One of the worst plagiarism checkers One of the worst plagiarism checkers. First off, they are so expensive. They call it as free but when you try to use it, it doesn't show anything. Secondly it would even show references as plagiarized. How is it possible?

I pay for this service as a student I pay for this service as a student. Numerous times it ignores my footnotes/citations and still reports my text as plagiarized. This is a huge problem. Second, the service does not recognize references although it shows a category for references This web service is taken as gospel by universities yet has issues that create problems for students.

Great plagiarism checker! Great plagiarism checker! I have been using the free version of Unicheck for about 4 months and have loved how accurate it has been. You get to check 500 words each time and I think 4-5 times before it cuts you off and offers you to upgrade. You can choose to purchase one of their options or wait 2 - 3 hours before you can use the free version again. I just saw that there is an option to buy the individual version and you can choose the amount of pages you will actually use. The first option is 20 pages for $5 which isn't too bad. I'm thinking about how many pages I actually want to buy. I think 100 pages for $15 is a great deal so I think that'll be the one I go with.

The software was used by my university The software was used by my university, and claimed that I had plagiarized 31% of a paper. I wrote my paper from scratch, and even demonstrated to my teacher where I found my information and how it was dissimilar from the wording of my paper. This is the only plagiarism checker that checks against the web and gave a false positive on the same paper. It claims to be free for students but it isn't unless your teacher sets up an account for you. As more papers get put into their system and online there is a greater and greater chance that it will falsely accuse of plagiarism.

Probably Great, If All of Your Sources Are Websites Hey, this service is probably great, if all of your sources are websites. Since you can't try out the service before sinking money into it, you will spend some to find out whether it works for you. For me, it miss-identified a basic McLuhan citation, and failed to recognize any in text citations from book sources in the Chicago Full-Note format. It even suggested, the title of an in-text citation to be plagiarism. The thing is, with a limited number of pricey tries, the amount of iterations to figure out how to get a decent result should not be put on the user! Particularly, with plagiarism testing, the tool should hopefully over-and not underreport, but by not recognizing any book publication prior to 2010, this seems like a big risk. It honestly seems like you are paying for a very baseline service, a sort of feelgood expenditure. While the support responded quickly and kindly, apparently not providing refunds is part of their business model. I am genuinely curious why this software has so many good reviews here. Edit: I just read some more reviews, and I am not sure why, but most of them are one- or two-liners from the 20th to the 30th May 2020. That is a little odd, and maybe presents something for Trustpilot to look into.
