Which detection tool do you use?
We run your document through Turnitin — the AI-writing detector and Similarity checker used by most UK universities — and send you the full, unedited AI-writing and Similarity reports it produces. AI Essay Check is an independent service and is not affiliated with Turnitin. Institutions use different settings and thresholds, so treat the result as a strong indication rather than a guarantee of how your own university would score it.
What is the difference between the AI-writing report and the Similarity report?
The Turnitin AI-writing report estimates how much of the text looks machine-generated and highlights those passages. The Similarity report compares your text against published sources and other documents and lists what matched — the classic plagiarism check. You get both from one submission, at no extra cost.
How long does it take?
Typically within 1 hour of payment, around the clock. A real person does every check, so the badge at the top of the page shows whether we're online right now; if we're away it shows when we're back and when to expect your report. The exact expected time is shown before you pay and on your tracking page.
How do credits work?
Buy a 3-pack or 10-pack, and the credits are attached to your email address. When you order, enter your email, we send you a 6-digit code, and you use one credit instead of paying. No password, no account. Credits never expire, and an unused pack can be refunded within 14 days.
Can I pay with Alipay or WeChat Pay?
Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay are always available. Alipay and WeChat Pay appear on the payment page when enabled — look for them at checkout.
Is my essay stored or shared anywhere?
Your file is stored in encrypted, access-controlled storage only for as long as it takes to process it and deliver the reports, and is deleted automatically within 30 days (sooner if you ask). It is never added to any plagiarism database, repository or training set, and is never shared with anyone else.
Is using this service academic misconduct?
Checking your own work before you submit it is not misconduct. Submitting work you did not write is — and a low AI score does not change that. Always read your own university's academic integrity policy, which is what actually applies to you.
What if my score is high?
The report shows exactly which passages were flagged. Review them: are they your own words? Common triggers are very formulaic phrasing, heavy use of templates, and generic transitions. Revise in your own voice, and keep drafts and notes as evidence of your process. We do not rewrite anything for you.
Can I get a refund?
If we cannot process your file (corrupted, unreadable, wrong format, or over the size limit) we refund you in full. If we deliver more than 2 hours after the expected time shown at checkout, we refund 50%. Once the reports have been delivered we are otherwise unable to refund, because the work has been done. Unused credit packs can be refunded within 14 days.
Which file types are accepted?
PDF, Word (.docx / .doc), OpenDocument (.odt), .rtf and plain text (.txt), up to 20 MB, roughly 300–30,000 words. One document per order.
