Factward vs Stipple

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.

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.
