Quetext AI detector

The Free plan is $0 a month and lists "AI Content Detector (up to 1,000 words)" beside the plagiarism checker at the same limit, a 2,000-word summarizer and a 500-word humanizer, with no API access (quetext.com/pricing, read 9 November 2026). The pricing page does not say whether the 1,000 words is a per-scan or a monthly figure, and the product page says "Free scans up to 1,000 words", so the card records no free-words-per-month value and the free tiers ranking lists Quetext in its second table. The page shows a currency switch for USD, AUD, GBP, CAD, INR and EUR and a Monthly and Yearly toggle on the paid cards; figures below are the USD figures as displayed, read 9 November 2026.

The product page's own comparison table gives a different starting price: "$5.49/mo Billed annually. Monthly option: $7.99/mo" for Quetext, against GPTZero, ZeroGPT and Copyleaks (quetext.com/ai-content-detector, read 9 November 2026). The pricing page, read the same day, shows no plan at either figure, so the card carries the pricing page and files the table's figures as a contradiction.

Retention is the field where the vendor's pages disagree most. The detector FAQ answers "Will my scanned text be saved or used for training?" with "No. Quetext respects your privacy. Your scanned content is not stored, saved, or used to train any models" (quetext.com/ai-content-detector, read 9 November 2026). The privacy policy, last updated October 14, 2026, says in section 6.1: "We may include User Content and Service Usage Data in Quetext's AI Systems training, fine-tuning, evaluation, and quality-assurance workflows", with an opt-out by email that "does not apply to" data already derived or models already trained, and in section 11 that Personal Data is kept "only as long as necessary to provide the Services" while "Aggregated and Derived Data" may be kept "indefinitely" (quetext.com/privacy-policy, read 9 November 2026). The policy defines User Content as "text, documents, files, images, feedback, and any other materials you submit, upload, paste". Only content checked through the Google Docs add-on is excluded from training. The card takes the dated policy over the FAQ, records no retention period, and the data retention ranking quotes both in its unranked table.

Quetext states no accuracy rate. The product page's claim is "line-by-line accuracy" in its header and, in the FAQ, that the detector "has been highly accurate in testing, consistently providing accurate detection of ChatGPT-generated writing" (quetext.com/ai-content-detector, read 9 November 2026). The answer to "How accurate is Quetext's AI detection?" gives no number: "While no tool is perfect, our detector provides confidence scores and highlights specific areas." No false positive rate is published, so the card is absent from the false positive ranking.

The vendor's caveats are plain. "They can produce false positives and false negatives, meaning they may incorrectly flag human-written text or fail to detect AI-generated content"; detectors "perform better on longer, structured text but may struggle with short phrases"; and "it's not about punishing the use of AI it's about maintaining transparency" (same page, read 9 November 2026). On paraphrase the page claims coverage: the detector "analyses sentence structure, tone, and predictability to flag content that may have been paraphrased or lightly edited from an AI draft", a claim no indexed study has measured. The same suite sells an AI Humanizer and routes flagged text into AITutorMe, a paraphrasing tool, which is the caveat a reader should carry away: a detector whose vendor also sells the rewrite.
