Publishes stronger accuracy claims than the incumbents and converts 1,760 keywords into 499,852 US visits a month, the best traffic-per-keyword ratio of any detector measured.
Where it falls short
Newer, with less independent verification, and no writer-facing guidance at all.
The verdict
Worth watching. Accuracy claims in this category have a short shelf life, so verify against your own material before standardising on it.
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.
