Free, and free of the usual catches
There's no account to create, no email to hand over, and no metered allowance counting down while you use it. The check runs on demand when you scan, on-device, so there's no server-side quota to bump into and nothing to upgrade before it'll work.
There is a hosted-API option stubbed in for later, but it isn't switched on — the extension you install and use today is free. We'd rather say that plainly than dress up a trial as a free tool.
Free shouldn't mean text-only
A lot of free detectors only check text, which leaves out the synthetic product shots, fake 'photos', and AI illustrations filling up the web. verif·ai checks both in one scan: a dashed outline on flagged images, a soft tint behind flagged text, each with its own 0–100 confidence score and high/medium/low level.
Being free doesn't make it certain — no detector is. verif·ai gives a confidence read rather than a verdict, so you get a fair signal on images and text without paying for it and without overstating what it can prove.

frequently asked
Is verif·ai actually free, or is it a trial?
It's free to install and use, with no account and no sign-in. A hosted-API option is stubbed in for the future but isn't active, so the extension you use today costs nothing.
Is there a word or check limit?
No metered cap. verif·ai checks a page when you scan it, on-device, so you're not counting down a free allowance.
Does free mean it's less accurate?
No detector is certain, free or paid. verif·ai reports a 0–100 confidence score and a high/medium/low level rather than a verdict, so read it as a signal either way.
Do I have to give an email or sign up?
No. There's no account and no sign-in — you install the extension and scan.
