Our verdict: GPTZero
GPTZero is a good entry point for editorial or HR teams wanting a quick first check. But watch out: its false positive rate remains non-negligible (human text flagged as AI), and authors who "humanize" their content fool it easily. Use as an indicator, never as proof. Avoid for consequential decisions (exams, layoffs).
Our verdict: Winston AI
Winston AI is the most accessible detector for a teacher or consultant wanting a clean report to keep. Its lack of an API makes it less suitable for automated workflows. Like all AI detectors, results aren't foolproof: heavily reworked AI text often slips through.
