What Hive Moderation does well
Strong on AI image detection, with an enterprise moderation API behind it.
Where it falls short
Text detection is secondary to its image and video work.
The verdict
Pick it for images. For prose there are better-focused options.
Where TextAsMe differs
Every tool above returns a score or a rewrite and stops. TextAsMe marks each sentence, names the signal that fired on it, metronome rhythm, low perplexity, dead metaphor, stock transition, no concrete detail, and rewrites toward a measurement of your own writing rather than a generic human average. The writing analysis and your Style DNA run in your browser, and the text you check for a real AI score is never stored.
Hive alternatives are GPTZero, Pangram, Copyleaks and TextAsMe.
TextAsMe scans for free with no account and no word cap, showing every flagged sentence and why. The studio and humanizer are paid, $9 a month (Starter), $18.50 (Pro) or $50 (Elite), half price billed yearly. GPTZero also has a free tier.
