Instead of just charging per document, they charge per 200 words and then 100 words after. This is something new they just implemented. > > Copyscape is very useful for content writing and checking to see if the content is 100% original. ----- ### "Copyscape is a great plagiarism tool" — 5.0/5 > **Kristen** | *26 March 2025* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Copyscape to check for plagiarism on my articles > > **Cons**: I love Copyscape and have not experienced anything negative > > Copyscape is very affordable and very useful in the business that I do. I have been using it for over 10 years. ----- ### "First Time User" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 March 2020* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: So, this is my first time using plagiarism software. Copyscape is pretty simple to use and I didn't need to search a Youtube tutorial for how to navigate. > > **Cons**: For the free version, you'll need text to compare your work to in order to use it, which is a bummer. If you want to search the web to see if anyone has ripped you off, you have to pay for Copyscape premium. > > Not bad. I think the paid version is where the value would be, but still not a bad experience overall. ----- ### "The Best Solution to Ensure 100% Original Content" — 5.0/5 > **Mihaela** | *20 December 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the affordable price, the ease of use, and the accuracy of the results provided. It doesn't trigger false alerts and doesn't highlight common keyword combinations like other tools do. I also like the fact that it asks for confirmation when reviewing texts longer than 2000 words, making it easy to keep costs under control and avoid accidents, like wanting to check one chapter and copying and pasting an entire book. > > **Cons**: I don't think it's Copyscape's fault and I don't know if there's anything they can do about it but, sometimes, when it finds duplicate content on several websites, you have to check the matches for each source, because you'll have some phrases on one website and other phrases on another website. It's logical, understandable, but a little annoying. I also hate it when I get alerts for technical, very specific terms that don't leave room for rephrasing and interpretation, but, again, these are not really faults of the software but rather small mishaps all writers face and all software options identify. > > I've been using Copyscape since 2010, when I started my career as a copywriter. It helped me check and ensure the originality of thousands of articles, blog posts, and product reviews, summarizing hundreds of thousands, if not millions of words. I still use it regularly to check my blogs for AM Navigator and help affiliates with their content. Throughout time, some of the clients preferred other tools, I occasionally ran out of credit and was forced to use free tools, and one of the agencies I worked with requested that I use Grammarly Premium. All tools had some strengths, but, when it came to checking content originality, identifying, and removing duplicate content, Copyscape was the best. I recommended it to several other writers I mentored and they agreed that it is the best and were very happy with it. The price is also very affordable, and I love the fact that it's volume-based and not subject to monthly fees. ----- ### "Best Plagiarism Checker on the Market" — 5.0/5 > **Shaikat** | *19 January 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Copyscape is the best plagiarism checker tool for content marketers, and this is my go-to tool. Its pricing is decent and very simple to use. If you're hiring freelance writers for your niche website content, make sure you check them with Copyscape to verify whether they are original or copied from different sources. This tool is also handy for academic writing, or anywhere you need to check for the uniqueness of your content. I trust this tool more than anything else on the market for plagiarism checking. > > **Cons**: Don't like the credit expiration system. If you forget to use your purchased credit within the expiration date, you can't use them anymore. > > Excellent plagiarism checker tool for all. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/116379/copyscape?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/116379/copyscape) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
