ClaimCrush

ClaimCrush checks claims in articles, videos, broadcasts, and social media against sources, presenting evidence and citation links. Users can submit a URL or draft, upload or link a video, monitor a live broadcast, or provide a social post or thread. For video, it transcribes and timestamps claims for frame-accurate verification. Sources receive ratings from 0 to 100; ClaimCrush says high-credibility sources inform verdicts while weaker sources are displayed but do not drive them.

The Chrome extension offers a side panel with timestamped video reports and can analyze video, images, text, documents, and live conversations. The service lists X/Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, Discord, YouTube, Twitch, and Kick. Its live-checking integrations cover Discord calls and YouTube Live, Twitch, and Kick streams. Debate rooms can be public or private and include shareable codes, live per-seat fact-check cards, audience votes, and an AI verdict. An Android app includes text and video analysis, logic and evidence modes, clip uploads, and saved conversation history. Starter costs $15 a month and Pro costs $20 a month; both include monthly credits and have video-length limits. No free plan is listed, though a free trial is available.

ClaimCrush offers claim review across many formats, with browser, Android, and live-stream options. Consider its paid plans’ credits and clip limits when selecting a tier.

ClaimCrush may suit readers, creators, or editorial teams checking claims across text, video, broadcasts, and social platforms. The Newsroom & Organizations plan lists shared workspace, history, and audit log features.

ClaimCrush is a cross-format fact-checking service for readers, creators, journalists, and moderators who need evidence attached to claims in text, video, broadcasts, or social posts. It is the strongest fit for people who regularly verify moving or multimedia conversations and can work within monthly credit and clip limits.

Overview

ClaimCrush accepts a URL or draft, video upload or link, live broadcast, social post or thread, screenshot, image, or document. It detects claims automatically, checks them against source material, and returns evidence with citation links. Its source scores run from 0 to 100; higher-credibility sources drive verdicts, while weaker sources remain visible without determining the result. That approach is useful when provenance matters, although paid access and usage credits make it less suitable for occasional checks.

Key features

Video and browser analysis

For video, ClaimCrush transcribes and timestamps claims so a reviewer can locate the relevant frame precisely. The Chrome Extension adds a side panel with timestamped reports and can analyze video, images, text, documents, and live conversations. The Android app supports text and video analysis, logic and evidence modes, video-clip uploads, and saved conversation history.

Social and live checking

Supported social services include X/Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, Discord, YouTube, Twitch, and Kick. The extension supports live fact-checking during Discord calls and YouTube Live, Twitch, and Kick streams, giving moderators and on-air teams a way to check claims without leaving the conversation.

Debate rooms

Public or private debate rooms use a shareable code, display per-seat fact-check cards, and combine audience votes with an AI verdict. This is a focused feature for structured discussions rather than a general research workspace.

Pricing

There is no free plan, but a free trial is offered. Starter suits lighter text work and short clips; its two-minute ceiling rules out longer segments. Pro adds 150 credits and extends clips to five minutes for a modest monthly increase, making it the practical choice for frequent video verification. Editorial desks and communications teams should consider the annual organization tier for collaboration, auditability, and unlimited checks, but must request a quote. Demos and organizational inquiries go to [email protected].

Platforms

ClaimCrush runs on the web, Android, and a browser extension. The extension is the distinctive route for live streams and calls; Android is better suited to mobile text and video checks with saved history.

Who it's for

Choose ClaimCrush if you verify claims across articles, clips, broadcasts, and social feeds, or need citations and timestamps for editorial or moderation work. Its newsroom workspace fits teams that require shared history and an audit log. It is a poor match for infrequent users who want a permanently free allowance, or for video work routinely exceeding five minutes on individual plans.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Broad inputs cover text, URLs, video, broadcasts, social posts, images, screenshots, and documents.
• Pro: Timestamped transcripts and frame-accurate verification make video findings easier to audit.
• Pro: Source scoring and citation links clarify why a verdict was reached.
• Pro: Live integrations and debate rooms address real-time moderation and group discussion.
• Con: Paid-only access and credit quotas limit casual use.
• Con: Starter and Pro restrict uploaded clips to two and five minutes respectively.
• Con: Organization pricing requires an annual agreement and a sales conversation.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, see AI Fact-Checking Tools.

Verdict

ClaimCrush is recommended for multimedia fact-checkers, moderators, and editorial teams that value citations, timestamped evidence, and live-stream coverage. Choose it for breadth and real-time workflows; look elsewhere if you need a free plan, unrestricted long clips, or simple occasional checks.
