Free AI detector comparison
How do free AI detectors compare?
Most free AI detectors check one thing: images, or text, or audio. This page says plainly what each kind checks, what stays free, and what we do and do not cover, so you can pick the right tool for the thing in front of you.
- Free, no sign-up
- We don't keep your files
- Most checks finish in under a minute
What we check, free
Find the AI checks photos, videos and public links from twelve platforms, free and without an account: five checks a day, ten if you add an email. Every verdict comes with reasons: the file labels and signed records, and what the picture itself shows.
Pro is six dollars ninety-nine a month for a thousand checks, with no daily cap, and a fifty-check pack is four dollars ninety-nine with no subscription.
What other free tools check that we do not
Text detectors score writing: whether an essay, article or email was written by AI. Tools such as Turnitin, Grammarly and Scribbr are built for that, and we are not: our detector judges pixels, so we do not score paragraphs.
Audio detectors judge voices and music. AI or Not checks audio; we do not yet. If your question is about a voice or a song, use a tool that checks audio, and use us for the picture.
How to judge any detector
A detector is only as good as what it publishes. Look for test results with the number of files behind each rate, a false-alarm rate on real files, and the reasons behind a verdict, not just a score.
We publish all three on our accuracy page, by generator, with the false-alarm rate and the number of files. Where we fail, the page says so.
What this page does not claim
We do not rank ourselves first. Other tools do things we do not, such as text and audio, and they may suit you better for those.
Prices for other tools were read on their public pages on October 31, 2026: AI or Not showed five dollars of free credits, and Is It AI showed plans from one dollar ninety-nine a month. Check them before you buy, since free tiers change.

Which free AI detector is best?
The one that checks the thing you have. We are built for photos, videos and links; text detectors are built for writing; audio tools for voices and music. Compare published test results rather than a single score.
Is Find the AI free?
Yes. Five checks a day without an account, ten if you add an email, videos and links included. Pro is six dollars ninety-nine a month for a thousand checks with no daily cap, and a fifty-check pack is four dollars ninety-nine.
Does it check text?
No. Our detector judges pixels, so it checks photos and videos, not paragraphs. For writing, use a text detector such as Turnitin, Grammarly or Scribbr.
Does it check audio?
Not yet. AI or Not checks audio today; we judge pictures. Voice checks are on the roadmap.
How accurate is it?
Our accuracy page gives the catch rate for AI files and the false-alarm rate for real ones, by generator, with the number of files behind each number. We quote every rate with its n and the date, so you can judge it. See the test results
