Crowdee vs FAXTR

Crowdee is a content-verification platform for checking articles, social posts, images, audio, video, documents, URLs and claims. It combines automated triage with access to more than 1 million screened crowd workers, who can provide independent verdicts, reviewer agreement and written reasoning. Its 14 pipelines cover media, text and documents, social and web context, identity and multi-file checks; automation, APIs and scheduled pipelines support different workflows. Evidence and reviewer feedback can be exported in a PDF dossier for editorial or legal review. Pay-as-you-go and higher plans include a REST API. The free plan allows one image check per IP address every 24 hours, with uploads up to 10 MB. Pay-as-you-go costs €0.05, paid once, with no commitment. Managed Campaigns and Enterprise use custom pricing. Crowdee lists hosting on dedicated servers in German data centres, with automation hardware in Berlin, and says customer content is not used to train foundation models. It is aimed at newsrooms, compliance teams and AI researchers.

FAXTR is a fact-checking platform for reviewing claims, headlines, articles, article URLs, and LLM-generated text. It aggregates verdicts from more than 100 fact-checking organizations across more than 50 countries, rather than making its own final judgment on whether a claim is true or false. Visitors can make three checks without signing up; signing up provides more checks and history. FAXTR says it gathers data from the Google Fact Check Tools API and Google News RSS three times daily. For integrations, it offers a REST API with JSON responses at https://api.faxtr.com/v1. Verification endpoints are in private beta and require access; the API also includes a /v1/guard endpoint for scanning LLM responses for misinformation. FAXTR Verified records source and receipt details, source-text and debunk matches, and a published SHA-256 fingerprint of an article body. Publishers add it with one server-rendered link per article, without JavaScript or a runtime dependency on FAXTR. The Free plan is free, billed monthly; Starter is $49 a month.
