Groundery vs Trusul

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.

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.
