Factward
What it is
Factward checks submitted material by separating it into factual claims and comparing them with web sources. Users can provide text, URLs, or PDFs. Its AI model identifies statements it considers verifiable and filters out opinions, predictions, and subjective statements; it retrieves up to five independent web sources for each claim. Reports label claims Supported, Conflicting Sources, Refuted, or Insufficient Evidence, and provide confidence, reasoning, source links, and a Trust Score. Factward also tracks when claims may have become stale and indicates when they should be checked again. A bookmarklet can send article text for review, and the Pro API can be used in a CMS or publishing pipeline. A beta Chrome extension highlights claims alongside verdicts and evidence, including for selected text. Factward says submitted material is used to produce results and is not sold or shared with third parties, while verification jobs and reports are stored in its database. Niche, paywalled, or very recent claims may have limited evidence, and the classifier may misread snippets or nuanced statements. The Free plan costs nothing and allows two verifications per day. Pro costs $9 a month. Factward describes itself as an aid, not a substitute for professional fact-checking in legal, medical, or financial contexts.

The verdict
Factward provides claim-level verdicts and linked web evidence, with options including a bookmarklet, beta extension, and paid API access. Evidence gaps and possible misinterpretation mean its results should be treated as assistance rather than a definitive professional review.
Who it suits
It suits people who want to review factual claims in text, web pages, or PDFs and see linked evidence. It is presented as an aid rather than a replacement for professional fact-checking in legal, medical, or financial work.
