rewording tool that comes closer to rewordgenerator.net.

Wrapping up

This test was totally genuine and intended to compare top ranking results to pick the best rewording tool online.

And, RewordGenerator is by far the best in terms of its working efficiency and results.

Here are some key things to learn:

  1. Google is ranking “rewording tools” on the basis of a website's reputation and not on quality.
  2. Quillbot, Grammarly, Scribbr are just fooling users as their tools are incapable of rewording text to make readability better or bypass AI.
  3. WordTune doesn’t have a rewording tool. And they only allow 35 words in one try! This is really below the mark.
  4. AxiosHQ has a chatbot in the form of a rewording tool that is totally not what a user would want. 
  5. Only RewordGenerator.net actually bypasses AI and makes readability of the AI text better.
