FAQ

Essay outline questions

What does the outline include?
A draft thesis statement, an introduction with a hook and context, three body sections with specific talking points tailored to your essay type, and a conclusion. Pro expands this to a 10-section deep outline with citation placeholders.
Does the structure change by essay type?
Yes. An argumentative outline includes a counter-argument and rebuttal; compare-contrast organises by criteria; cause-effect separates causes from effects; narrative follows a story arc. Each type uses the structure teachers expect.
Is using an outline generator cheating?
No — an outline is a planning aid, like a teacher's template. You still research, think and write the essay yourself. It simply helps you organise your ideas faster.
How many outlines can I generate?
Anonymous users get 3 outlines a day; a free account makes basic outlines unlimited; Pro unlocks deep 10-section outlines with citations and research mode.
Is my topic stored?
No — outlines are generated in your browser and nothing is saved.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, the form and outline stack cleanly on phones.
