The definitive list
1. Skyline Academic
Have you ever hoped for a plagiarism checker that could identify AI-generated content, offer insightful reports, and be easily accessible? Please welcome Skyline’s plagiarism checker. Its advanced algorithm which has been a decade in the making, can easily detect plagiarized and AI-generated content across over 100 languages with a 99% accuracy rate.
A standout feature is its ability to detect AI-generated content with a false positive rate of just 0.2% – the lowest in the industry from various LLMs such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Bard, Jasper, and others. It also takes things a step further as it can accurately spot AI-generated text even if it is carefully mixed with human writing.
But my favorite feature is its ability to offer insightful interactive reports on its dashboard categorizing plagiarism into four categories offering users detailed feedback about the originality of work, and highlighting areas for improvement.
It also comes with easy accessibility as students and educators alike can generate a detailed originality report in a few moments using the internet making it a go-to as a plagiarism checker
Sure, Skyline is our product but my claims have also been backed by independent research. The results of a recent independent research have been outlined below.

2. Turnitin
Turnitin is one of the best plagiarism checkers and has been a dominant force as a plagiarism detection tool over the last decade. It’s quite commonly used in academic institutions because it can effectively detect plagiarized content across a vast database of student papers it has built over the years.
Turnitin also integrates seamlessly with Learning Management Systems allowing plagiarism reports to be generated automatically once a student submits an assignment, making it easier for instructors to check for instances of plagiarism.
But Turnitin still has to make progress to detect AI-generated as concerns have been raised about its accuracy by experts. Another downside to Turnitin is that it only offers its plagiarism detection technology to educational institutes which means students have no direct access to the plagiarism detection tool like other plagiarism checkers in the industry.
