Smodin Plagiarism Checker Case Study

Whether you're a writer, student, or professional, one of the last things you want to be accused of is stealing someone else's work. Plagiarism checkers are an essential tool in any writer's toolkit to keep you honest and to protect your reputation. But not all plagiarism detectors are built equal.

That's why we tested Smodin's Plagiarism Detector against top competitors. In all benchmarking, our tool easily and quickly identified copied content with greater accuracy than the competition. Keep scrolling to see the test results yourself.

Testing Methodology

If you need to keep your work of stolen content, you need a tool that's not only accurate but consistent. Especially if you're a student submitting multiple papers throughout a semester, a writer or researcher with regular assignments, or even a teacher checking your students' work.

That's why we knew we couldn't test each tool with just one text sample. Instead, we pulled text from three different sources across the web. Each sample was of a different length and was from a different source.

Our side-by-side tests compared Smodin to:

Grammarly:
Papers Owl:
ZeroGPT:

*Note:GPTZero only allowed one text scan before paying for further scans, while other tools did not. Because of this, we were only able to include results from the first test.

Test 1

For the first test, we took a text sample from a Medium article on self improvement and personal development.

Source: Medium

We then directly copied and pasted this sample into each detector without modifying the text. Here's how each plagiarism checker did:

Grammarly:Failed to detect any plagiarized content.

SmodinDetected 44% plagiarized content and correctly identified the source. Although this wasn't a perfect score, it was still leaps and bounds ahead of the competition.

Test 2

For the second test, we grabbed a few paragraphs from a blog on site content creation.

Again, we pasted the selected text into each checker tool. Here's how each checker performed.

Grammerly: Detected 8% of the content as plagiarized, even though 100% of it was directly copied from another source. it also failed to identify the article from which the text was actually pulled.
