What is AI or Not?
AI or Not serves people examining content origins or manipulation. It analyzes images, text, audio, and video, looks for signs of face or voice manipulation, and supports checks through an API.
According to its documentation, AI or Not lets you:
- analyze whether an image was generated by AI
- detect AI-generated text
- examine audio and video files
- look for signs of face or voice manipulation
- integrate checks into a service through an API
We file it under AI content detection, the category of tools to check whether content is AI-made, and it also overlaps with security and privacy. The category lists 9 verified tools on this site.
The publisher is AIorNot, Inc., based in United States. The service launched in 2023, which gives it some track record.
Who is it for?
It is for anyone who wants to check whether content is AI-made.
AI or Not is a good candidate if:
- you want to try before paying
- you plan to connect it to your tools or automations through its API
- you also work from your phone
The best test is a concrete case from your daily work: if the tool does not beat your current method within a week, move on to an alternative.
How much does AI or Not cost?
Pricing model: freemium (limited free use, then paid). A free plan is offered, usually limited in volume or features.
The first paid plan costs $5 per month (Pro, displayed monthly price; USD 10 in credits included each month), according to the pricing page, checked on October 24, 2026.
Per month, that is cheaper than the category median ($12.95 per month, based on tools with a published price).
To estimate what the same work would cost done directly with an AI model, use our API price calculator. Prices change often: always check the official site before subscribing.
Data and privacy
The publisher does not clearly state where data is hosted. Assume your content may leave your region.
For professional use, check that a data processing agreement (DPA) is offered, and do not send customers' personal data or confidential documents without one.
No export feature is documented: keep a copy of your content elsewhere.
Three habits apply to every AI tool:
- turn off the use of your content for training if the option exists
- use a work account separate from your personal account
- review everything the tool produces before publishing or sending it
Platforms, languages and API
AI or Not runs on: web browser, API, and iPhone and iPad.
Interface languages: English.
A public API lets you call it from your own programs or an automation tool, and plug it into an AI agent.
