Same accuracy. Same popular-tier price. Plus a one-click humanizer to fix flagged text in the same scan — no second tool needed, no copy-paste workflow, no extra subscription.
Originality.ai built a strong AI detector. The accuracy is solid — they self-report 99.41%, which is real. The plagiarism + fact-checker bundle is genuinely useful for journalism and editorial workflows. Their company has done excellent product execution since 2022.
The product gap is what happens after the verdict. When Originality flags your draft as 78% AI, the workflow ends. You have a score. You have sentence-level highlights. But you don't have a fix. To actually rewrite the flagged sentences, most Originality users open a second tool — usually Undetectable.ai at $5-31/month — paste their content, rewrite, paste back into Originality to verify, and repeat. Two tools. Two subscriptions. Three browser tabs.
TextSight ships both detection and humanization in one product, at the same price tier. The detector tells you which sentences are flagged, the humanizer fixes only those sentences (Light mode preserves voice; Maximum mode is for when you absolutely need to pass), and the same tool re-scans to verify. One workflow. One subscription. One tab.
Originality is a detection-only product by design. They don't ship a humanizer at $14.95 Pro, $30 PAYG, or even $179 Enterprise. You'll always need a second tool to actually fix flagged content.
For agencies processing under 1.5M words per month, the Enterprise tier is significant overpayment. TextSight has API access at the Business tier ($29.99/mo, 10,000 calls/mo) — about 6× cheaper for equivalent volume.
Originality's Pro tier gives you 30-day scan retention. 365-day retention is gated behind the $179/mo Enterprise tier. TextSight's Pro tier gives you 30 days; Business gives 90; Enterprise is unlimited at $59.99/mo.
Originality has no monthly free tier — your only no-commitment option is the $30 PAYG bundle (3,000 credits = 300K words). TextSight's free tier gives you 3 scans/day with the same Humanization Score and humanizer engine as Pro.
Originality leans heavily into journalism: fact-check, plagiarism check, AI detection, all in one screen. For writers who just need to ship clean drafts, the extra features add cognitive load to every scan.
Pricing reflects annual billing rates as of May 2026. Self-reported accuracy from each vendor's pricing pages.
Honest about the friction. There's no data migration between TextSight and Originality.ai — switching means starting fresh on a new account.
Self-reported accuracy: TextSight 99.2%, Originality 99.41%. The 0.21% gap is within statistical noise and depends heavily on which test corpus you measure against. Both tools cluster within 1% of each other on independent benchmarks. The real differentiator isn't detection accuracy — it's what each tool does after the verdict.
No. Both tools store scans in their own databases and there's no migration path between them. You'll start fresh on TextSight, but new scans accumulate quickly. Most writers replace their old scans within 2-3 weeks of normal use.
Different product philosophies. Originality is built around detection + plagiarism + fact-checking — a journalism toolkit. TextSight is built around the writer's actual loop: detect, fix, verify, ship. Both philosophies are valid for their target users. If you're a writer, the humanizer matters more than the fact-checker.
No. Cancel via Originality's account dashboard before your next billing cycle. We can't do it for you. We recommend running both tools side-by-side for a week to verify TextSight handles your workflow before cancelling.
No. TextSight focuses on AI detection + humanization. If fact-checking is core to your workflow, options include: keep Originality for fact-check + use TextSight for the writer loop, or pair TextSight with a dedicated fact-check tool like Snopes API or Full Fact.
TextSight Business: $29.99/month annual, 10,000 API calls/month. Originality Enterprise: $179/month annual, includes API. For agencies under ~200,000 API calls/year, TextSight is roughly 6× cheaper for equivalent volume.
Not yet. Originality's Chrome extension is mature; TextSight's is on the roadmap but not yet shipped. If browser-based scanning while you write is critical, this is one workflow Originality currently does better.
Detect AI. Fix AI. One tool. 3 free scans/day, no card required.
