PlagiarismSearch is a web-based plagiarism checker for students, educators, writers, bloggers, and organizations. It compares submitted content with live and archived web pages, publications, academic papers, and private storage when enabled. Reports show matching passages, similarity percentages, and source links. The service accepts multiple document and text formats and includes related AI detection, readability, spell-checking, paper-analysis, Google Docs, Telegram, and Viber features.
Its main strength is report flexibility and source coverage. Users can export results as PDF or HTML, filter references, citations, URLs, and self-plagiarism, and review detected matches through source links. The platform also connects with Moodle and Google Docs, while Telegram and Viber bots provide additional checking access. For organizations or developers, the RESTful asynchronous API is available, with API access specifically highlighted in the Standard Monthly plan. These options make the product a practical fit for workflows that need more than a single browser-based report.
Pricing ranges from free checking to one-time and recurring packages. The Light plan costs $9.95 one time for 1 plagiarism submission, 1 AI submission, and an unlimited time frame. Light Monthly costs $22.95 per month for 100 plagiarism submissions over 30 days; Standard Monthly costs $34.95 per month for 300 submissions, API access, and a 30-day time frame; Light Yearly costs $114.95 per year for 1,000 submissions over 365 days. PlagiarismSearch suits buyers prioritizing source breadth, filtering, downloadable reports, and integrations. Buyers needing high volume immediately may prefer a plan beyond Light, while casual users can start with the free option.
