Deepfake Detector

Deepfake Detector analyzes audio, video, and images and returns an Authentic, Likely Synthetic, or Inconclusive result with a confidence score. It is available on the web, through a browser extension, and through a REST API that accepts a media URL or file and returns JSON. Video analysis examines frames, and applicable plans support clips up to 10 minutes. Coverage includes video generators such as Sora, Runway, Pika, and Kling; image generators such as MidJourney, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion, and Flux; and voice platforms including ElevenLabs, PlayHT, Resemble, and OpenAI. The Chrome extension scans webpage media from a right-click menu and works in Chromium browsers including Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Arc. Webhooks can deliver results for files longer than 60 seconds, and type-safe SDKs are available for Python, Node, Go, and Ruby. Uploaded files are purged within 60 seconds after a verdict, while hashed identifiers and verdict metadata remain for billing and audit. The free plan includes 50 detections per month; paid plans start at $49/mo.

Deepfake Detector combines media checks with web, extension, and API access. Consider its monthly detection allowance and retention of hashed identifiers and verdict metadata when choosing a plan.

It may suit journalists, finance teams, fact-checkers, businesses, and personal users who need to assess synthetic media. The API, SDKs, and webhooks also serve users integrating checks into software workflows.

Deepfake Detector checks audio, video, and images for signs of synthetic generation. It is best suited to journalists, fact-checkers, finance teams, and businesses that need both quick browser checks and developer access. The free tier covers occasional verification, while sustained or longer-form work requires a paid detection quota.

Overview

Every scan returns an Authentic, Likely Synthetic, or Inconclusive verdict plus a confidence score. That third outcome is useful when evidence is insufficient for a binary call, and the score gives reviewers a way to weigh uncertainty. Face analysis is supported, but the service does not provide real-time analysis.

Deepfake Detector was founded in 2023 and is headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It covers the three media types most verification workflows encounter, with access through the web, a browser extension, and an API.

Key features

Video analysis works at frame level. Applicable paid plans accept clips up to 10 minutes, whereas Free limits each video detection to two minutes. That makes the free allowance suitable for short clips, not interviews, presentations, or other longer source material.

Coverage includes major 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. This breadth is useful when a reviewer encounters media made with different popular tools, though a verdict remains a screening signal rather than a substitute for editorial judgment.

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 media first. The extension says it does not read other tabs, browsing history, DOM content, or cookies, and requests only contextMenus and activeTab permissions.

The public REST API accepts a media URL or file and returns JSON detection results. Type-safe SDKs are provided for Python, Node, Go, and Ruby. Files longer than 60 seconds can use a webhook so an application receives the verdict after processing, a practical option for asynchronous pipelines.

Uploaded files are processed in memory and purged within 60 seconds after the verdict is returned. Hashed identifiers and verdict metadata remain for billing and audit. The company says its SOC 2 audit is in progress; EU data residency is offered on Business plans and above. Those terms matter to organizations with retention or residency requirements.

Pricing

Free: free, with 50 detections per month, web access, AI/Human verdicts, and a TrustScore from 0 to 100. Voice and video are limited to two minutes per detection. It is a sensible starting point for personal users and occasional newsroom checks, but the monthly cap and short video limit quickly constrain regular use.

Starter: $4,939 a month, billed $468/year. It raises the allowance to 1,000 detections per month, permits voice and video up to 10 minutes, and adds detailed confidence scores, PDF and CSV export, API access, and email support. This is the first tier suited to a recurring workflow, although the published monthly figure is substantial and the annual billing term changes the effective commitment.

Business: $199,159 a month, billed $1,908/year. It includes 5,000 detections monthly, 10-minute voice and video limits, API access, and priority email support. EU data residency begins at this level, making it the relevant choice for organizations that need that option and a larger shared quota.

Enterprise: $599,479 a month, billed $5,748/year. The 20,000-detection allowance and priority email support target high-volume deployments. Teams needing more than Starter's export features or Business's quota have room to scale, but this is an enterprise commitment rather than a casual upgrade.

Platforms

Web access handles direct uploads and checks, while the Chromium extension supports contextual right-click scans. API users can submit URLs or files, receive JSON, and integrate the Python, Node, Go, or Ruby SDKs. Webhooks are available for analyses that take longer than 60 seconds.

Who it's for

Journalists and fact-checkers benefit from the extension and three-way verdicts when checking material in context. Finance teams and businesses are better served by paid API quotas, exports, and longer clip support. Personal users can test the service on Free, provided 50 monthly detections and two-minute media limits are enough. It is a poor fit for live monitoring because real-time analysis is not offered.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Audio, video, and image coverage in one service; broad stated coverage of popular generators; browser extension across major Chromium browsers; REST API, SDKs, and webhooks for automation; rapid file purging after verdicts.
• Cons: Free use is capped at 50 detections monthly and two-minute voice/video checks; real-time analysis is absent; hashed identifiers and verdict metadata are retained; SOC 2 is still in progress; paid tiers are quota-based and carry high published prices.

Alternatives

AI Deepfake Detection Tools is the broader list to consult when comparing this category.

• FauxLens suits users wanting Android access and a low-cost one-time Starter option with a six-signal forensic pipeline.
• Netarx is the alternative for people who also want video, voice, and email protection across desktop and mobile platforms.
• ForgeSpy fits users seeking a freemium Android, iOS, and web service with signup credits for image and video scans.
• Resemble Detect is worth choosing for self-hosted deployment or pay-as-you-go team access.
• Tayanch is the better starting point for API evaluation with 100 free monthly checks and per-image pricing.
• Hive AI-Generated Content Detection offers developer access to more than 10 Hive models with pay-as-you-go credits.
• Reality Defender provides a free API tier with 50 monthly scans, up to three seats, image and audio analysis, and an analytics dashboard.
• Toren uses small one-time token packs and a low-cost monthly Starter plan for web scans.

Verdict

Choose Deepfake Detector if you need one service for multimodal checks, a Chromium extension, and production API integration, especially when 10-minute paid video limits and webhook delivery fit your workflow. Look elsewhere if you need real-time monitoring, substantially higher free usage, self-hosting, or a lower-cost path to frequent scans.
