Why Plag Detect

A report you can actually defend.

Most detectors give you a number. We give you the receipts — every match, every source, every paragraph of suspected AI text, with the exact spans highlighted.

Span-level highlighting

See the precise words that matched a source — not just a paragraph-level guess. Click any badge to jump to the source it came from.

AI detection with context

Separates AI-generated text from AI-paraphrased rewrites. Get the breakdown by paragraph, not just an overall percentage.

Reports in minutes, not hours

Median scan finishes in 3 minutes. You get an email and an in-dashboard notification the moment your report is ready.

Your document, your control

Uploads are encrypted in transit and at rest, never added to any public similarity index, and deletable from your dashboard at any time.

No subscriptions, ever

Buy a small credit pack, use it when you need it. Credits don’t expire for 30 days and unused credits roll over with each new purchase.

Real humans on support

Every email is answered by a person, usually within a few hours. No bots, no canned templates, no “please wait 5–7 business days.”

How it works

Three steps. One clean report.

No setup, no plugins, no chasing API keys. Sign up, upload, download.

Sample report

Every match, mapped to a source.

The report you download is the same one your reviewer would see — same scoring methodology, same source typing, same highlights. No watered-down preview version.

  • Source-typed badges — Internet, Publication, or Student paper, color-coded throughout the doc.
  • Match groups — cited vs. uncited, quoted vs. unquoted, with counts.
  • AI breakdown — AI-generated only vs. AI-paraphrased, paragraph by paragraph.
  • Filter controls — exclude bibliographies, quotations, or short matches before you run.

“Modern monetary policy in the post-2008 era has been characterized by unprecedented expansion of central bank balance sheets, with combined holdings exceeding historical norms by a wide margin. Quantitative easing, originally conceived as an emergency measure, became a standing instrument of policy across major economies. As universities and editorial boards have noted, the long-run implications remain contested.”

How we compare

Built differently from the rest.

Most detection tools were built for institutions, not the people actually writing. Plag Detect flips that.

What customers say

Trusted by people who can’t afford to be wrong.

Students staking their grades, editors staking their reputation, and writers staking their next contract.

Ran my dissertation through three different tools before submitting. Plag Detect caught two paraphrased passages the others missed entirely. Re-wrote them, defended without a single integrity question.

MR
Maya R.
PhD candidate · United Kingdom

I edit roughly forty manuscripts a month. The AI breakdown alone saves me hours per book — I know exactly which chapters to push back on before sending the editorial letter. It pays for itself on a single project.

DA
Daniel A.
Freelance editor · Australia

No subscription is the whole reason I switched. I scan four or five papers a semester, not forty. Buying ten credits and forgetting about it until next year is exactly the right shape of product for me.

AP
Ananya P.
Master’s student · Singapore

My students get the report straight to their dashboard and can see exactly which sentences to revise. It’s the first plagiarism tool I’ve used that actually teaches them, instead of just punishing them.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Still curious? Email support@plagdetect.org and we’ll get back within one business day.

How long does a scan take?

Median scan completes in 3 minutes. Longer documents (50+ pages) can take 5–10 minutes. You’ll get an email and a dashboard notification the moment your report is ready.

Will my document be added to any database?

No. Your document is processed for the scan only and is never added to any public similarity index, never used to train models, and never shared with third parties. You can delete the file from your dashboard at any time.

How accurate is the AI detection?

Our AI detection benchmarks at 96%+ accuracy on long-form human prose and 94%+ on GPT-4-class output. Scores below 20% are reported with an asterisk because they carry a meaningfully higher false-positive rate — we tell you when to take a score at face value and when not to.

Do credits expire?

Credits are valid for 30 days from purchase. If you buy more before yours expire, the new pack extends the expiry on your full balance. No use-it-or-lose-it monthly resets.

What file types are supported?

Microsoft Word (.docx, .doc), PDF, plain text (.txt), and rich text (.rtf), up to 50 MB per file. Scanned PDFs are OCR’d automatically.

Can I get a refund?

Credits are delivered instantly, so all sales are final once credits are added to your account. We do honour refunds for duplicate charges, failed deliveries, and a handful of other documented exceptions — see our Refund Policy for specifics.

Is this the same as Turnitin?

No. We’re an independent service. Our reports are designed for individual writers who want to verify their own work before submission — not for institutions enforcing policy.

Do you offer API access?

Yes. API access is available on request for verified accounts. Contact us with your use case and we’ll get you set up.
