Which should you use?
Use GPTZero (or a dedicated SaaS detector) when you need a careful, documented verdict on a specific text — academic integrity, hiring, editorial sign-off. Use verif·ai when you're reading the web and want an immediate, calm signal on the page in front of you, images included.
verif·ai's text signal is a transparent on-device heuristic and images are flagged via embedded credentials, so treat it as triage, not a forensic ruling.
