ForgeSpy vs Tayanch

ForgeSpy checks uploaded media and social-media links for AI-generated content, deepfakes, and cloned audio. Image checks use multiple vision models and return a verdict with an AI probability score from 0–100%. Direct image uploads support JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF. For supported social video links, the service downloads and samples frames, then provides separate visual and audio confidence scores. Its deepfake layer examines facial geometry, consistency over time, and blending artifacts to flag face swaps and identity manipulation. Audio checks look for voice cloning, text-to-speech, and AI-generated narration through spectral patterns, prosody, and acoustic artifacts. The site names Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook as supported link services. ForgeSpy is available on the web, iOS, and Android. Signing up gives five free credits without a credit card; the Free plan costs nothing, with one credit per image scan and one credit per five seconds of video. Mobile users can revisit check history and export or share reports. Detection results are estimates and should be weighed with source, context, and other verification methods.

Tayanch analyzes images and video to assess whether media is real, AI-generated, or uncertain, and returns probability and confidence information. Image checks can identify fully generated pictures and use a heat map to locate AI edits in a real photo. Video analysis covers face manipulation and provides a frame-level advisory for generated footage. Audio analysis for voice clones and synthetic speech is under maintenance and coming soon. Ambiguous or heavily processed media can receive an uncertain verdict rather than a forced classification. Detection combines vision-transformer embeddings with camera-physics and compression checks, while Content Credentials and generator markers are checked first. Its REST API uses HTTPS, JSON responses, and API-key authentication through the X-API-Key header; it accepts files and media links. A free API key includes 100 checks and allows 30 requests per minute without a card. Image checks cost $0.01 as a one-time purchase, and video checks cost $0.08 as a one-time purchase. Tayanch says submitted media is analyzed in memory, discarded after the verdict, and not used for training. It cautions that results are probabilistic evidence, not a sole basis for accusations or consequential action. The self-serve API has no SLA; an SLA is available only through a signed enterprise agreement.
