For individual students and casual users, EasyBib's Paraphrasing Tool is the clear winner because it's free to start and works directly in a browser. Turnitin's Draft Coach is far more powerful for plagiarism checking and academic integrity, but it's locked behind institutional subscriptions and requires school setup. The single biggest difference: EasyBib is for you; Turnitin is for your school.

Common questions
Yes, you can use it in your phone's web browser — just go to easybib.com. There is no dedicated mobile app, but the website works fine on a phone screen.
It is free for you if your school has already paid for a Turnitin license and enabled Draft Coach. You cannot sign up or pay for it yourself as an individual student.
Turnitin Draft Coach is better because it checks against the world's largest academic database, including other students' papers. EasyBib's plagiarism checker is good but less comprehensive.
The free version limits you to 500 words per paraphrase. To paraphrase longer texts, you need a paid Chegg subscription (around $15/month).
Yes, you need to install the Turnitin Draft Coach extension for Google Docs or the add-in for Microsoft Word. You also need to log in through your school's single sign-on system.
EasyBib is much easier — just open the website, paste your text, and click Paraphrase. Turnitin requires school setup, extension installation, and institutional login, which can take days or weeks.
EasyBib wins for individual students who need free, instant paraphrasing; Turnitin Draft Coach is only better if your school pays for it and you want the most thorough plagiarism check.
If you're a student working on your own, start with EasyBib — it's free, fast, and works in any browser. If your school provides Turnitin access and you write in Google Docs or Word, use Draft Coach for the best plagiarism protection. For most everyday paraphrasing needs, EasyBib is the practical choice.
