The 5 Best Anti-Plagiarism Programs

Let’s look at the most popular programs that are in demand among scholars.

1. Turnitin

Among the advantages of this anti-plagiarism program are:

🟦 Operation with a leading content database in the field, ensuring comprehensive analysis;

🟦 24/7 support in 10 languages, simplifying communication between the subscriber and those responsible for the service quality;

🟦 Options designed for teacher-student interaction, which is important for those who both practice and teach.

On the one hand, the tools and options provided do not offer anything fundamentally new, as they represent a standard set of features for a good academic anti-plagiarism service. However, on the other hand, there is one significant feature that makes this program unique and distinguishes it from others: the option to detect text manipulations.

It’s worth noting that recently, there have been numerous collections of life hacks aimed at bypassing anti-plagiarism checks, commonly used by students. This service can identify such text manipulations, which is one of the reasons for its demand.

The pricing and communication policy of the service is such that prices are not disclosed on the website. Institutions can receive a personalized offer based on their requests. University subscriptions are practiced. Despite the absence of listed prices, last year Kent State University published information indicating a cost of $3 per student.

2. Strike-plagiarism

This anti-plagiarism program is academic and well-suited for checking scientific articles. Its advantage lies in access to scientific and university databases, allowing users to detect copied fragments and determine their source.

Another advantage is the user-friendly similarity report. Additional benefits include:

🟦 Convenient support service staffed by specialists who speak 15 languages.

🟦 Offices on various continents operating around the clock, meaning subscribers can resolve issues using a convenient messenger to contact service administrators.

🟦 Strict confidentiality. All documents checked are protected from copying and third-party access, ensuring the protection of scientific content.

🟦 A task option that allows teachers to interact with students, making the program suitable for researchers who also teach.

Payment is structured as follows: subscribers purchase a certain number of tokens, valid for six months. One token equals 18,000 characters, with payment possible in various currencies. Paying in dollars, one token costs $3, making the service relatively expensive.

Subscriptions can be individual or corporate.

3. iThenticate

The advantages of this service include:

🟦 Adaptation specifically for research publications;

🟦 Trust from scientific journals, where it is considered acceptable, though less popular than Turnitin;

🟦 A large database for checks, with access to over 70 billion web pages;

🟦 Access to both active and archived pages;

🟦 A convenient similarity report.

These advantages make the program popular among many researchers. In terms of pricing, this tool belongs to Turnitin, and its cost is not publicly disclosed but is available through individual proposals from the company’s representatives.

4. Grammarly

This service offers both paid and free versions, each with different options. Initially, Grammarly was designed for broader purposes than just anti-plagiarism. Its primary goal was to improve English content, making it a good tool for those writing scientific articles in English or attempting to do so.

A positive feature of the service is its multifunctionality. For example, besides unique words, it can show the percentage of rare lexical units in a text, beneficial for those aiming for a deeper analysis.

Regarding pricing plans, the anti-plagiarism feature is available only in the paid “premium” ($12 per month) and “business” ($15 per month) versions. The free version does not include this tool.
In summary, each researcher should choose the anti-plagiarism program that best suits them, though considering the preferences of scientific journals is advisable.

5. Compilatio

Compilatio is another well-recognized plagiarism detection software, especially popular in Europe and academic institutions.

Key features include:

🟦 Access to an extensive database of academic documents, student papers, and online sources;
🟦 Clear similarity reports, allowing users to easily identify copied fragments and their origins;
🟦 Specialized solutions for both students and institutions, making it a versatile choice;
🟦 Training materials and educational resources for promoting academic integrity among students;
🟦 Multilingual support for a wide user base.

Compilatio works on a subscription basis, with options tailored for individuals, universities, and research institutions. Its combination of plagiarism detection and educational support tools makes it a strong alternative to the better-known services like Turnitin and iThenticate.
