FAQ

What does GPTZero's free tier include?

The free plan scans 10,000 words per month with 10 batch files; the $10/month starter plan covers 150,000 words, and the $16/month premium plan covers 300,000 words with unlimited batch scanning.

How does GPTZero detect AI text?

It analyzes perplexity (complexity and unpredictability) and burstiness (variation in sentence structure and length); human writing tends to be more varied.

Can results be treated as final verdicts?

Not recommended. AI detection has error rates — treat results as reference and add human review for high-stakes decisions.
