I believe the accuracy can be improved in the newer versions. Review Source Christian S.

Copyleaks does an excellent job as a plagiarism checker and is really easy to use. I highly recommend! Pros I have been a professional writer: a blogger, book author, and freelance writer the last year and have used Copyleaks extensively for checking plagiarism. They do a very thorough check from multiple websites to make sure you pass any plagiarism checks. Copyleaks also has a great online staff that is easy to contact if you have any issues or would like to set up some type of affiliate program. Cons Well, I wish it had a longer trial period but it's cool that you don't need a subscription because there is a point-based system for use. Review Source GA Gabriel A.

Cons Copyleaks, lacks reliability and should not be marketed as an "AI" detector. When a story summary exhibits close similarities, Copyleaks erroneously labels it as "AI," whereas it more accurately falls within the realm of unintentional plagiarism. Claiming to be "reliable" and "trustworthy" is deceptive advertising, misrepresenting the tool's true capabilities and accuracy.

March 16, 2020 5.0 I'd recommend having this tool in your arsenal if you publish any type of written content. This is a cool monitoring tool. I'm glad I found it. Pros This is a great tool for writers who publish online! It was so easy to use. As a writer, sometimes I need to double-check where my content is online. And I sometimes need to track where a client has published work that did for them for analytics purposes. This software was easy to use and only costs 10 bucks a month! Cons Right now, I'm not seeing any drawbacks with this software. That may or may not change as I begin to use it more.

Student Biotechnology Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great help! " January 3, 2020 5.0 Copyleaks is a game changer for any student or business. You no longer need to worry about the originality of your paper. This site is different in that I feel Copyleaks is actually pulling in as many sources as it can to compare your paper against. I feel secure in knowing my paper has been double checked with Copyleaks. Pros This software is really simple to use and the results are really fast. It's also nice that you can enter different types of files and there is a mobile app. This software is super helpful for students who want to make sure their papers are original as can be. Cons The pricing is a little steep for college students that want to check maybe 1 or 2 papers a month. A student price would be helpful. Review Source JW James W.

Pros I like that this service allows me to check my college assignments for plagiarism before I turn them in so I can make any corrections necessary to avoid this. College instructors take plagiarism very seriously so it is of the utmost importance to me to make sure my college papers are free from any plagiarized work. Cons There really isn’t any downside to this software or service as far as I can see.
