Deepfake Detector

Deepfake Detector is a media-authenticity service for images, audio, and video, with browser, web, and developer access. It is best suited to journalists, fact-checkers, finance teams, businesses, and individuals who need repeatable verification rather than a one-off novelty check. Its broad generator coverage and integrations are persuasive, but the free quota is small and there is no real-time analysis.

Overview

Each scan returns an Authentic, Likely Synthetic, or Inconclusive result alongside a confidence score. That third outcome is valuable when evidence is ambiguous, while the score gives a reviewer more context than a simple yes-or-no label. The service analyzes audio, video, and images, and includes face analysis, but it is not designed for live streams or other real-time workflows.

Founded in 2023 and based in Montreal, Deepfake Detector presents itself as a practical verification layer for professional and personal use. Uploaded files are processed in memory and purged within 60 seconds after the verdict; hashed identifiers and verdict metadata remain for billing and audit. Its SOC 2 audit is in progress, and EU data residency is offered on Business plans and above, so organizations with strict governance requirements should weigh the plan level carefully.

Key features

Video analysis works frame by frame and supports clips up to 10 minutes on applicable paid plans. The free tier limits both video and voice detections to two minutes, which is adequate for short clips but unsuitable for routinely checking interviews, recordings, or longer source material. Stated coverage includes video generators such as Sora, Runway, Pika, and Kling; image systems including MidJourney, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion, and Flux; and voice platforms such as ElevenLabs, PlayHT, Resemble, and OpenAI. That breadth makes it a sensible general-purpose detector, although a verdict should still be treated as an investigative signal rather than proof.

The Chrome extension scans image, video, and audio on a webpage from a right-click menu. It runs in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, and other Chromium browsers, making in-context checks faster than downloading every file first. The extension says it does not read other tabs, browsing history, DOM content, or cookies, and requests only contextMenus and activeTab permissions.

For automation, the public REST API accepts a media URL or file and returns JSON detection results. Type-safe SDKs support Python, Node, Go, and Ruby. Files longer than 60 seconds can use a webhook so an application receives the verdict when processing finishes. These are strong building blocks for newsroom, compliance, or moderation pipelines, while the lack of real-time analysis rules it out for live screening.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and includes 50 detections per month, web access, AI/Human verdicts, and a TrustScore from 0 to 100. Voice and video detections are limited to two minutes each. It fits occasional personal checks and trial evaluations, but 50 monthly scans can disappear quickly in a professional queue.

Starter costs $4,939 a month, billed $468/year, with 1,000 detections monthly, 10-minute voice and video limits, detailed confidence scores, PDF and CSV export, API access, and email support. It is the logical entry point for a small team that needs exports or integration, though the pricing is a substantial jump from free. Business costs $199,159 a month, billed $1,908/year, and raises the allowance to 5,000 detections with API access and priority email support. Enterprise costs $599,479 a month, billed $5,748/year, and provides 20,000 detections with the same 10-minute media limits, API access, and priority support. Business and Enterprise are aimed at higher-volume organizations; custom procurement should account for the stated EU residency option on those levels and above.

Platforms

Deepfake Detector is offered through its web service, API, and browser extension. The extension covers Chromium-based browsers, while SDKs make the API practical for Python, Node, Go, and Ruby development environments.

Who it's for

Choose it when a journalist, fact-checker, finance team, or business needs one detector for mixed media, quick browser checks, and programmatic processing. Personal users can use the free plan for occasional verification. Look elsewhere if you need live analysis, materially more than 50 free monthly checks, or a lower-cost paid starting point.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Handles audio, video, and images with an inconclusive option and confidence score.
• Pros: Broad stated coverage of leading video, image, and voice generators.
• Pros: Extension, REST API, webhooks, and SDKs support both quick checks and automation.
• Pros: In-memory processing and rapid file purging reduce retained media exposure.
• Cons: Free users get only 50 detections monthly and two-minute voice/video limits.
• Cons: No real-time analysis for live or continuous monitoring.
• Cons: Paid plan prices rise sharply, making regular high-volume use a significant commitment.

Alternatives

See the AI Deepfake Detection Tools list for a wider comparison. Choose Netarx instead if you want Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, web, and extension access, plus video, voice, and email protection. FauxLens suits buyers seeking a low-cost freemium option with 40 free credits, four detections, and a six-signal forensic pipeline. ForgeSpy is an alternative for Android, iOS, and web users. Tayanch is better for API evaluation with 100 free monthly checks and pay-as-you-go image checks. Hive AI-Generated Content Detection fits developers wanting API, extension, self-hosted, and web access with model-based pay-as-you-go pricing. Reality Defender offers a 50-scan monthly free API tier with up to three seats and image/audio analysis. Resemble Detect is worth considering for pay-as-you-go team access across audio, image, and video. Unreveal is an alternative with API, desktop, Linux, and web platforms.

Verdict

Deepfake Detector is a strong choice for organizations that need mixed-media detection plus an extension and API in one service. Its main reason to choose it is integration breadth and generator coverage; its main reason to look elsewhere is the limited free allowance, steep paid pricing, and absence of real-time analysis.
