Pricing
We do not reprint prices. They change too often for that to be honest, and a number on our page with no date is worse than sending you to the source.
How we rated it
What it is
Detection of AI-generated text and plagiarism, aimed at publishers and agencies checking work they commissioned.
Who it is for
Anyone paying for writing who wants to know how it was produced.
Where it is strongest
Checking commissioned work. Not because generated text is always wrong, but because you should know what you paid for.
Where it falls short
AI detection is unreliable in both directions, and false positives land on real writers — particularly non-native speakers, who are flagged disproportionately. Treating a score as proof is unfair and has caused real damage elsewhere.
Our verdict
Recommended only as a prompt to have a conversation, never as evidence. Accusing a writer on the strength of a score is a mistake with a bad track record.
