    QuillBot Premium price corrected to $19.95 (we had listed $23.95)

    Our data listed QuillBot Premium at $23.95 a month. QuillBot's Premium page reads '$19.95 USD Per month' in our saved copies from 2026-10-22, 2026-10-23 and 2026-10-27, so we corrected the figure. This fixes our own error; QuillBot did not change its price. The $8.33 billed-annually figure was already correct.
