FactGuard checks claims, headlines, statements, and URLs, then returns a verdict with reasoning and cited sources. It assigns a calibrated confidence score from 0 to 100 and surfaces framing and potential bias. Verification options are Quick, Thorough, and Private; the free web tier uses Quick mode and limits submitted claims to 1,000 characters. The free plan includes three checks per day and access to the Fact Feed, while the web app shows the 30 most recent checks. Annual Pro is listed at 36.99 USD per year, billed yearly, or $3.08/mo, and includes unlimited checks, all verification modes, shareable verdict cards, and full Fact Feed access; listed Pro plans are marked coming soon. Pro image checks are offered, while provenance, metadata, and first-seen checks stay on-device. FactGuard also describes an early-access MCP server and a Fact-Check API with a stated free tier of 100 calls per day. Its privacy policy says claims sent to the backend are not stored per user on its servers; optional on-device verification is not transmitted to FactGuard or third-party processing providers.
