How real students use PERRLA

Writers at every level use PERRLA to handle their formatting – here are a few examples
Tackling papers as an undergraduate student

Emma's a nursing student who's just finished  Nurse Practitioner's school. PERRLA helped her through her program with flying colors! She says, "...[PERRLA] really contributed to my quality of life during school because I was able to focus less on the nuances [of formatting] and more on the content!" Whether crafting a research paper or just a weekly discussion post, PERRLA helped her through all her assignments.

Academic writing & manuscripts in grad school

Melinda is pursuing her doctorate & has used PERRLA for over four years. There's not a better way to put it than in her own words: "I used to struggle with formatting citations and keeping references organized...but ever since I started using PERRLA, that stress is completely gone! It's not just a citation tool – it's a full writing system that makes drafting manuscripts that are APA & MLA compliant so easy!"

Professional-level writing

Elizabeth, a graduate student & twice published author used PERRLA throughout her graduate program. She even used PERRLA to help her draft & manage citations in both of her books. She especially loves the PERRLA Reference Library because it saves all of her references & notes for future writing. "I can't speak highly enough about PERRLA! I tell all my clients and fellow students about the power of PERRLA." She relies on PERRLA to keep her material organized and ready to use for all her writing.

Your writing questions, answered fast.

PERRLA makes for smooth, stress-free writing. Find answers to our most-asked questions below.

Which plan should I pick?

Match the plan to how long you'll be in school. Monthly ($12.95) is great if you want to test PERRLA on one or two papers. The 1-year plan ($79.95) saves you 50% versus monthly and works for full-time semester students. The 2-year plan ($129.95) is the best value if you're heading into a graduate program – it works out to about $5 a month.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Monthly is month-to-month with no cancellation penalty. For questions about cancelling annual or 2-year plans, contact support@perrla.com and the team will walk you through it.

Are there any hidden fees, setup costs, or required add-ons?

None. The price you see is the price you pay – every plan includes full access to every PERRLA feature, every supported style, and every platform we work in (Word, PERRLA Online, Google Docs, Chrome extension).

Do you offer student, military, or institutional discounts?

Yes to all three. We offer a 50% discount for active military and veterans – contact support@perrla.com to claim it. Schools and nursing programs can license PERRLA at $9.95 per student per year, with free lifetime access for faculty and staff. If you're at a community college or completing an associate degree, you may qualify for a free PERRLA plan – ask your school or our Support Team.
