Spec score 7.7 #15 of 27 in AI Content Moderation Software

What it is

Moderation API is a content moderation service that combines an API with a review platform for text, images, video and audio. It supports more than 120 languages and offers over 20 pre-built detection models for issues such as toxicity, personal information, spam, self-harm, scams and hate speech. Teams can describe their own moderation rules in plain language; models apply them with explanations and confidence scores. Review queues and author moderation support human decisions, and the product says team reviews help train its AI. It also considers conversation history when assessing a message. The service lists integrations with tools including Discord, Airtable, Shopify, WordPress and Zapier, plus server-side SDKs for TypeScript/Node.js, Python, PHP and Ruby. A free Hobby plan includes 100 messages per month; Basic is $79 a month. Usage units depend on media: text costs one unit, audio two, images three, while video starts at three and varies with length and enabled models. The maker says content is not stored or accessed by people.
