No. AI proofreading is optional and off by default. If you turn it on, it checks spelling, accents and wording without changing what you say or your direct quotations, and shows you every change at the end. Your text is only sent to the AI service (DeepSeek) if you turn it on; the format is applied separately, without AI.
DocPana comes with 11 style guides (APA-UPEL (2016, 2022, and 2025 editions), APA 7, ICONTEC, Vancouver, MLA, Chicago, ISO 690, IEEE, and Harvard). If yours isn’t there, or your professor wants something different, you create «My format» with the margins, font, line spacing, headings and page numbers you’re asked for, save it under a name, and it’s applied just like any style guide.
No. The format is applied on our servers, so you need a connection to upload your document and download the result. Once downloaded, the Word file is yours and you can open it anywhere, offline too.
The Free plan doesn’t need cancelling. Paid plans are managed in Google Play, under Payments & subscriptions: you cancel there whenever you want and keep your plan until the end of the period you already paid for. And if you want to leave altogether, you can delete your account and your documents from the app. How to delete your account
It’s what you spend when you use DocPana. The app shows you what each action costs before you start.
- Formatting a document: 1 credit for roughly every 30 pages (15,000 words).
- AI proofreading, if you turn it on: 1 more credit for roughly every 15 pages (7,500 words), only for the text it proofreads.
- For example, a 30-page paper costs 1 credit with formatting only, or 3 (1 + 2) with AI.
- Creating a document from a template: 1 credit.
- Converting between Word and PDF, analyzing templates and editing don’t use credits. Exporting from the editor costs the same as formatting.
- When you create your account you get 10 welcome credits to use within 7 days.
- On the Free plan you get 3 credits every Monday; whatever is left from the week doesn’t roll over.
- Basic comes with 60 credits a month and Pro with 150; they’re renewed every month, on the yearly plan too.
