Crowdee vs Veritier

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.

Veritier extracts checkable claims from text, URLs, PDFs, and images, then compares them with live web evidence or private references. Results provide a verdict, confidence score, plain-language explanation, and source links. The service is available through a REST API, MCP server over Streamable HTTP, local stdio proxy, and browser interface, with parsing and OCR built into its pipeline. The attest_action endpoint checks named records such as npm, PyPI, CourtListener, SEC EDGAR, and the U.S. Code, blocking actions when records cannot be confirmed. Attestations create Ed25519-signed Claim Credentials that can be checked through JWKS and revoked; credentials remain for 400 days. Requests can use webhooks and signed retries. Free-tier text may be retained and used to improve models, while paid-tier payloads are processed ephemerally and excluded from foundation-model training. The free tier allows 25 verifications monthly; paid plans start at $19.99 a month. Verdicts and confidence scores are probabilistic.
