Question 1

How does this plagiarism checker work?

Accepted Answer

We sample sentences from your text and search for each one as an exact phrase on the live web. If a sentence returns a strong match, we flag it and link to the source so you can review it yourself.

Question 2

Is this as thorough as paid tools like Turnitin or Copyscape?

Accepted Answer

No — this is a quick web-match scan, not an exhaustive database search. Paid tools compare against massive indexed databases of academic papers, books, and websites. We check a sample of your sentences against live search results, which catches obvious copying but is not a substitute for institutional-grade plagiarism detection.

Question 3

Why are only some sentences checked?

Accepted Answer

To keep this tool free, we sample a handful of sentences spread across your text rather than checking every single one — this conserves search capacity while still giving you a useful signal.

Question 4

Is it free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — up to 500 words per check without an account, or 2,000 words with a free account.

Question 5

Does it store my text?

Accepted Answer

No. Text is processed in real time for the scan and is not stored afterward.
