FAXTR vs Trusul

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.

Trusul is a web tool for analyzing claims, comparing news coverage, asking about current events and reviewing cited evidence. Its analyzer examines credibility signals in claims, articles, messages and public URLs, including sensational wording, emotional pressure, clickbait, all-caps patterns and forceful punctuation. Reports combine a credibility score, risk verdict, explanation, evidence breakdown, warnings, missing information, limitations and cited sources. The site describes its 0–100 score as a composite drawn from three independent signals.

Compare Coverage places two reports or pieces of content side by side; differences are prompts to investigate, not proof on their own. Ask Trusul answers current-news questions in English using available citations and notes evidence and coverage limitations. For this feature, users can upload PNG, JPEG, WebP, PDF, DOCX or TXT files up to 5 MiB, processed temporarily for the request. Optional claim-verification queries may send short excerpts to Google Fact Check Tools API or NewsData.io. Plans include a free option, monthly subscriptions and one-time analysis credits, though some subscriptions and credit packs are listed as opening soon. Trusul describes itself as decision support, not a fact-checking authority.
