FactVerify vs FAXTR

FactVerify is a web-based service that automatically checks claims, viral posts, breaking headlines, articles, webpages and documents. It returns an evidence summary, confidence percentage and linked sources. Its four-stage process identifies a testable proposition, uses primary records, examines context and counter-evidence, then produces a calibrated verdict. The retrieval engine can parse court dockets, statutory texts, peer-reviewed journals and agency datasets; listed primary sources also include SEC filings and government datasets. Confidence percentages describe the coherence and corroboration available when analysis runs, not mathematical certainty. Accounts include five automated checks each month, while the homepage offers one check without an account. Real-time checks are private by default and are not indexed by search engines. Selected checks enter a public library with ClaimReview schema, permanent audit links and freshness tracking. FactVerify notes that automated models can miss temporal nuance, sarcasm, complex statutory references or breaking developments, and says the service is informational rather than legal, medical, financial, tax or investment advice.

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.
