You pay for one tool. The rest cost us nothing to run.
Image, video, voice, music and text detection all execute in your browser, so they stay free and unmetered on every plan. The plagiarism checker has to search the live web, which costs real money per check — that is the part a plan buys.
The first fifty checks need no account at all.

Why only one of the six is metered
Most detection tools charge for everything because a server somewhere loads a model into memory, receives your file, runs an inference and sends a number back. Every one of those steps has a bill attached. Once that is the shape of the product, a usage meter is not greed — it is arithmetic.
Five of our six tools are built the other way round. The model, the runtime and the whole analysis are downloaded to your browser on first use and run there. The marginal cost of your hundredth image check is the same as your first: nothing. So metering them would be theatre, and they stay unlimited on every paid plan.
The plagiarism checker cannot work that way. Finding out whether a sentence exists somewhere on the internet means asking an index of the internet, and nobody indexes the web for free. A thousand-word document costs us about thirty-eight searches. That is the bill a plan pays, and it is the only one.
It also settles the privacy question without asking to be trusted. Your images, video and audio are never transmitted — there is no upload endpoint for them. Open your network tab during a check and you can confirm that in about ten seconds, which beats a sentence in a policy. The plagiarism checker is the exception and says so plainly: text has to leave the browser to be searched against the web.
Detection stays free. The score, the passage map, the Content Credentials check and both export formats are the product, not a sample of it. A better model, when one arrives, reaches the free tier first.
Your files stay on your device. No paid feature becomes a reason to start uploading pictures, video or audio. Shareable links already show the pattern: the analysis travels inside the link and the file never moves.
The free tier keeps working. Free plagiarism checks search a real index and return real sources. It is a narrower index than the paid one, and the result tells you so every time rather than letting a low percentage read as a clean bill of health.
Against the usual free web checker
Most free AI image detector sites follow one pattern: take the upload, return a percentage, ask for an email before showing the rest. Row by row, here is what that approach leaves on the table.
| Capability | Original or AI | Typical free checker |
|---|---|---|
| Runs on your device, nothing transmitted | Yes | No Your file goes to a server |
| Finds a generated patch inside a real photo | Yes | No Whole frame only |
| Tile-by-tile map with individual scores | Yes up to 9 | No |
| Bands and decision line published | Yes | Partly A number, no thresholds |
| C2PA Content Credentials verified | Yes signing chain | No |
| Whole batch in one pass | Yes 25 files | Partly Usually one at a time |
| Printable PDF report | Yes | No |
| Machine-readable JSON export | Yes | No |
| Reads HEIC, AVIF and TIFF | Yes | Partly JPG and PNG only |
| Accuracy figures and failure modes stated | Yes | No |
| Daily allowance without paying | Yes 50 a day | Partly 10–20 in total |
| Usable without an account | Yes | No Sign up to see the result |
| Result link that carries no picture | Yes | No Hosted on their server |
| Works offline after the first load | Yes model is cached | No |
“Typical free checker” describes the pattern shared by the free web tools we have used, not any single named product. Individual tools differ, and the honest comparison is with the category rather than with a competitor picked to lose.
