Plagiarism Checker daily word limit (free plan)
Quick answer: A free registered account can check up to 500 words per day with the Plagiarism Checker. The cap resets on a rolling 24-hour window. Any paid plan removes the cap entirely.
The free limit
- Anonymous users: no plagiarism access — you need a free registered account first.
- Free registered: up to 500 words per day, counted across all your scans that day.
- Paid (Lite, Pro, Unlimited): unlimited words, no daily cap.
500 words is about one short essay or two long paragraphs. It is fine for spot-checks; it gets tight if you are scanning a long document or several drafts.
When the limit resets
The cap is a rolling 24-hour window from your first scan of the day — not a midnight reset. Once 24 hours pass from that first scan, your allowance is available again.
Tip: You can split a long document into pieces under 500 words and scan them on consecutive days — but if you check originality often, a paid plan is far less fiddly.
Removing the limit
Any paid plan makes the Plagiarism Checker unlimited. If originality scanning is your main use, Lite at $9.99/mo is the cheapest way to get unlimited checks. The report itself is identical on free and paid — see Free vs. paid plagiarism checks.
FAQ
Does re-checking the same text count again? Yes — each scan draws from the daily 500-word allowance.
Does the daily limit reset at midnight? No. It is a rolling 24-hour window from your first scan of the day.
Is the free report limited compared to paid? No. Free and paid return the same sources, percentages, and sentence-level attribution. Only the daily word cap differs.
