Avancer Document Fact-Checker vs Scrutinly

Avancer Document Fact-Checker extracts factual claims from PDF documents and checks them against live web sources. Each claim receives a verified, unverified, or source-not-found verdict, along with evidence and a confidence score. The service checks for factual errors, fabricated citations, and misinformation, and estimates how much of a document was written by AI. Its page estimates about 20 seconds of scanning per 1,000 words. Documents can be checked through the web service, self-hosted options, or an API that accepts a document URL or raw text and returns claim-level results with evidence and sources. Claim extraction and verification are listed for more than 70 languages. Files are processed for the scan and deleted afterward; documents are not used to train models or shared. A free plan includes one scan. Basic costs $12.99 per month and includes 1,299 monthly credits, text scanning, API and webhook access, email support, and PDF report export. A seven-day trial is listed. The maker also lists SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance, with ISO 27001 in progress.

Scrutinly is a web-based fact-checking service for articles, claims, URLs, social posts, and images. It extracts checkable statements from supplied text and evaluates each against current web sources. URL checking fetches the article directly, avoiding manual copying. Results classify claims as Supported, Unsupported, Mixed, or Satirical and provide links to the sources used. A stacked bar summarizes the proportions of Supported, Unsupported, and Mixed claims in a check. Image analysis is in beta: it estimates signs of AI generation or changed context, then gives a probability score and explanation; the service warns that these evaluations may be unreliable. Results remain in search history, and identical content can reuse cached output without consuming tokens. Security features listed by the site include two-factor authentication, PBKDF2 password hashing, and JWT sessions; searches are private to each account and not sold or shared. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 150,000 tokens. Pro costs $12 a month, while Max costs $49 a month.
