Which AI detectors have a student plan? The four cards that price a student, academic or education tier for one person, and the nine that sell education to institutions only

AIDI-Q-37

Updated ·

Four of the 72 AI detectors in the index name a plan for students, academic users or education that one person can buy at a displayed price, by the plans field of every card read 10 November 2026 in the data file: Isgen's Academic plan at $8 a month billed annually (isgen.ai, read 9 November 2026), Compilatio's Studium credit packs for students from EUR 4.99 for 20 credits (compilatio.net, read 9 November 2026), Detecting-AI.com's Scholar plan at $29.99 a month or $240 a year (detecting-ai.com, read 10 November 2026) and ZeroGPT's EDU plan at C$32.99 a month billed yearly only, as displayed to a reader in Canada (zerogpt.com, read 8 November 2026). Nine more cards name an education, institution or school tier that is sold by quote or contact rather than to a student, and 59 cards state no student, academic or education tier of any kind.

A student plan and an education plan are different offers, and the two tables keep them apart. The first holds the plans a student can buy alone, with the price as the vendor displays it and the currency the page shows; the second holds the tiers named for schools, universities or education that end in "contact sales", "request quote" or a custom price, which a district or department buys and a student cannot. A card enters the first table only when the plan's own name says student, academic, scholar or education; a cheap individual plan with no such name, QuillBot's Premium at $8.33 a month billed annually (quillbot.com, read 8 November 2026) or Scribbr's per-check pricing from $19.95 (scribbr.com, read 8 November 2026), stays out. This page is one of the questions answered from the index; the free tiers ranking orders the allowances a student pays nothing for, the admissions view reads the same cards for the office on the other side of the application, and the AI detector register carries every card.

Prices as each vendor displays them on the page linked, read on the date shown; none of the four pages states a proof-of-enrolment step, and the index has not bought any of the four plans.

Which AI detector plans can a student buy alone?

Four, and only one of them is named "Academic" rather than priced for a school. Isgen's Academic plan is the cheapest monthly figure of the four at $8 a month on annual billing, with 350,000 detection words a month and a 60,000-character ceiling per submission, where the Ultimate plan at $24 a month removes both limits (isgen.ai, read 9 November 2026). Compilatio sells to students by credit rather than subscription: Studium's 20-credit pack at EUR 4.99 covers 5,000 words and the 400-credit pack at EUR 34.99 covers 100,000 words, with credits valid for six months, while the institutional product, Magister+, carries no public price (compilatio.net, read 9 November 2026). Detecting-AI.com's Scholar plan is the dearest of the four at $29.99 a month, and the name marks the top of the vendor's three personal tiers rather than a discount: Writer costs $9.99 and Pro $19.99 a month on the same page, each with unlimited AI detection, and Scholar adds unlimited humanizer words and 36,000 plagiarism credits a year (detecting-ai.com, read 10 November 2026). ZeroGPT's EDU plan sits between its MAX and EXPERT tiers at C$32.99 a month on yearly billing, with 250,000 characters per detection and 80 batch files; the page priced every plan in Canadian dollars to the index's reader and showed no switcher (zerogpt.com, read 8 November 2026).

Each of the four prices is the vendor's displayed figure on the read date, and the pages name no eligibility rule: nothing on the four pages asks for a student e-mail address or an enrolment document.

Which detectors sell an education tier to institutions only?

Nine cards name a tier for schools, universities or education that has no displayed price for one person, or a price aimed at a team. Copyleaks lists "Education and Enterprise" as custom (copyleaks.com, read 8 November 2026); Grammarly Authorship's "Enterprise and Grammarly for Education" tier is bought through sales, gives education admins aggregated Authorship analytics, and K-12 admins must ask their Customer Success Manager to turn Authorship on (grammarly.com, read 9 November 2026); Compilatio's Magister+ is sold to institutions by demo and quote and is the only Compilatio product that carries AI detection for teachers (compilatio.net, read 9 November 2026); Trinka's "Enterprise and Institution" tier is custom priced with LMS and SSO integration (trinka.ai, read 10 November 2026); Paperpal's "Essentials Pack (Universities and Corporates)" is "Contact us", with the packages data listing "AI_DETECTION 10000 per MONTH" on the corporate-essential package (paperpal.com, read 10 November 2026); PlagiarismCheck's two Organizations tiers are "Request quote" (plagiarismcheck.org, read 9 November 2026); AIDetectPlus prices its Enterprise tier for "schools, colleges and large teams" on request (aidetectplus.com, read 9 November 2026); Passed.ai's Institutional tier reads "Flexible, Let's chat" on the pricing page archived 17 April 2026, and registration was closed on 10 November 2026 (web.archive.org, read 10 November 2026). The one institution tier with a displayed price is GPTKit's "Unlimited (Institution)" at $20 a month or $144 a year, for up to 20 team members with API access (gptkit.ai, read 9 November 2026).

Tiers as the plans field of each card names them, read on the date shown. Turnitin and Turnitin Clarity carry no plan list at all: Turnitin's AI writing detection "is only available to customers that license Turnitin Originality" (guides.turnitin.com, read 8 November 2026), and Clarity is licensed separately through an account manager or the sales form (guides.turnitin.com, read 9 November 2026), so a student cannot buy either. The other 57 cards name no student, academic, scholar, education or institution tier in their plans field; 4 + 9 + 2 + 57 = 72. The institutional programmes, and the nonprofit and university tools that charge nothing, are read in full on the education and nonprofit pricing question.

Does a student plan say anything about the detector?

No. A plan name is a price label, and the four cards that carry one have thin test records: Isgen, Detecting-AI.com and Compilatio have 0, 0 and 1 study records in the ranking by independent testing, and Compilatio's one is Weber-Wulff 2023, where the free 2023 tool scored 40 of 54 documents correctly with 0 false accusations in 18 human texts (arXiv 2306.15666, Tables 5 and 9, read 9 November 2026). ZeroGPT has 7 records, among them a 1.42% false positive rate at the 0.5 threshold on RAID's human-written documents (arXiv 2405.07940, Table 4, read 8 November 2026) and 0 false accusations in 18 human documents in Weber-Wulff 2023. A student who wants to check a draft before submission should read the sentence-level highlighting question first, because a plan that returns one percentage for a whole essay says nothing about which paragraph drew the score.

A named student plan is a discount label the vendor chose; none of the four pages verifies enrolment, and the plan's name is no evidence of how the detector performs on student writing.

Questions about student plans for AI detectors

Is there an AI detector with a student discount or student plan?

4 of 72 cards name one, read 10 November 2026: Isgen Academic at $8 a month billed annually, Compilatio Studium credit packs from EUR 4.99, Detecting-AI.com Scholar at $29.99 a month or $240 a year, and ZeroGPT EDU at C$32.99 a month billed yearly (isgen.ai, compilatio.net, detecting-ai.com, zerogpt.com, read 8 to 10 November 2026). None asks for proof of enrolment on the page read.

Which student plan is the cheapest per month?

$8 a month, Isgen's Academic plan on annual billing, against Detecting-AI.com's Scholar at $29.99 monthly and ZeroGPT's EDU at C$32.99 on yearly billing (isgen.ai, read 9 November 2026). Compilatio's Studium is priced per credit pack, EUR 4.99 for 5,000 words, not per month.

Does Turnitin sell AI detection to students?

No: Turnitin's AI writing detection "is only available to customers that license Turnitin Originality", and the card records no plan list and no free tier (guides.turnitin.com, read 8 November 2026). Compilatio is the one institutional vendor in the index that also sells a student product, Studium.

Does GPTZero or QuillBot have a student plan?

Neither names one. GPTZero's free plan covers 10,000 words a month and its premium plans start at $12.99 a month by the vendor's blog (gptzero.me, read 8 November 2026); QuillBot's Premium costs $8.33 a month billed annually and bundles the detector with no detector-only plan (quillbot.com, read 8 November 2026).

Has any detector with a student plan been tested by a study?

2 of the 4: ZeroGPT has 7 study records and Compilatio 1, by the study lists on their cards read 10 November 2026; Isgen and Detecting-AI.com have none. ZeroGPT recorded a 1.42% false positive rate at the 0.5 threshold on RAID's human documents (arXiv 2405.07940, Table 4) and Compilatio 0 false accusations in 18 human documents in Weber-Wulff 2023 (arXiv 2306.15666, Table 9).
