What is Copyleaks?

Copyleaks helps people analyze texts and images for reused text or AI generation. It assesses the likely presence of AI-generated text, produces analysis reports and supports integration into another application.

According to its documentation, Copyleaks lets you:

  • search for reused text
  • assess the likely presence of AI-generated text
  • detect AI-generated images
  • produce analysis reports
  • integrate checks into another application

We file it under AI content detection, the category of tools to check whether content is AI-made, and it also overlaps with grammar and paraphrasing. The category lists 9 verified tools on this site.

The publisher is Copyleaks, Inc..

Who is it for?

It is mostly useful to these profiles: teachers, content writers, and researchers. The need it covers is simple to state: check whether content is AI-made.

Copyleaks is a good candidate if:

  • you want to try before paying
  • you plan to connect it to your tools or automations through its API

Before deciding, run a trial on a real task and measure the time saved: it is the only criterion that really counts.

How much does Copyleaks cost?

Pricing model: paid. A free plan is offered, usually limited in volume or features.

The first paid plan costs $167.88 per year (Personal, annual payment; advertised equivalent of USD 13.99/month), according to the pricing page, checked on October 24, 2026.

Per month, that is close to 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

According to its privacy policy, data is processed in several regions depending on the plan.

Exporting your content: PDF. Being able to get your data back makes switching tools easier later.

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

Copyleaks runs on: web browser, API, and browser extension.

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.
