Quick answer: Free registered = 500 words/day. Paid = unlimited. The report itself is identical — sentence-level source attribution on both tiers.
Side-by-side
| Tier | Daily word limit | Number of scans | Report content |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anonymous | 0 — no access | — | Sign-up prompt |
| Free (registered) | 500 words/day total | As many as fit in 500 words | Full report — sources, percentages, sentence-level |
| Paid (Lite, Pro, Unlimited) | Unlimited | Unlimited | Full report |
Your Your Plan card on the Account page lists every plan-level allowance, including the plagiarism cap. The daily plagiarism limit then resets on a rolling 24-hour clock from your first scan of the day.
What the free tier actually covers
500 words is about one short essay or two long paragraphs. Fine for spot-checks. Tight if you are scanning multiple drafts or a long document.
You can split a long document into pieces under 500 words and run them on consecutive days. Most users find that frustrating in practice — which is why the paid tier exists.
What you do not gain by paying
- The report quality is the same on free and paid. Same sources, same sentence-level attribution, same percentages.
- The detection algorithm is the same.
- The free report is not deliberately limited — paying does not unlock hidden findings.
What you do gain by paying
- Unlimited daily words — scan a thesis or a long article in one go.
- No "come back tomorrow." The 500-words/day cap goes away.
- Bundled value — paid plans also unlock larger humanizer word budgets, Fix All Errors in Grammar Checker, and (on Pro and above) re-humanize and selective rephrase.
Tip: If plagiarism scanning is your main use case, Lite at $9.99/mo is the cheapest way to get unlimited scans. Everything else in Lite is a bonus.
FAQ
Does the daily 500-word limit reset at midnight? No — it is a rolling 24-hour window from your first scan of the day.
Can I share a paid plan with my team? Not on Lite or Pro — those are individual seats. Unlimited has team-friendly support; ask support about it.
If I run the same text twice, does that count against my daily limit? Yes — each scan deducts from the daily allowance.
