Productivity & writing · alternatives
Pangram checks text and images for AI generation, and the limits are what push people to look elsewhere: Free is 2,000 words and 3 image scans a day, Individual caps at 300,000 words a month, and the lowest price is tied to annual billing. Its results are also probabilistic, not definitive.
The alternatives in our catalog are assistants and content tools, not detectors, so they apply if your real need is writing or reviewing text. ChatGPT has a free plan and Plus (consumer) at $20 per month for writing, research and analysis. Claude, Pro at $20 per user per month with a free plan, handles writing and analysis too. Jasper is a content platform for marketing teams with brand voice controls; Pro is $59 per seat per month billed annually and no free plan is listed. Our data does not say that any of the three detects AI-written text.
"Better suited" below is based on documented features and pricing from our verified profiles, not on a head-to-head test. Prices are USD as published by each vendor.
