FAXTR vs Groundery

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.

Groundery extracts factual claims from live or recorded material and checks them against sources chosen for each session. Live inputs include a microphone, a browser tab playing audio, or a stream URL such as YouTube Live, Twitch, or Vimeo. The site says live results usually arrive while the speaker remains on the same topic, ranging from seconds to about a minute depending on the evidence. For recordings, it accepts MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, YouTube links, or pasted transcripts. Claims are timestamped so reviewers can revisit the relevant moment, inspect evidence, and share or export reports. Source controls can search the web, limit checks to selected sites, or exclude sites. Groundery says it prioritizes authoritative sources and provides direct links for review. It is available on the web and as a Chrome extension. The Free plan includes 3 hours of fact-checking and 10 instant text checks per month; Pro costs $599 a month. Its terms warn that AI-generated results may be inaccurate or incomplete and are informational aids, not definitive judgments. Uploaded content and results remain until deleted or the account closes, with backups potentially persisting for up to 30 days after deletion.
