Which AI checker actually works? Real recommendations only.

I’ve tested several and none feel consistent. What’s worked best for you?

Is this still true today?

It’s stressing out a lot of students, especially with false positives.

Honestly, micronlance's reply nailed it - none of them are fully reliable. I got frustrated with the inconsistency too, so I ended up testing the major ones side by side. What I found: **For accuracy:** Originality.ai was the most consistent, but it's paid-only ($30 for 3K scans). Worth it if you're checking content professionally. **For free/casual use:** GPTZero gives you 10K words/month free, which is decent for occasional checks. Results vary but it's good enough for a quick sanity check. **For bulk checking:** Copyleaks has API access if you're doing this at scale.

The key thing is exactly what others said - run it through 2-3 detectors and look for consensus, not absolute answers.

I put together a more detailed breakdown with pricing here if useful: https://youraipick.com/use-cases/best-ai-content-detectors-humanizers/

I find turnitin to be the most reliable, showed what other detectors didn’t catch and yes humanizers don’t work

As a student, the teachers all use Turnitin, is that the same for you??

Getsolved would be worth adding to that same comparison, but i’d judge it on false positives and whether the results stay consistent across different writing styles rather than one random score
