Does Tracely write my essay?

No. It checks the claims you wrote. A fix swaps one sentence for one sentence, and nothing changes in your doc until you accept it.

Where does Tracely find sources?

Scholarly papers from OpenAlex and pages from the web. Tracely reads each one before it shows it to you, and offers it only when it backs your sentence, with the words that back it.

Is Tracely free?

Yes. The free plan checks up to 400 times a day and runs 5 source searches a day (40 a month). Student, at $10 a month, and Pro, at $17.99 a month, have no daily check limit and more searches: 20 and 40 a day. Compare plans

Which citation formats does it support?

MLA, APA and Chicago. Tracely cites in the style your document already uses, or MLA when it can't tell, and you can choose one in Settings.

Is my writing private?

Nothing is read until you turn Tracely on for Google Docs or a site. Then your text goes to our server and on to OpenAI to be checked, and we don't keep it. OpenAI doesn't train on it, though it may hold it for up to 30 days to check for abuse. The desktop app's results are kept for up to 7 days, then deleted. Read the privacy policy

Who can use Tracely?

Anyone 13 or older. If you're under 18, you need a parent or guardian's permission, and a parent or guardian buys any paid plan.
