Questions? Answered.

How accurate is PenProof?

PenProof uses heuristic analysis (phrase patterns, sentence burstiness, structural signals) to estimate AI likelihood. It works best on articles of 150+ words. No detector is 100% accurate — we show you a confidence score, not a binary yes/no.

Does it work on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini output?

Yes. Our pattern library covers common AI writing signatures across all major models. We continuously update our detection heuristics.

Is my data private?

Absolutely. Text is sent to our API for scoring and immediately discarded. We do not store article content, and we never track your browsing history.

What browsers are supported?

Chrome, Edge, Brave, and any Chromium-based browser. Firefox support is planned.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Subscriptions are managed through Lemon Squeezy. Cancel anytime from your billing portal — no questions asked.

What is search result scanning?

A paid feature that shows AI/human score badges directly on Google and Bing search results, so you can evaluate content credibility before clicking.

Stop guessing. Start detecting.

Join thousands of readers who verify content authenticity as they browse.
