Does GenText work inside Microsoft Word?

Yes. GenText has a Microsoft Word add-in and a browser app at app.gentext.ai, with the same plans and the same account.

Yes. The free plan gives you 1,000 words a day, up to 5,000 a month, with no credit card. Premium is $19 a month or $190 a year, and students pay $99 a year with an academic email.

Does Jenni AI have a free plan?

Yes. Jenni's free plan includes 10 AI autocompletes a day and a small number of edits, chat messages and reviews.

Can GenText tell me if a reference is fake?

GenText checks whether each reference matches a published record and flags retracted papers. A reference that is not found may still be real, for example a book chapter or a very new paper, so check it yourself before you remove it.

Is it allowed to use AI for my assignment?

That depends on your university and your course. Check your institution's policy, and say how you used AI if you are asked to.

GenText vs Jenni AI: Which Fits How You Write? (2026)

Facts checked on 14 October 2026. Prices change, so check each vendor’s page before you buy.

The short answer

GenText works where your assignment lives: in Microsoft Word, or in the browser. It finds academic papers, inserts citations in your style and checks your reference list before you hand in. You get 1,000 free words a day, up to 5,000 a month, and students get a full year of Premium for $99.

Choose GenText if you write in Word, or your supervisor or journal works in .docx. Draft, cite and run “Check references” without moving your document. The free plan is a monthly allowance, not a trial, and there is a clear student price.
Choose Jenni AI if you want one web workspace where you read your PDFs and trace each AI suggestion back to the place in the source it came from.

Why students and researchers choose GenText

You stay in Word. Draft sections, rephrase, summarise and cite inside Microsoft Word with the GenText add-in. Jenni is its own web workspace, so you write there and export to .docx.
A reference check on the document you already have. “Check references” checks that each reference exists and matches its published record, and flags retracted papers. It works on any reference list, including one written by someone else or by another AI tool.
Citations in the styles you are marked on. APA 7th, MLA 9th, Chicago (author-date), Harvard and IEEE, as in-text citations with a bibliography or as footnotes.
Sources from Semantic Scholar, which indexes over 200 million academic papers.
A free plan you can keep using. 1,000 words a day, up to 5,000 a month, with no credit card.
A clear student price. Premium for $99 a year with an academic email, applied at checkout. Jenni’s pricing page did not show a student price when we checked.
