FactGuard vs Stipple

FactGuard checks claims, headlines, or URLs and returns a verdict with reasoning and cited sources. It offers Quick, Thorough, and Private verification modes, with a confidence score from 0 to 100 and analysis of framing and potential bias. The web app limits submissions to 1,000 characters; its free tier uses Quick mode and displays the 30 most recent checks. The free plan costs nothing, billed forever, and includes three checks per day. Pro includes unlimited checks and history, Thorough verification, all modes, shareable verdict cards, and bulk export, but its listed plans are marked coming soon. FactGuard also describes an early-access MCP server and a Fact-Check API with a stated free tier of 100 calls per day; API access and team pricing are under development. The privacy policy says claims sent to the backend are not stored per user on FactGuard's servers. Optional on-device verification is not transmitted to FactGuard or third-party processing providers. FactGuard cautions that automated verdicts can be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date and advises checking cited sources.

Stipple helps suppliers find Australian and New Zealand tenders and prepare bid responses using company evidence they already have. Suppliers can enter a company website to rank open opportunities by fit, with reasons and gaps shown alongside each match. Stipple notes that a fit score is not a probability of winning. Its search registry covers AusTender, GrantConnect, NZ GETS, state and territory portals, VendorPanel, and council, university, and health buyers. For response preparation, Stipple organizes tender requirements with source-page references, matches them to supplier documents, and drafts responses for review and editing. A person reviews each line before a draft is sent, and Stipple does not send responses to buyers. The service offers a REST API and hosted MCP server, plus document tools including text detection, citation checking, field extraction, identity checks, and PII redaction. Free document checking allows 20 checks weekly without an account or 100 with one. The free tender search and matching plan is free; response preparation has no listed price and is agreed before work starts.
