Fact Checking App vs Factward

Fact Checking App is a paid web platform for media, education and platform teams working with short-form video. It is designed to check videos at scale on a customer’s own domain and in that customer’s voice. The service describes a multi-source verification pipeline and provides transparent provenance for each claim. Customers can apply their branding, tone and domain, with the company saying a white-label service can launch in days. The website describes GDPR-aligned data handling, region-aware infrastructure and user controls. Its privacy policy identifies Share The Truth Ltd. Personal information is generally retained for six years after a contract ends, while automated browsing information is generally kept for up to 14 months. Personal information may be transferred outside the UK, generally to the US, under stated legal mechanisms. AI-generated reports may be inaccurate and are not intended for important decisions. Pricing is on request.

Factward checks text, URLs, and PDFs by identifying factual claims and comparing them with web sources. Its AI model filters out opinions, predictions, and subjective statements, then retrieves up to five independent sources for each claim. Reports classify claims as Supported, Conflicting Sources, Refuted, or Insufficient Evidence, and include confidence, reasoning, linked sources, and a Trust Score. The service tracks when claims may have become stale and prompts users to check them again. A bookmarklet can send article text for review, and the Pro API can be used in a CMS or publishing pipeline. A beta Chrome extension highlights claims alongside verdicts and evidence, including when checking selected text from its context menu. Factward says submissions are used to produce results and are not sold or shared with third parties, though jobs and reports are stored in its database. Niche, paywalled, or very recent claims may lack evidence, and nuanced claims can be misinterpreted. The free plan allows two verifications per day; Pro costs $9 a month.
